Elon Musk and Trump’s DOGE was actually one of the most inefficient and dishonest efforts of all time. They produced negligible savings at ENORMOUS cost to human lives and our national security.

Here are the numbers:

Our veterans — who’ve put their lives on the line for us — deserve the dignity of making their own health care decisions without the government’s say-so.
Department of Veterans Affairs quietly implements abortion ban
A VA spokesperson confirmed to MS NOW that the ban was in place following a Department of Justice memo issued last week.

The American people aren’t buying this. “Affordability” can’t be a “con job” one minute and then a reality the next. Costs are out of control and Donald Trump is in charge. He’s to blame.

Trans kids deserve access to life-saving health care and doctors deserve to provide care without being policed by the Trump Administration.

The unemployment rate is at a 4-year high. American families paid $1,200 extra this year because of Donald Trump’s tariffs. Over 75% of homes in America are unaffordable.

The U.S. shouldn’t go to war with Venezuela – or with anyone – without thorough debate, deliberation, and explicit congressional authorization. These decisions have deep consequences for our service members and the communities abroad whose homes, families, and futures are upended.

All the evidence and anecdotes point to the same reality: Trump’s trade wars and tariffs are coming at the cost of American farmers and American consumers.

President Trump isn’t lowering your costs – he’s raising them and making life unaffordable.

Cutting 35,000 jobs at the VA won’t improve the quality or efficiency of health care for veterans – but it will worsen existing problems. This is the fundamentally wrong approach to delivering the best possible care to our veterans.

Strains on the Veterans Affairs system could grow with the elimination of as many as 35,000 mostly unfilled health care positions, including doctors and nurses.

The Trump Administration is cancelling naturalization interviews and oath ceremonies at the last minute to delay people from becoming U.S. citizens. We should be expanding and reforming legal pathways to citizenship – not closing them off.

Making this horrific choice, especially during Hanukkah and in the immediate aftermath of the Bondi Beach attack, is disgusting. Swastikas and nooses aren’t “potentially divisive” – they are explicit endorsements of hate against Jews and the Black community. Reverse this now.

Antisemitism turned a beautiful community celebration of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach into a nightmare. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the people of Australia.

Antisemitism is a global crisis — and we need to work together to end it.
