Europe and Ukraine need to exclude the US from any negotiations about Ukraine's future. The US under Trump is simply a Putin friend & an enemy of Ukraine, Europe and democracy.

House Republicans have released their proposed budget. It’s as bad as I imagined. It puts a giant bullseye on health care coverage, while giving at least $4 TRILLION in tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. The American people need to know the stakes—and how Democrats are pushing back.

Are our banking institutions safe? Is our money safe? Investments? Property? My daughter's college fund safe? What is stopping Musk form redistributing wealth in whatever way Trump wants? Maybe blue dollars to red dollars? They know who we donated to and who we voted for. They know our SSN.

Firing thousands of federal employees opens up the opportunity to create a workforce where the only criterion for being hired is your loyalty to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It's not about efficiency.
