In addition to the irrevocable loss of nearly 250 thousand Americans, the virus that's upended daily life in the United States has also presented insurmountable financial woes for families across the country.

Millions found themselves suddenly unemployed due to the pandemic as thousands of small businesses were forced to close for good. School closures stretched parental avenues for childcare thin and as recently as Monday, thousands were lined up in Texas for resources from a Dallas food bank.


With so many Americans struggling to stay afloat, President Donald Trump and his team act as though the pandemic is in the rear view mirror.

On Monday, the President's eldest daughter and senior advisor, Ivanka Trump, boasted to her millions of Twitter followers about the prosperity of the stock market.

While 55 percent of Americans own some sort of stocks, Forbes reports that only about 14 percent are directly invested in the market. The stock market is also in constant motion, rising and falling with each day, often for unknowable or unforeseeable reasons.

The Trump administration often points to Wall Street's gains as a means to boast about its economic record, but in the face of widespread economic devastation on Main Street, people didn't share the affluent Ivanka Trump's joy.

In fact, her celebration was widely criticized.






Some credited the victory of President-elect Joe Biden with the market's high, due to the assurance of stable leadership and a comprehensive response to this health and economic crisis.



Congress has yet to pass another pandemic stimulus bill.

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
