A recent survey shows zero (0) countries agree with this claim.

One of the major differences between Trump's first and second term is how much in his second term his policies are hurting working class people directly.

Trump: We have deadhead fed hair

.@SenatorWarnock: "Workers are seeing that they're creating wealth for others, yet they are barely able to get by working every single day.”

[Derek Martin @dmartkc]

Trump and his family have made $1.8 Billion since taking office, so I'm sure they do think things are going swimmingly...

At 10 AM @SpeakerJohnson and @SBA_Kelly will be holding a press conference laying out the impact of the government shutdown on small business.

A thread (🧵) about how @realDonaldTrump, @russvought and their henchmen have gutted the SBA:

[American Progress @amprog]

The evidence is clear: Donald Trump's politically-motivated Justice Department is LYING to federal judges. That changes the way our courts work. Read more: https://t.co/FC5PgYHRmD

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Donald Trump was President of the United States of America on January 6th, 2021.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end Citizens United by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

[Colin Seeberger @CMSeeberger]

Whoever in the Speaker’s office thought this appearance was a good idea, bless your heart.

Another absolutely brutal media hit for Johnson.

[CAP Energy Policy @CAPenergypolicy]

The Trump administration is making it easier for oil and gas companies to get away with corruption and fraud–and wasting taxpayer dollars while they’re at it. Read more ➡️ https://t.co/HQU4rBDaZb

Think dark money in politics is unstoppable? Think again. CAP's @thmoore explains how states have the power to make Citizens United irrelevant: https://t.co/edyVnxCtAl

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

This aged well.

[American Progress @amprog]

Intimidating companies and demanding they pay millions of dollars to avoid government retaliation is not normal. We shouldn’t accept the office of the presidency being leveraged as a weapon against the media. @senadamschiff explains:

[American Progress @amprog]

.@SenAdamSchiff is right. What we’re seeing take place across the country–families ripped apart, communities divided, racial profiling greenlit by judges–is not who we should strive to be as a nation.

don't trust people who are against button-down collars

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump's policies are hurting everyone except for the richest 1%.

"New Golden Age" for whom?

[American Progress @amprog]

Disagreement, even strong disagreement, is a vital part of a thriving democracy. Violence is not. It is incumbent on all of us to vehemently reject the rising tide of political violence at every level.

[Jamie Perez @jamiegp]

I strongly endorse this post

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

people got mad when i said men look bad in these shirts, regardless of build, but i'm right. if you're forced to wear one, you at least need a tailored jacket to make it look halfway good. but even then, you are always better off wearing something else.
