The Trump administration now says they are allowed to enter your home to look for migrants without a warrant.

They claim their actions are unconstrained by the Fourth Amendment.

Trump and Republicans are gearing up to eliminate Head Start programs, which provide vital childcare to nearly 1 million kids.

SNAP, which helps feed nearly 14 million children, is also on the chopping block.

And they wonder why more people aren’t having children.

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?

Thank you Europe and thank you Ukraine! I am horrified and ashamed that the U.S. let you down and betrayed your trust.
After Trump & Vance’s utterly disgraceful performance it’s good to see European leaders step up. It’s profoundly American to criticize our leaders when they stray from democratic principles let alone what we are seeing in Trump’s administration. As a proud American I intend to fight for our country.

More accurate, fewer words;

"There are plenty of contractors going under".

A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
