\u201cThere's a big disconnect between the corporate media and working people. Across America, people work 50-60 hours a week, can't afford child care, have no health care, and they turn on the TV and the media says 'everything is great!' because corporations are making record profits.\u201d— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1633386300
"When we talk about big money controlling this country, it's not only the direct political process but it's how we even learn about what's going on in this country."
--Sen. Bernie Sanders
\u201cMaybe, if youre lucky, expanded dental, vision and hearing coverage, universal pre-K, expanding Medicare, 2 years of free community college, will be brought up in paragraph 7. The framing is all about jockeying between political forces, no sense of the human impact on poverty\u201d— Adam H. Johnson (@Adam H. Johnson) 1633393933
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
