#Trump called the announcement “our declaration of economic independence” & described it as one of the most important moments in American history.

Trump said his #tariff policies would generate “trillions and trillions of dollars to reduce our taxes & pay down our national debt.”

Again, the opposite is true according to most financial experts.

COONS: There are people on the Social Security rolls listed as having born 150 or 200 years ago. They are not receiving Social Security payments.

MacCALLUM: I don't think that's true.

COONS: Martha, I'm just repeating back to you what the Trump administration acting Social Security administrator said.

Gross. #Trump is calling his new #tariffs announcement event in the Rose Garden,“Make America Wealthy Again”

They will do the exact opposite.

If we tax billionaires out of existence we run the serious, inevitable risk of a healthy middle class & elections decided by voters, not fascist oligarchs.

Do we really want to give up 800 billionaires for universal healthcare, free college, & climate justice?

No Way.

I do not want your Gemini,
I do not want any AI.
I do not want it in my Chrome,
I do not want it in my home.
Not in my mail,
Even on sale,
Not in my app,
None of this crap.
I do not want it here or there,
I do not want it anywhere!

This is not a cabinet, they are simply bunch of consigliere to a mob boss. This is not an administration, it's simply a government mob of thugs.

“RFK Jr. promised radical transparency; he only got half of that right. This is radical." — Communications staff & workers in #HHS agencies' freedom of information offices among those fired on Tuesday.

Cynthia Williams:

My federal contacts tell me that Purchasing and Warehouse departments were eliminated today at the CDC, FDA, and NIH. What does that mean?

It means that even if scientists aren't fired or are reinstated, they won't have supplies to do their jobs. Starve the system. Then send everyone home.

😱🤬📢

Cory Booker's inspiring closing words after 25 hours holding the Senate floor ->

We need more people like #CoryBooker. He's amazing true leader of all the people.

It’s appropriate that the record for longest speech in Senate history by Strom Thurmond which was protesting against the Civil Rights Act has been broken by Cory Booker protesting to preserve the gains of the Civil Rights movement from a rapacious government.
