“Last night’s address was yet another distraction orchestrated by Donald Trump aimed to deflect, deny, and defend his egregious attack on young, working-class people across the country. Trump entered office with a promise to make our lives better, but instead of focusing on actually helping us, Trump, Elon Musk, and Republicans in Congress are only helping themselves. So far, all they have done is make a plan to cut taxes for billionaires and large corporations and pay for it by defunding Medicaid, gutting food assistance programs, and laying off thousands of federal employees who work in essential offices like the FAA and FDA.

“Republicans don’t care about us, they only care about handing huge new tax breaks to big corporations and their billionaire donors. They are attacking our families and our futures and we are determined to continue our work to educate and organize America’s young people for change.”
