Of course Trump, the narcissist in chief, doesn't think about the financial situation of Americans. To Trump, it doesn't matter that the working class is struggling economically. What matters to Trump is that his family got $4 billion richer since he was elected. That's it.

NOW is the time to end status quo politics, which benefit the billionaire class at the expense of working people. NOW is the time to demand fundamental changes in the way Congress does business. NOW is the time to think big, not small. When we stand together we CAN do it.

This is what the craziness in the White House is about. Trump’s budget includes: $1 billion for his White House ballroom. $1 billion in cuts to the National Park Service. We should be investing in the needs of the working class, not more of the President's vanity projects.

We’re paying $4.55 for a gallon of gas because Trump started a war with Iran based on a lie - just like the wars in Vietnam and Iraq. If we want to bring gas prices down below $3 a gallon we must demand that Trump ends this disastrous, unconstitutional and unprovoked war NOW.

Good news: Trump, who never lies, said he cut drug prices by 400-600%. Quick. Go to your pharmacy. Demand a 400, 500%, 600% reduction on your drug prices. Tell them Trump sent you. If that doesn’t work, tell Trump to support the bill I introduced to cut drug prices in half.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Trump: "We're getting drug prices down by 400, 500 percent. Or depending on the way you want to phrase the question, you could say 600 percent, and you could also say 80 percent, 70 percent, etc. It all depends on the way you phrase the question. I like the 500 better."

Massive wealth inequality is a global crisis. The world’s 3,000 billionaires got $2.5 trillion richer last year & now hold $18.3T. The 12 richest people own more wealth than the bottom half of humanity. Our goal: create a global economy that works for ALL, not just the few.

The Trump Administration says the war in Iran will cost $25 billion. That’s a lie. This war could cost over $1 trillion—thousands of dollars for every household in America. Invest in housing, education, and health care—not illegal and unconstitutional wars. END THIS WAR NOW.

The past three years were the hottest three years in recorded history. The past eleven years were the hottest eleven years in recorded history. Trump thinks climate change is a “hoax.” He is dangerously wrong. We must break our addiction to fossil fuels and save the planet.

During Teacher Appreciation Week, remember this: If we want the best-educated workforce in the world, we need great teachers. But we won’t attract great teachers when the average starting salary is just $48K a year. My Pay Teachers Act guarantees teachers at least $60K a year.

Trump and his family have now made $4 BILLION off the presidency, including more than $3 billion from crypto alone. Here’s a radical idea. What about having a president who wants to improve the financial well-being of ALL Americans, not just his own family and fellow oligarchs.

Maybe, just maybe, the Trump administration is beginning to face reality. After months of resisting all forms of regulation, they have finally acknowledged that out-of-control AI is a danger to humanity and must be regulated.

Diego Areas Munhoz@Dareasmunhoz

And here's what HASSETT told Bartiromo today about the coming EO: New models "should go through a process so that they’re released to the wild after they’ve been proven safe, just like an FDA drug.” Trump admin treating new AI models like FDA drugs def not on many bingo cards

We have more income and wealth inequality in America than ever before. Meanwhile, we rank 34th in the world in childhood poverty, 20% of our seniors live on $15,000 a year or less and 800,000 Americans are homeless. We need a fundamental change in our national priorities NOW.

Big Oil is making a $30 million windfall profit every HOUR by using the Iran War as an excuse to rip off commuters at the gas pump. This year, Exxon will be spending $20 billion of its profits on stock buybacks. We must end the Iran War and pass a windfall profits tax — NOW!

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

While the billionaires get much richer, 60% of working class Americans struggle to afford food or housing. Millions are losing healthcare. Yes. The very rich should start paying their fair share of taxes. That’s why I support the California Wealth Tax on billionaires.

This is what kleptocracy looks like: Last year, Meta gave Trump $25 million to settle a bogus lawsuit & $1 million for his inauguration. This year, Trump gave Meta an $8 billion tax break lowering its tax rate to -23% this quarter. That's a pretty good return on investment.
