There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.

Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."
Elon Musk says he wants to “eliminate” programs like Social Security and Medicare: “Entitlements... That’s the big one to eliminate”

Janet Mills was elected the first woman DA in ME history. Elected 1st woman AG in ME. Won election to state House, reelected 3x. Then 1st woman Gov - won by 20 points. Then reelected in 2022 by 13 points. In other words, far more popular in ME than Trump will ever be.
