Just so we’re all clear:
The economy is spiraling under Trump’s new tariffs, essential programs like Medicare/Medicaid are under attack, and yet all Republicans want is to pass more tax breaks for billionaires…
Got it.

Senate GOP passes budget plan, setting up a critical next phase for Trump agenda
The vote brings Republicans a step closer to finalizing a sweeping plan to address defense, energy, immigration and tax policy. But a number of potential wildcards must still be sorted out.

Republicans’ SAVE Act strips away centuries of progress to make sure women & people of color can vote.
This bill would make it harder to vote—especially for married women, servicemembers & their families abroad, working parents, and low-income people.
We won’t go back.

Our fascist government put a third-grader in handcuffs.
A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York.
But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.

Last week, President Trump:
- said that he’s “not joking” about running for a third term as president, which would be unconstitutional.
- implemented tariffs on dozens of countries.
- called on Republicans to defund NPR and PBS, calling the public broadcasters “radical left ‘monsters.’”
