They have been funding and cheering on a genocide for nearly two years.

They are ok with working class Americans dying.

When Mr. Musk, the wealthiest man alive & major campaign contributor, expresses strong distaste for Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, Republicans will listen & obey. That means more cuts to Medicaid, nutrition & education.

Carpe Momentum: Empire Taxed: Trump's Budget is Burning Down the Dollar Section 899 isn’t policy, it’s a fiscal ultimatum that threatens U.S. credibility, global stability, and the working class. The world is walking away, and Washington lit the match.

Trump’s budget just lit a match under the dollar. Section 899 weaponizes tax law, alienates allies, and dares the world to walk away from U.S. debt. #China, #Japan, #Russia, gone. The empire isn’t being challenged. It’s self-destructing. #tariffs
