My primary interest at this time is in working to save our democracy from oligarchy and authoritarianism and to prevent further erosion of our civil liberties. I'm married and live in Houston, TX.

Elon Musk is wrong about dead people on social security. Here's the real problem
The billionaire's claims about millions of dead people on Social Security are dead wrong. The real problem is a shrinking workforce paying into the system.

If you want an inside look at what we’re up against, follow Elon Musk’s twitter posts for a few days. Much ignorant and irrational ranting.

This is the issue. It’s not even about foreign aid! It’s about breaking the law.
The moment we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down one agency – we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down anything.

LIVE: Several congressional Democrats are gathered outside USAID to stand in opposition of its illegal closure by Trump/Musk. C-SPAN is livestreaming it here:

That's my member of Congress talking, Don Beyer; he just said Musk is "doing China's bidding."

Could we start a campaign to ask retail and grocery stars and gas stations to indicate how much of the cost of a product we buy is to cover their new tariff taxes? For example:
Dozen Eggs $2.68
Trump Tariff .67
Total Cost $3.38
