American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high. Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy â but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance. Nothing trickles down to workers.

Medicaid only saves money from cuts by cutting off health care from people who NEED and are USING it. Perhaps Steve Scalise is confused and thinking it's like his salary, which taxpayers pay every month regardless of whether he earned it.

Trump's Department of Justice serves three purposes: Declare that whatever Trump wants to do is legal. Dispense favors on Trump's political allies. Investigate and punish Trump's political opponents. It is a dangerous three tiered system of justice that is leading our country down a dark road.
