The Trump budget has passed in the House of Representatives: 💸$4.5 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1% + corporations 🪖more money for war + mass deportations 🚑$2 trillion in cuts to programs like Medicaid + food stamps This is a massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the uber-elite.

The Trump admin's whole ethos relies on self-victimization at the hands of their favorite catch-all boogeyman: “the media.” They've never held more power—over the country & the media landscape—but they're still too whiny/pathetic to present as anything but victims of their own imagined mistreatment:

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

He is on a warpath against USAID, and the cruelty it will unleash is going to be immense. USAID provides emergency aid after natural disasters, tries to improve child health and nutrition, promotes good governance, funds literacy programs and programs that empower women, works on food security, etc.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
