Trump has built the most racially and gender-exclusive administration in modern U.S. history: 84% male and 90% white. While saddening, it's NOT shocking. This is the result of an administration undermining racial equity and committed to rolling back DEI at every level.

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…” Wanting to address this isn’t radical. NOT wanting to is.

Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion.

Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

Given what’s happening with health insurance companies increasing premiums to provide crappy coverage across the board….its a matter of time before we get Medicare for All. The health insurance companies will do this to themselves. And I think we will all feel smug when it happens.
