People Who Work

Two years ago, Trump went to McDonald’s and promised to lower costs. Now, a Big Mac costs $5.79 and prices on everything else like groceries, gas, rent and utilities have skyrocketed.

Workers are sick and tired of President Trump and his allies in Congress making life more expensive for us while making billionaires even richer. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/poll-americans-anxious-pessimistic-deeply-unhappy-trump-ahead-midterms-rcna603064

Working people are facing skyrocketing prices on everything and struggling to make ends meet. But don't worry - the President is laser-focused on demolishing and building a new DC golf course he’ll probably name after himself. We need elected leaders who put working people first.

They can’t even fix the reflecting pool without failing in 85 different places and they were expected to make the government more “efficient?” https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2026/10/14/reflecting-pool-liner-failed-more-places-than-previously-reported-inspection-found/

DOGE’s budget cuts worked out great for the people making them. They turned destroying federal workers’ careers into a résumé builder and now their businesses have raised at over $500 million.

Elon Musk has poured $276 million into the midterms since July. He never wanted to actually cut government spending, he just wanted more contracts and tax cuts for himself. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/us/politics/elon-musk-midterms.html

It isn't avocado toast, Ashley Hinson. Workers have survived economic crisis after economic crisis where billionaires ended up even richer while everyone else got left behind.

We actually don’t need any more surprises from the guy who wrote Project 2025. Working people would be much better off if Russell Vought stayed far away from us. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-vows-big-surprises-with-project-2025-author-before-midterms-12533986

FICO is laying off hundreds of workers, which should do wonders for their credit scores. https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/fico-cuts-workforce-by-15-ai-driven-restructuring-2026-10-06/

Trump’s economy is booming. Just ask anyone on their 80th job application.

“Big surprises” from Russell Vought is a literal threat. https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-gives-ominous-warning-about-project-2025-goons-next-job

Trump ran on lowering your grocery bill and can’t figure out why you’re pissed he didn’t. https://apnews.com/article/trump-economy-approval-trump-midterms-8d5809758a31b29c73f4351a8008147c

Yeah, the thing we’re really worried about these days is (checks notes) Richard Nixon?

Remember all the tech bro billionaires at Trump’s inauguration? He had them all at the White House yesterday. Again. He’s on their side, not working people. This is why we need AI guardrails.

As Elon proved with DOGE, anything that he has his hands in is bound to help line his pockets and hurt working people across the country. https://mashable.com/tech/trump-admin-launches-america-gov-ai-chatbot

What’s in this Elon Musk documentary that four social media platforms got nervous about showing us the trailer? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/youtube-meta-musk-trailer-ad-1236712540/

Trump promised to fix the cost of living crisis but instead we’ve got a “can I trust the food I just paid too much for?” crisis. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/pasta-sold-nationwide-at-walmart-recalled-over-possible-listeria-contamination/3992131/

The Trump admin is ripping even MORE people from their health care. Everything is already too expensive and taking away health care from hundreds of thousands more will only make workers’ lives harder. https://newrepublic.com/post/215713/jd-vance-health-care-obamacare-one-million-fraud

Working people need a government that works for them and focuses on lowering costs, not making billionaires and CEOs even richer.

Working people are sick and tired of having to hope and pray that they’ll be able to pay for rent, utilities and groceries—while billionaires and CEOs are making record pay and bonuses. Enough is enough.

We wouldn’t consider it “managing his agency competently” when there are consistent outbreaks of preventable diseases and groceries that can make us sick or kill us, but idk maybe we just set expectations too high for RFK Jr.

Elon Musk and DOGE put federal workers in an impossible position. If they stood up for our essential services, they risked their jobs, and they could be forced out anyway. This… doesn’t seem like eliminating waste OR helping government efficiency.

Cutting FEMA’s workforce in half was always a disastrous idea. It’s a major win for everyone that this destructive plan was stopped in court.

Ah yeah, THIS will help calm workers’ fears of AI taking their jobs and invading their privacy and destroying their rights.

Making up another BS name can’t hide the law that gutted our health care to give tax breaks to the Trump admin’s billionaire friends.

Crooked politicians know that controlling the story of our past helps them control our future. Secretary Lonnie Bunch’s departure comes after a year of attacks from an administration determined to rewrite American history.

Trump is focused on anything BUT helping working people.

They couldn’t even use a photo of an American worker for LABOR DAY.

Whether he’s making his own memecoins or literal U.S. currency (with a markup price!!) President Trump is not focused on helping working people with their finances. He’s only worried about his own.

More than 17,000 people have gotten sick in a record-breaking foodborne illness outbreak. This is what gutting public health looks like. https://stateline.org/2026/08/31/a-summer-of-recalls-exposes-holes-in-the-nations-food-safety-net/

Trump’s pre-Labor Day message to working families already struggling to make ends meet: “you should be working more, actually.”

Trump has appointed 57 people worth at least $100 million to his administration. That’s more than four times the combined total under Bush, Obama and Biden.

Elon is getting ready to spend a fortune on the midterm elections this year to protect his money and his tax breaks so he can get even richer. Working people are ready to stand up, vote and fight back!

The Reflecting Pool this morning, after spending nearly $15 million to not actually fix it (should have hired union workers!). Now, they have to spend millions more to fix it… again. Efficient!

Don't you have ANYTHING more important to do to help people who work for a living?

Trump fired the federal watchdogs who stopped waste, fraud, abuse and misconduct in federal agencies and replaced them with political loyalists — and our essential services and the workers who rely on them have suffered since.

What CAN we eat at this point? Lettuce causes diarrhea, we have screwworms in our meat, blueberries can kill you — and Trump’s economy has made it so we can’t even afford the groceries that can kill us!

Elon made a joke about a meme dog in 2024 and now none of us know what the weather is going to be like when we go to work or come home. DOGE made every day life more inconvenient. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/doge-noaa-weather-usa-b3035937.html

Instead of looking at the information with an open mind, the Trump admin is just deleting or editing government data that they don’t agree with. It helps nobody when we have to work on bad data.

Gutting NOAA and the National Weather Service is screwing America’s fishermen and farmers… and just about everyone else too.

Despite Trump tearing down policies to protect working people from discrimination and harassment and insisting they were bad for business, companies that kept their diversity policies thrived.

Gutting the IRS alone is projected to cost us $600 billion in lost revenue from making sure wealthy tax cheats pay their taxes over the next decade. Hell of a way to save money.

Trump cut 5,800+ Forest Service jobs. Now, wildfires are raging and there aren’t enough workers where they’re needed. This is a catastrophe.

The government agency that is supposed to help Americans during emergencies and in their most dire time of need was being led by a “shadow administrator” paid by a company owned by a member of DOGE. Concerning!

Nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like half a billion dollars in parked planes. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/us/politics/homeland-security-parked-airplanes.html

This is the real, everyday cost of gutting the government. You cut staff at programs like the National Weather Service, and people can end up paying with their lives. https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/12/weather/nws-warning-glitch-outage

Trump’s administration screwed up the Reflecting Pool and was willing to throw an Olympian in jail rather than own up to its incompetence. Next time, just hire union workers to get the job done right the first time.

DOGE gutted the federal workforce and created chaos in the essential services millions of Americans rely on. Now we’re left picking through the wreckage while the people responsible lie about the damage they caused.

A year ago today, in an insane abuse of power and disgusting waste of resources, Trump deployed the National Guard on D.C. A political stunt that has cost taxpayers millions and used our nation’s capital as a backdrop for attacks on workers’ freedoms.

In a new report, the Government Accountability Office has revealed that DOGE lied about their cuts. What were they hiding?
