If trickle-down economics worked, we wouldn't be struggling to afford groceries while billionaires reach a record $8 TRILLION in wealth.
If trickle-down economics worked, we wouldn't be struggling to afford healthcare while Wall Street soars.
We've been scammed.
Tax the rich.
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
While the rest of us had our flights delayed or cancelled, 245,000 private jets took off during October's shutdown.
That's the best month for private jets in 20 years.
The richest 1% of Americans are getting richer.
The rest of us can't afford groceries, rent, or healthcare.
Immigration is not America's biggest problem. Not even close.
--99.9% of crime is committed by citizens.
--95% of gangs in America are American.
--90% of drugs moved in America is by Americans.
--The number one cause of death in America is cancer.
--The second cause of death is heart disease.
--Then Alzheimer's.
--Then car accidents.
--100% of school shootings are done by Americans.
If you want to make America great again, fight real crime, fight real criminals, fight cancer, fight heart disease, fight accidents, but please stop fighting the boogeyman under white people's beds.
There’s always money to make the rich richer. But somehow taxpayer money “runs out” when it’s time to feed kids, fund care, or heal the sick.
That’s not a budget crisis—it’s a values crisis.
Lately there’s been a surge of accounts trying to bash families who get SNAP benefits. There’s no shame in being lower income. Their kids need food. I wish more of my tax dollars were spent to feed Americans who need help rather than upgrade a $400 million plane from Qatar.
The elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Musk and Trump who are bleeding this country dry.
The USDA has withdrawn a plan to impose stronger safety regulations limiting salmonella levels in raw poultry.
Who was the biggest donor to Trump's inauguration fund?
Pilgrim’s Pride — one of the largest chicken processors in the country.
See how this works?
Amazon's CEO has saved around $6.6 MILLION in taxes since Trump and Republicans' 2017 corporate tax breaks.
$6.6 million could have covered annual child care costs for more than 600 families.
Meanwhile, 72% of Amazon workers have $0 in their 401(k)s.
Trickle-down is a scam.
We have a corrupt campaign finance system that influences BOTH parties.
Elon Musk gets to spend $277 million to elect Donald Trump.
AIPAC spends millions to defeat Democrats who stand up to Netanyahu.
We must end Citizens United and get Big Money out of U.S. politics.
Jeff Bezos has saved $6.2 BILLION in taxes since the Trump tax scam failed to tax wealth like work.
$6.2 billion could have paid for nearly 650,000 public housing units for an entire year.
Meanwhile, half of Amazon workers made less than $37,181 in 2024.
See the problem?
I WANT MORE PEOPLE TO KNOW DONALD TRUMP IS IGNORING A UNANIMOUS SUPREME COURT ORDER, THAT EVEN CLARENCE THOMAS AGREED WITH, TO RELEASE A MAN THE GOVERNMENT WRONGFULLY KIDNAPPED AND SENT TO A FOREIGN PRISON WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE OF HIM COMMITTING A CRIME!
Kaitlan Collins reminds Donald Trump that he agreed to abide by Supreme Court decisions just a few days and he flies off the handle, berating her and her news organization. This pathetic little bully needs to be impeached and fired ASAP.
BREAKING: A jaw-dropping new analysis from Goldman Sachs reveals that Donald Trump's disastrous policies could cost the United States a staggering $90 billion in lost tourism and export revenue.
And it gets so much worse...
Tourism has been cratering as Trump shreds America's global reputation and his border agents continue to detain, terrorize, and deport innocent people. Reports of Europeans being improperly held for weeks have terrified tourists.
Last month, tourism plummeted 10% from the prior year with a 14% dip from the United Kingdom, 27% from Ireland, 28% from Germany, and 34% from Denmark.
Canadian flight reservations for the summer season have dropped by an astonishing 70% — directly impacting American businesses and vendors that rely on tourism. Some hotels are reporting an overall 25% drop in bookings from Europeans.
In addition to fears about traveling to the increasingly authoritarian United States, many foreigners are choosing to boycott and spend their money elsewhere. Trump's tariffs and hateful rhetoric have destroyed our national image.
According to Goldman Sachs, some $20 billion in retail spending from international visitors could evaporate into thin air. Coupled with the tariffs and the skyrocketing cost of goods, this all amounts to mass economic suffering for the American people.
In the worst case scenario Goldman Sachs estimates a massive 0.3% hit to the GDP, roughly $90 billion.
Trump's so-called Golden Age is turning out to be a new Dark Age.

Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government?
That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.
The average SNAP food benefit is $6 per person per day.
We really want to take $6 a day from people who can't afford groceries so we can give billionaires more tax breaks?
Very cool stat just now from ESPN
@GoJacksWBB are one of three teams in the tournament without a single transfer on the roster
And one of 12 teams in the entire country.
