Trump’s draconian cuts to health care, education, and foreign aid were rationalized on balancing the budget.
Yet thanks to his tax cuts for the rich, the deficit is on track to hit almost 7% of GDP by 2036.

Trump’s tariffs haven’t just hurt American business.
They’re about to be a growing drain on public finances as the government pays back tariffs ruled illegal by the Supreme Court.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal.
There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.
The public, and all who knew and loved the victim, deserve a full, independent investigation.

It is a carnival of corruption. Congressional stock trading. First Family crypto schemes. A secondhand jumbo jet.
These are not academic concerns. They hurt all of us - and they are related to the reasons we can't have common-sense outcomes that most Americans actually agree on.
Don't let anyone tell us we can't have nice things - like good roads, schools, and health care - as if the world's richest nation couldn't possibly afford it.
Companies associated with Trump's sons have received $1 billion and counting in government contracts since he returned to office.
We've never seen anything like this coming out of the White House.

World Liberty Financial has been the biggest crypto cash cow for the Trumps.
It follows a familiar “pump-and-dump” pattern that delivered $1.1 billion for the family.

Jared Kushner & Trump's sons have raised $13 billion from foreign governments, mostly in the Middle East.
At the same time, Kushner serves as Special Envoy to the region, negotiating with the very countries with which he's financially conflicted.

The emoluments clause is supposed to prevent the President from receiving foreign bribes.
That hasn’t stopped Trump’s family from receiving about $13 billion in “investments” from foreign governments, especially in the Middle East.

Unemployment ticked down to 4.2% in June, but it fell for the wrong reason.
Labor force participation dropped to 61.5%, the lowest since 2021. People aren't finding jobs — they're quitting the job market all together.
Treasury lifted oil sanctions on Iran up front—before a final deal is even signed.
This waiver will deliver about $6 billion of bonus revenue to Iran over the 60-day negotiating window.
Plus another $30 billion per year thereafter if a deal is signed.

Iran isn’t the only adversary getting enriched by Trump’s foreign misadventures.
Trump’s Treasury waived Russian oil sanctions for ~98 days through June 17 – generating ~$22 billion in new income for its war machine to continue attacks on Ukraine.

The top 1% now hold as much wealth as the entire bottom 90% of Americans combined — about 32% each.
This is what runaway inequality looks like, according to the Fed's most recent data released this month.
