We’re talking student loan garnishments, attacks on people with disabilities, billionaires getting tax breaks while everyone else gets the boot, and Trump making money off digital coins like it’s Monopoly.💸 Who’s getting richer?⚠️ Who’s getting left behind?🧾 And why are people calling this bill “beautiful” when it’s giving “let them eat crypto”?
