Working class Americans live 6 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Doctors believe economic stress is a major factor in that disparity.
I asked Americans to describe how stress impacts their lives & well-being. The responses were heartbreaking.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Republicans aren’t hiding anything. Their priorities are written in black and white: trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the rich, while making savage cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition and education. The reconciliation bill will make the rich even richer and the poor poorer.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.
You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.
Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

It's not possible for Hegseth to "walk back" on ruling out Ukrainian NATO membership & US forces in Ukraine, as some claim he did today.
Points of leverage are only useful if Putin thinks they're credible. Hegseth recklessly admittedly they're not.
Trump Administration are incompetent negotiators.

Extending the 2017 tax cuts and spending more on border security and defense would be paid for by cutting other programs.
