On the same day he moved to rip health care away from 14M Americans, Trump’s wining and dining his corrupt crypto company’s 220 biggest investors.
He’s selling the Office of the Presidency to line his pockets.
This is pay-for-play corruption.
Per usual, the GOP sits silent.

Early this morning, House Republicans passed Trump's "big, beautiful" budget bill to kick millions of Americans off Medicaid and fund tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations - but not before they snuck in even more changes that will make life harder for the most vulnerable Americans. Cutting health care and food stamps is wrong.
But that isn't the last word: now the bill heads to the Senate. Our nation is at its best when we stand up for those in need and for what is right. It’s time to remind our Senators why Americans are against this cruelty, and demand they do better.

The original sin was failing to send Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his life for mounting a violent coup to overthrow the election of 2020.

"If you're in the top 20%, you're gonna get 3.7% increase in after tax income from tax cuts. If you're in the bottom, you lose $800. You get a small tax cut and and a large cut in Medicaid and other benefits."

🔥 WATCH: “They won’t even read their own bill!”
@RepTeresaLF (D) shames @RepJasonSmith (R) for refusing to read a part of the Republican bill that gives a tax break for TANNING BEDS while slashing trillions in health care for seniors and the poor. 🤔 #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

It is an absolute necessity that Tulsi Gabbard & other top-level appointees have a full FBI background investigation. This isn’t discriminatory against Tulsi Gabbard; everyone should have a full background check, especially the nominee for Director of National Intelligence.

I’ve been in politics for over 50 years now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

With less than three weeks to Election Day, will you help boost our support of our Fight Like Hell PAC U.S. Senate endorsees? Losing any one of these races would allow Republicans to retake the majority and pursue an extreme agenda, like a national abortion ban.

I spoke at the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts about #DragonflyDreamsbook. Since we were in Annie Houston's collection of beautiful objects I focused on 4 objects in my story that had significance, like the Monkey King bronze sculpture. Great fun. #BookTwitter #indie
