🚨Trump just fired Gen. CQ Brown and threatened more firings are coming. This isn’t strength—it’s the move of a weak, insecure tyrant. Gutting military leadership for loyalty tests puts US security at risk and sends a dangerous signal to our enemies. History will judge this—& those who stay silent.

Egg prices hit record highs this week. Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu. How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public. His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.

As a former trustee of Social Security, I'm worried the program is in danger of running dry. Why? As the rich have gotten richer, more of their income has escaped the cap on the SS payroll tax. We can fix this by scrapping the cap. Watch.

Trump’s chief of staff was a corporate lobbyist. His pick for transportation secretary lobbied for airlines. The richest person in the world and another billionaire will run a new department of “efficiency.” They’re telling us exactly who they will work for.
