To billionaires, recessions mean disappointing stock returns. To working families, they mean shuttered small businesses, layoffs, lost homes and telling a graduate that college is out of reach. Recessions erase the American dream for too many families. Now, Trump and his billionaire backers are driving us into a deep recession while Idaho’s top Republicans aid and abet the damage.

When Donald Trump ran for president, he promised to fight for working people and the forgotten. But today, the truth is undeniable: His regime has betrayed the people who put their faith in him. Through an overwhelming number of illegal executive orders and actions, the Trump regime is robbing funding that Congress enacted into law. While gutting essential services for regular families, it’s handing billions in tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. The cuts are already coming to Idaho.

May her legacy be an inspiration to those following in her giant footsteps. My condolences to all who knew her.
Jeanne Givens shattered ceilings, opened doors, and lit the way for so many to follow. The Idaho Democratic Party mourns the passing of the former State Representative, the first Native American woman elected to the Idaho Legislature and the first to run for Congress. https://t.co/2RW2O3mYvN
The Trump regime has done everything it can to bash Canada, including threatening its independence. Nevertheless, Americans can count on our friends to the north to look out for us when our own government doesn't care about keeping us alive.
