Even Trump’s biggest fans are saying it loud and clear: the economy doesn’t feel good. While stocks may rise up, skyrocketing prices for groceries, gas, and rent make everyday life unaffordable. Trump continues to prioritize billionaires while leaving hard-working families to fend for themselves.

Trump’s ICE agents aren’t targeting “the worst of the worst.” They’re detaining legal residents and even U.S. citizens. All while masked and violating due process - just straight up abusing power. Let’s call it what it is: government-sanctioned kidnapping.
