The next time someone says we’re “sending money to Ukraine” think of this photo. Most of those billions stay right in the US and Ukrainians get the weapons to defend themselves.

A year ago, Russia deliberately dropped a bomb on the Drama Theater in Mariupol. Next to it was the inscription "Children", which was impossible to overlook. Hundreds of people were hiding there. We are working to hold the terrorist state to account for what it has done.

At the same time, families in the bottom 50% saw their share drop from 4% to 2%.
When I say trickle-down economics is a hoax, this is what I mean.
