17 million people just lost health care. 18 million kids just lost school meals. 3 million Americans just lost food assistance. And $3.5 trillion was added to the deficit. All for a tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donors. The ultimate betrayal.

Donald Trump has proposed a 2026 budget. Over 75% is for law enforcement and the military.

At a time of massive inequality, Trump’s budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty.

It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon.

That is morally…
