To be clear, there’s not a president in history that is added more to the federal deficit than Donald Trump. Where was this bozo when that was happening? He was rooting on Donald Trump and his incompetency during his first term… Now we see that he is owned and operated by the heritage foundation… Ridiculous.I miss the days when Republicans actually cared about their constituents, not just their campaign donors.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.
The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals?
$400 billion.
Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

As a result, they are forced to provide mental health counseling to veterans in open cubicles
It is an unethical and likely illegal practice. The point is to make the VA operate so poorly that veterans start demanding privatization.

The Veterans Administration is requiring therapists to return to the office full time, but does not have enough space for them

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?

But Trump and Musk have frozen that enforcement case.
The CFPB was going after the big banks behind Zelle for $1 billion in allegedly unchecked consumer fraud on the platform.
But Trump and Musk have frozen that enforcement case.
The CFPB was suing Walmart for allegedly forcibly opening deposit accounts for more than 1 million delivery drivers and charging them $10 million in junk fees.
But Trump and Musk have frozen that enforcement case.
Those are just three out of 38 pending
CFPB cases against big corporations that could put money back in the pockets of millions of Americans who've been scammed.
An attack on the CFPB is an attack on working people-and a gift to giant corporations that try to cheat them.

The CFPB was taking on Capital One for an alleged scheme cheating millions of consumers out of more than $2 billion in interest rates on savings accounts.

31.78% voted for Trump
30.84% voted for Harris
1.06% voted third party
36.33% did not vote
More Americans voted for someone other than Trump.
NOT a landslide.
NOT a mandate.
#MAGAwonbecauseofFoxFakeNews this guy totally lost me when he said that Elon Musk isn’t making money doing this… He’s billions of dollars wealthier for the work. He’s doing ripping apart our federal government.

Elon, Vance, and Trump came to D.C. to eliminate the deep state.
Only it turns out the deep state is the guy who cleans the toilets at your favorite national park, the dude watching the radar in air traffic control, and a meteorologist making sure your family gets the alert before a tornado hoovers up the homestead.

They handled the secure transport of nuclear materials — dangerous, demanding work that requires rigorous training. Four of them took the Trump administration’s offer of a buyout and left the National Nuclear Security Administration.
A half-dozen staff members left a unit in the agency that builds reactors for nuclear submarines.
And a biochemist and engineer who had recently joined the agency as head of the team that enforces safety and environmental standards at a Texas plant that assembles nuclear warheads was fired.
In the past six weeks, the agency, just one relatively small outpost in a federal work force that President Trump and his top adviser Elon Musk aim to drastically pare down, has lost a huge cadre of scientists, engineers, safety experts, project officers, accountants and lawyers — all in the midst of its most ambitious endeavors in a generation.
The nuclear agency, chronically understaffed but critically important, is the busiest it has been since the Cold War. It not only manages the nation’s 3,748 nuclear bombs and warheads, it is modernizing that arsenal — a $20-billion-a-year effort that will arm a new fleet of nuclear submarines, bomber jets and land-based missiles. We are screwed now. Seriously. Elon, Vance, and Trump came to D.C. to eliminate the deep state.
Only it turns out the deep state is the guy who cleans the toilets at your favorite national park, the dude watching the radar in air traffic control, and a meteorologist making sure your family gets the alert before a tornado hoovers up the homestead or keep our nuclear arsenal safe…his administration is anti-American and dangerous.

This guy is just an apologist for the wealthy… Do you know when Elon Musk met his Social Security payment cap for 2025? 12:15 AM on January 1. Tax the Rich. Tax the Rich, make the Rich pay their fair share. Every week I see my Social Security payments get sucked out of my paymentand Elon Musk makes more in his sleep… How is that fair? Well, if he’s buying Donald Trump the presidency, that’s what makes it “fair” according to today’s Republicans. I miss the days when Republicans used to be for Americans, not just the wealthy.

Trump's EPA announced it would repeal 31 cornerstone environmental protections. These regulations keep pollution out of our air and water, fight climate change, and protect precious ecosystems. If this decision stands, it will cause thousands of Americans to die each year and speed up disastrous climate change.
If you have a moment, read on to learn why these actions are so devastating and what we can do about it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Why is this happening? Corporate polluters and billionaires paid big money to get Trump elected. Now, they're getting what they paid for. These actions are betraying the American people, offering up our climate, health, and future to the highest bidder.
🚨 What is at stake?
Trump is trying to destroy the progress of the past four years, taking us back to smoggier skies and mercury-polluted water, all while abandoning EPA’s mission to protect public health and environment.
Among the dangerous rollbacks is the plan to eliminate the landmark "endangerment finding," which determined that greenhouse gases heating up the planet threaten public health and welfare. This comes from a 2007 Supreme Court decision on a case brought by Sierra Club, partner environmental organizations, a dozen states, and cities, establishing the EPA's obligation to limit climate pollution.
Yes, you read that right — As climate-fueled wildfires and hurricanes devastate more and more of our communities, Trump is declaring that climate change is not a danger.
The science is clear: if we don't safeguard our communities from climate pollution, the effects will only get worse. Many thousands of people will die, ecosystems will be destroyed, and the very future of life on this planet will be at risk.

Red states have been disproportionately impacted by retaliatory tariffs. That, plus cuts to FEMA and NOAA, means red states will have millions less in funding for natural disasters. FAFO. No sympathy at all…let them eat cake.

@BPH237 March 21, 2025 - 2:16 am

This needs to be shared around. The media needs to get their crap together

I'll sue the government for my SS money I've paid in plus interest.

@MakenaN-cq6ub March 21, 2025 - 2:16 am

It's too bad that the American people don't pay attention to these hearings. They only listen to the mainstream media and absorb the lies they're told. I've always told people you need to watch your government in action, or your government's inaction. Just sayin'…

@louiselevine3028 March 21, 2025 - 2:16 am

No…WE don’t owe anything. We have been paying and paying. Take it out of Biden’s, Obamas, Clinton’s pockets. They started this crap

@19htd60 March 21, 2025 - 2:16 am

And the Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to keep the spending up.

Whatever democrats say, know they mean the opposite.

@matthew-e7j6n March 21, 2025 - 2:16 am

It's hard to believe they want to balance the budget when they are also pushing for more tax cuts. If we want to balance the budget we need to reduce spending and increase revenue (taxes). I know that is not a popular idea, but it is just how the math works out.

@TrueHelpTV March 21, 2025 - 2:16 am

Notice the theme in the comments
JAIL PEOPLE – Not because you "feel" upset, but because the FBI admits Killary Kklinton fabricated the "Russian Hoax" and weaponized politics in a tyranical fashion, and nothing happened to her.. Because Jeffrey Epstein did not off himself, and years later we still don't know who helped him, only that it was mostly politicians and billionaires. Because the FBI admitted they had agents on Jan 6th trying to incite riots, and literally one of the "most wanted" turned out to be a Federal Agent.. Need I continue? COVID

@Bending-mp9kq March 21, 2025 - 2:16 am

Part of dismantling this scam means we need to get our money back from these thieves.

@ineedavaykation4016 March 21, 2025 - 2:16 am

He thought he ate and left no crumbs with a mic drop making his point 😂🤣 The Clinton administration successfully achieved their goals, left a $400B surplus in 2001, and made social security solvent for years to come by removing the top 1% earner's tax caps, alternatively significantly raising taxes on the wealthy top earners, and lowering taxes for the 99% of those of us who aren't rich; when should us poor, 99-percenter schlups expect our tax reductions and increased taxes on the top earners?

I'll wait 🤔 😏

Never fails ,they tell you they are going to downsize the government, then do the exact opposite and grow it into a behemoth monster that has a ferocious appetite for money and power.

@tracylove2988 March 21, 2025 - 2:16 am

We’re not idiots….ALL of you have known what you were doing for years! It should never have gotten to this point.

We already paid the taxes. Congress owes all that money not the people. Wasteful spending by them not us.

Absolutely rock star video —- the smart Dems are on board, the dumb ones are just hanging on as victims.

@aroshaperera8750 March 21, 2025 - 2:16 am

Hear me out, This is the problem

The Government is the gatekeeper of tax revenue.

MP’s/Senators find innovative ways to redirect this capital in to private pockets.

Eg. Republicans and Democrats burnt $ 300 million of taxpayer money a day for 20 years on the Afghan war! That public money straight in to private contractor pockets. US is spending $ 90 Billion a day on Ukraine while GAZA costs $83.8 million per day.

This causes a short fall in Social Spending for Health/Education etc.

Which causes deficits in the Budget. Which causes the Government to borrow from Financial Systems at higher and higher interest rates. (Ironically the people that took the capital out of the system, tend to be the same people that lend to the system, creating a positive feedback loop of capital!)

Which causes the Government to inflate taxes to payback these loans.

Which results in a loss of buying power of the citizens. Which results in a wealth transfer from the citizens who must fund the corruption.

Which makes them justifiably angry. Which in turn has created radicalised Left and Right politics.

This system is very beneficial to Oligarchs, Plutocrats, Corrupt Politicians and Financial Systems (who essentially fund the system) in general.

As a result Politicians and Economist will make the argument that the issue is, in fact, in government spending and that we need to privatise everything and open everything to market mechanics.

Which ironically further benefits the Oligarchs, Plutocrats, Corrupt Politicians, who sweep in with shite deals for the citizenry.

As a result in the US 60% total wealth is owned by the top 10 percent of earners. In comparison, the lowest 50 percent of earners only owned 2.5 percent of the total wealth. Three people own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the country!

This is happening worldwide. As oligarchs infiltrate global financial systems to game them, Neo Liberal Economics just adds fuel to the fire.

Run though this system over a period of time and you will radicalise the citizenry. That’s how people end up electing Geert Wilders, Jair Bolsonaro, Trump/Biden or Boris Johnson/Stammer.

These guys will redirect the citizenry’s frustration towards false arguments such as government oversight, Immigration and minorities, Social Spending, climate sensitivity, being the problem for economic growth.

Its ironic that the richest guy in the world is making an argument that Social security is unaffordable. Meanwhile the same guy wants to blow billions on a Mission to Mars!

This is a global phenomenon brought on by the universal application of Neo Lib Capitalism.

The US is a captured state and Trump, the Republicans and the Democrats and all going to keep plundering and billing the people.

You need a populist movement, where politicians work for the interests of the people rather than the Elites and oligarchs, right now the people you have for that are Bannon, Sanders and AOC.

@bradallenfisher March 21, 2025 - 2:16 am

The difference in that old video and what’s happening now is words vs actions. Back then politicians spewed a ton of promises just to keep people happy. They knew they had time. Now there is no time
