A MESSAGE TO TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT

Trumps Tax Man

A MESSAGE TO TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT

The night before Tax Day, Our Revolution activists paid a visit to the Tax Man: Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

We showed up at his $20 million dollar mansion in DC and lit up a project calling to Defund Oligarchs. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.

Trump put a literal oligarch in charge of the IRS and he’s on a mission to deliver MASSIVE tax cuts to his fellow billionaires — paid for by us of course and cuts to programs millions of us rely on.

 

Here are just a few facts about Bessent:

Called concerns about oligarchy “class envy” during his confirmation hearing.

🙅‍ Opposes raising the federal minimum wage, claiming it would “distort markets.”

Protects power and pushes for fewer corporate regulations, giving billionaires even more unchecked influence.

Our Mission in this moment: #DefundOligarchy

MUSK SPENT $290 MILLION TO ELECT TRUMP. RETURN ON INVESTMENT? 100s OF BILLIONS.

Elon Musk’s $290 Million Investment in Trump Is Already Paying Off — Big Time

In the lead-up to the 2024 election, Elon Musk funneled $290 million to help re-elect Trump. So far, Musk has reaped at least $117 billion in personal financial gains — a staggering return on investment of 40,300%. And he could see hundreds of billions in return from federal contracts, tax breaks, deregulation, and more from Trump.

In Fort Worth, we’re putting our support behind Chris Nettles in his run for re-election to City Council in District 8.

Chris understands that local government must meet the needs of Fort Worth’s growing population — working to  expand public transportation, increase affordable housing, and grow the number of good-paying jobs.

He’s also developed a 3-step plan to help the houseless population, providing direct resources for health, skills training, and support for long-term stability.

DEFENDING THE US POSTAL SERVICE

By Uncategorized

Our Revolution recently joined with the American Postal Workers Union to organize a powerful grassroots Day of Action against privatization threats and attacks on collective bargaining.  

From big cities like New York to small-towns in Iowa, thousands chanted “The U.S. Mail Is Not for Sale” and vowed to oppose plans by the Trump regime to dismantle the USPS.  

As Mark Dimondstein, President of the APWU, told Our Revolution members at a recent virtual town hall, “Privatization is a mathematical equation—shifting public money to Wall Street investors for maximum profit, not service,” Dimondstein said. 

“The administration’s corporate coup is hollowing out essential services, paving the way for billionaires to cash in while degrading workers’ rights.”

Hands Off April 5th Events

Rising anger among Democrats fuels talk of Tea Party-style backlash "People are tired of money in politics. This is one way to show people power is stronger than money power." - Paco Fabián, Our Revolution

Trump and Musk’s power grab must be stopped. That’s why Our Revolution is joining hundreds of thousands of people across the country TODAY to tell the Oligarchs, “Hands Off!”

We demand an end to the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump regime, and an end to slashing Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs we rely on.

With more than 1000 actions nationwide, this is the largest mass protest since Jan. 20, and we will speak with one voice.
