So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

Yep. Because it hurts to be a decent person in standard America but at least you could make incremental change that gave you some hope. This feels like trying to stop a tsunami with a dollar store pail. Not giving up, but it's hard.

It isn't just Trump or Musk. They can't do this alone. It's Republicans. All of them. Until they stop this, they are doing it and we can't let them forget it.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

"The Trump administration and Ukraine must both be struck by the parallels to a previous Trump peace agreement in which another inexperienced secretary of state made a deal with a more seasoned enemy to end a war without any American allies in the room."
