Cuts to Social Security benefits mean less money to local economies: most seniors spend all of their benefits on food, housing, medicine, and transportation. They buy locally. Without the benefits, many recipients will not survive. Benefits that they paid for their whole lives.

For those who still believe Russian propaganda: #Zelensky had already offered Putin negotiations On February 25, 2022—just one day after #Russia launched its full-scale invasion—Zelensky publicly called on Putin to negotiate, hoping to stop the bloodshed. The response? Silence.

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

The Republican budget plan is simple: billionaires win, families lose. Republicans say it's about border security, but it's not. They want to rip away support for working Americans, gut critical programs like Medicaid, and balloon the deficit.
