Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits. When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.

ALL of the Republicans are standing up and cheering for DOGE, Elon Musk, and Trump’s “policies.” Remember that when you’re unemployed and can’t afford your basic necessities because of Trump’s tariffs.

"a return of the 'corrupt process' that existed before the 1930s in which tariffs remain on the books and businesses try to curry favor (in this case, with Trump) to win exemptions..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I sure would like to know who has been buying the dips right before Trump announces he has changed his mind and reverses a tariff. Seems like valuable information in the markets to know when he announces a tariff and when he’s going to rescind it.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote. The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate. His approval ratings are tanking. He does not have a mandate. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful. He's not.

This whole riff on the ages of people on social security is IDENTICAL to the lies he's told about voter rolls and voting fraud.

The President is lying about Social Security as an excuse to gut Social Security after promising not to touch it. Why? To pave the way for more tax cuts for the rich.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

trump adviser says the veterans trump has fired from jobs in the U.S. government are "perhaps not fit to have a job" www.nbcnews.com/politics/rcn...

WOW. It is the official position of this regime that checks notes veterans are unfit to hold down jobs, so fuck them. Wow. Just. Wow.

After the most disastrous first month of any President in history, Trump will do everything he can to distract you tonight. He will try to convince you that culture war issues are important. None of these things lower gas prices, improve job numbers, or put food on the table. Don't take the bait.

“The people are what matter to government, and a government should aim to give all the people under its jurisdiction the best possible life.” Words from Frances Perkins, FDR's labor secretary and an architect of Social Security. Remember this as the program is under attack.

Would love potash, the most boring substance, to be the turning point in this U.S.-initiated trade war. Canada supplies 80% of it to the United States. A 25% tariff will ruin American farmers. Canada could also choose to block its export. It’s practically the spice melange…

Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza. Starving children is a war crime. UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”

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.

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets? We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?
