Americans are distraught, their soc safety net, NAT/FIN/personal security, access to disaster relief funds... have been decimated due to: #TrumpRegime.

#FEMA proposes🚨raising the threshold for states to qualify for public asst, effectively quadrupling: amount of damage a comm must suffer in order to receive fed aid +reduces share of recovery costs the fed govt will pay, limiting: types of FACs eligible for asst &🚨denying all major disaster DECLs for snowstorms.

CNN · Trump officials discuss making it much harder to qualify for federal disaster assistance, starting this hurricane seasonBy Gabe Cohen

Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr has come up with a new bus venture & it's only meant for the super-rich. And it will not be in FL but at stone's throw from the WH -- an invite-only members club in DC. To become a member, you need to have 2 things. Only💰won't suffice as the membership is limited only to invitation.

The club will cater to business & tech moguls looking to cozy up to the Trump admin.

This is #corruption on steroids.

The Times of IndiaDonald Trump Jr opens private, invite-only club for Washington's ultra-rich. Membership fee $500,000 per year - The Times of IndiaUS News: President Donald Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr has come up with a new business venture and it is only meant for the super-rich.

Trump’s admin has lined the WH driveway with posters featuring migrants’ mugshots as the Trump broadcasts his #immigration crackdown.

The WH lawn has been lined with mugshot-style posters bearing the faces of arrested illegal migrants: feature photos of the migrants +apparent crimes, & WH’s logo: at the bottom of each poster.

This is NK style propaganda; the #TrumpRegime is distracting from the crises it created: #tariffs, #lawlessness, #firings, #deportations...

“CBS News has obtained a list of 365 fed grant programs halted this week by the #DOJ, disrupting programs to help victims of hate crime & sex trafficking, children who've suffered violence, & refugees. The Dept also paused programs aimed at reducing school shootings, efforts to combat dom terror…”

The MSM normalizes the #TrumpRegime, as if destroying the nation’s moral fabric & social safety net won’t harm Americans, esp POC, children, IMMs, & women.

“Las Vegas is a complete ghost town.

Foreign boycott & domestic belt tightening.

The Europeans are just completely boycotting the US.

Tourism IDU going to get decimated.

When will Congress grow a pair limit the WH’s role in the global #economy?

How much worse does this need to get for Congress to find its spine?”

Unemployment⬆️bc of the #TrumpRegime’s #lawlessness, #tariffs, #immigration policies, #deportations to SLV, family separations, kidnappings off the streets…

Americans are aghast at how fast he’s destroyed the economy, national security, and their families’ finances, wellbeing, & futures:

“72% of Americans think Trump’s policies will cause a recession, acc to the latest Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

Only 39% approve of Trump on the economy
A mere 34% approve of Trump’s tariffs

53% say the economy has grown worse since Trump took office in Jan.”
-H Long

“Next 3.5 years going to be a f**king field day for scammers.”
-R Hakimian

“R lawmakers have proposed eliminating the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) & transferring its functions to the SEC. This #deregulation threatens crucial safeguards established after the Enron & WorldCom scandals...”

Let’s make sure Trump doesn’t make it through the year. He must be forced to resign or be impeached.

Some recently fired WKRs: uninsured.

"An ATTY recruited to the Comm Dept's CHIPS program in 2023, Waterfield had felt she was part of something monumental -that'd move the country forward: rebuilding America's semi IDU.

Instead, nearly 2 months after being fired in the Trump admin's purge -she's enmeshed in a bureaucratic mess over her #healthcare coverage. It's a mess that's left her fearing her entire family may now be uninsured."

"The VA invented physician assistants. They run a scholarship program for them. But they don't hire them in sufficient numbers,🚨often forcing PAs to give back their scholarship💰.

PAs could help with the #Veterans Admin’s staffing challenges. But though the VA pays for training scholarships, PAs have found it hard to get work there.

The #VA today remains the single largest employer of PAs in the US, ~1/3 of whom are vets.

The Justice Department told attorneys in its Consumer Protection Branch—which prosecutes elder fraud, servicemember fraud, opioid cases, & much more—that the branch would be disbanding in Sept.

Trump has also ordered weaker enforcement of retail investor protections for cryptocurrency assets at the DOJ & the SEC; the president & his family have stakes in digital asset companies and have issued their own meme coins.
