Why do we never hear that immigrants are a net positive to our SS and Medicare funds? They add to the GDP and help the farms, service industry, construction and other various sectors. How can we get this across to the public at large (Meaning voters in blue states, hahaha)?

Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.

“Every single Trump action, especially on energy, is designed to raise prices for Americans and maximize profits for the fossil fuel industry."
Trump aims to boost gas exports. It'll probably increase your electricity bill
His effort to address a fake “energy emergency” also will contribute to a real one.

I think Americans have to understand things won't go back to normal and no one is coming to save us. The self destructive decision to vote for Trump is going to cause long term pain, damage and weakness. We have to survive and try to rebuild something better. Generational effort sadly.

To be clear, Lindsey Graham is a criminal parasite as well as a phony repugnant coward. No one who uses their brain would ever take his trashy advice let alone a hero like President Zelenskyy. Lindsey should crawl back in the orange felon’s ass where he belongs.

Here’s an idea:
If “waste, fraud and abuse” are actually being uncovered, could we see a couple examples that can be investigated and confirmed by an independent 3rd party?
