Zelensky leads a nation fighting for liberty. Trump embodies the real authoritarian threat, undermining democracy and seeking unchecked power. The true dictator is the one who tried to overturn the people’s will.

If Putin is allowed to keep any part of Ukraine no nation is safe. Putin has a history of halting fighting and using the time to regroup and attack again later. He can not be trusted.

The GOP’s plan would gut Medicaid—kicking people off with lifetime caps, slashing funding, forcing impossible work rules, and shifting costs to struggling states. Millions will suffer, from seniors to families to people with disabilities. Hands off my Medicaid!
