In 1863, at Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln dreamed of a government โof the people, by the people, for the people.โ In 2024, in Mar-a-Lago, Trump is planning a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire class and for the billionaire class. Lincolnโs vision was right. Letโs fight for it.
๐จNEW: Vivek Ramaswamay, an incoming member of the Trump Administration, has announced plans to cut $120 billion in Veterans health care.
RETWEET to let the American people know what they voted for!
Vivek Ramaswamy, the new co-chair of DOGE with Elon Musk, has said in the past that he wants to lay off 75% of the government's workforce, the U.S. government being the largest employer in the country.
That means that over 1.7 million people will be without jobs.
Sounds smart.

A little story if you dont mind. I once owned a business. One day myself and a white employee were going to a client's home in a city called Livonia (Mi). We were driving down a main street going west. A police car was going east.
The cop looked over at us as we passed. I told my white employee that we're about to get pulled over. Sure enough, the cop whipped a u-turn, hit his lights, and pulled up behind us.
My employee was a little shaken and asked, what did you do, Mr. Ross? I said, nothing. The cop asks for the usual. I asked him, "Why did you stop me?" He said your brake lights are out. My employee blurted out, "Thatโs Bull $h*t Mr. Ross!!! How did he see your brake light while he was driving towards us?"
The officer saw my fire department badge when I gave him my driver's license and didn't pursue his ruse any further and let me go. He was fishing. Hoping to find a black guy driving dirty. When the cop pulled away, we checked my brake lights, and they were fine.
I told my employee, "You've just witnessed, "Driving While Black." It's a real thing.
Surely, things just didn't seem right. This could be a very big scandal. It's being said that Elon Musk's StarLink satellite Internet software was hooked up to the voting tabulation machines in California and swing states. Why? Seems like they told Trump behind doors that he didn't have to worry about the votes. But Trump wasn't smart enough to keep that information himself.
What people arenโt getting is that we did not lose an election, we lost the protections of the Constitution and rule of law.
Blue people in red states will be so damned vulnerable.
So I say this with every micron of my being, the people who told us last time that Trump wasnโt
Tariffs are taxes.
The foreign company or importer pays the taxes, yes.
Then they pass the cost onto the consumer โ by raising prices.
So tariffs are paid by YOU โ and the prices of EVERYTHING are about to go up.
Weโll call it Trumpflation.
With the election over, I know many businesses already pricing in anticipated Trump tariffs. This is happening now. We should expect inflation to rise again, wages to stagnate, lay offs, and anticipated bonuses will be used instead to buy materials now. The hardship you wanted.
@vexedinthecity Trump's 93 Campaign Promises
Every promise made on writing, on video and in interviews and rally speeches.
Project 47 Agenda- And that is every bit as crazy as Project 2025

We have compiled a list of 93 campaign promises Trump has made *on video*. When you see them all written out like this, it is quite ugly. We will be keeping track of whether or not he keeps these promises. https://t.co/4IdSSuIYek
If you have a child with special needs with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) the Department of Education makes sure your local school district has the resources to meet your childโs needs. No DOE means no one to enforce those IEPs. Your kid is getting warehoused.
Racist, vile and threatening text messages are being sent to young African-Americans throughout the country, including on college campuses.
There are extremists in America who feel empowered.
We will not be intimidated by anyone.
