Editor:
Someone sent me a notice of a protest gathering at the courthouse at noon on April 5. If one (or a dozen) of the following Trump Administration issues (read that DOGE and billionaire cabinet) has impacted you or loved ones or just concerns you, you might want to see what’s going on Saturday noon (“Trickle Down,” March 20). I’m not going to try to fully describe each one because it changes by the day! Firings/layoffs, if allowed to stand, could pass 100,000 (“‘It’s Just Chaos,'” Feb. 27). Challenged as illegal, the courts have reversed many, at least temporarily. The fallout will reverberate throughout our whole economy as unemployed workers can’t pay their rent, mortgages, insurance, buy a car, gas or “eggs” or support local businesses.
We get reduced services and a tariff war.
Pick an issue and come on down: Social Security, Medicare, MediCal, homeland security, FEMA, NOAA, USAID, CFPB, DHHS, CDC, USPS, National Parks, public lands, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Education, NPR, PBS, Voice of America, national security, NATO, undermining our democracy and lots more.
