That's right - we should cut government waste. But we're seeing Trump and Musk's plan in action: pausing federal funds that rip school lunch away from preschoolers and end Meals on Wheels for seniors. That's not efficiency, it's cruelty. I have better ideas. www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans. Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

Hegseth told the Senate he’d protect the inspector general’s independence. But after Trump illegally fired the IG, he’s weaponizing government investigations to go after Gen. Milley. It’s a warning sign that Hegseth’s focused more on political retribution than national security.

Chair Powell is putting jobs at risk and making it more difficult for you to afford a home or pay your credit card bill. The Fed needs to cut interest rates. President Trump needs to act to lower costs – not shut down programs that help families, seniors, and veterans.

I have never seen anyone flip as quickly as Robert F. Kennedy did on the question of whether a woman has the right to control her own body.

How much will it cost to house and guard 30,000 people in Cuba? A lot more than letting them stay in America where they'll work and pay taxes. This isn't about immigrants being a financial drain on the US economy. It's about racism. Pure and simple.

No money for meals on wheels, head start, student grants, Medicare etc. But billions of dollars to build a detention center in Cuba - no problem! Can’t believe I live amongst people who have these values. Such great Christians.

So his plan is to use a concentration camp to provoke a standoff with Cuba, then.

To be clear, the concentration camps in World War II were not widely known or acknowledged. The Allies discovered and liberated them after the war. Camps are being erected in America and Cuba as we speak.

With the terrible tragedy over the skies of D.C., it’s time to prioritize safety. Trump must end the hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and restore the aviation safety advisory committee he dismantled on Jan 22.

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation. The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ? Suggestions ?

Right now, in America, 22 million workers make less than $15/hr. 40 million make less than $17/hr. Shamefully, the federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 and remains at $7.25/hr. I asked Trump's nominee for Treasury if we should raise it. His response? "No sir."

Never joined Meta, but friends still send me Insta reels I can’t watch. Makes me wonder: how hard will Instagram tank when folks can’t download/crop TikToks to upload as reels after next week? Guess originality’s about to be really tested.

The Internet is so good for stuff like mutual aid and keep people informed amid crisis. Like, when I feel despair--and these days I often do--it's a small encouragement to be reminded that when we are proximal to suffering, we are capable of extraordinary generosity.

OK, but can you tell us what you would do with all that tax money? If we’re just gonna use it to fund more wars and give more corp tax breaks, maybe we shouldn’t bother collecting it.

Meta now allows women to be called ‘property’ and LGBTQ+ folks labeled ‘mentally ill.’ Watching people justify staying on Meta —‘It’s just where everyone is!’—is wild. At what point do convenience and connection outweigh complicity in a system harming the most vulnerable? Asking for humanity.

Here's a radical idea: Healthcare for Taxpayers. If you work and pay taxes in the United States, you and your family shouldn't have to worry about a medically induced bankruptcy because your health insurance company denied your claim for healthcare. Thoughts?
