Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

If you make $60,000/year, $36 of your taxes pays for SNAP while $700 of your taxes pays for corporate subsidies. Guess which one the Trump administration is going to cut off at the end of the week?

The CFPB is one of the most staunch financial watchdogs for the American people.
The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.
It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!

Just wanted to share this graphic from KFF, the green sliver in this pie chart indicates the amount of Medicaid Spending for Emergency Medicaid in 2023. It's (0.4%) of the total Medicaid budget. Undocumented immigrants sometimes receive Emergency Medicaid.
