I’m sick and tired of the status quo in this country that puts corporate greed & billionaire profits over working people. In a country with a trillionaire, it’s a moral outrage that children go hungry, seniors can’t afford their medicine, and veterans sleep on the street.

"I'm furious about what's happening in this country. I'm pissed off about what's going on in Washington. As my colleagues have said, the rich are getting richer and everybody else is getting screwed, and that is unacceptable. Government is about uplifting people, about uplifting everyone, you know, and we see people losing their healthcare because they can't afford it. We see people can't afford their groceries because grocery bills are going up, gas bills are going up, everything is going up, you know, and the people who are getting the benefits are not you, not working families, not struggling families, but the rich and the powerful, the well-connected, the Mar-a-Lago class, the Epstein class, they're all getting the tax breaks. I mean, the new trillionaire in this country, I don't even think pays taxes, but you all do, and the bottom line is life is harder than it has ever been, and we have this reckless, illegal war in Iran, which is driving gas prices to the roof, and I don't even know how we're going to end it with this crazy man in the White House, but the bottom line is it is illegal and it is wrong, and if Congress had a backbone that stand up and then uphold the Constitution and demand that there be a vote, I would stop this."

Tax the rich now!</p>

I constantly hear about TikTok, about its enormous influence, & about how it's supposedly unfair. But there's one problem: I'm number one on TikTok. Can you believe it? Billions of people watch #Trump.
If TikTok has such a big influence, then why am I number one there?
And I say, "Stop communism."
