Musk and trump are gutting the government and YOUR services, national Parks and vital services like Weather and FAA safety to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Think about that. We get less so they can keep more. Then the tariffs and trade wars are and will hurt US even more.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Let’s be clear: our VA system needs to be bolstered, not hollowed out. Our veterans are mostly people from working class backgrounds who are promised that by joining the military, they will have benefits. There is no way cutting 80,000 employees will improve services.

Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. It’s a high-functioning, universal, and exceptionally efficient part of the American social safety net.

Extending the Trump tax cuts for the next 10 years would add roughly $4 trillion to the deficit. Remember this the next time Republicans try paying for them with cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court weakened the Clean Water Act's limitations on raw sewage discharge into our water. This will hurt the health of Americans, especially working class people from all backgrounds. Americans deserve clean water.

If you think Putin's agenda sounds similar to Trump's, there's a reason for that. Both are trying to distract from the economic looting by their respective oligarchies. Watch this video I put out just a few years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-nO8cBD79k

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny. Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.

The Social Security Administration is cutting 7,000 jobs and closing half of its regional offices. It's no coincidence that Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." They're gutting the program YOU'VE PAID INTO to make room for more billionaire tax cuts. Now is the time to speak up.
