Straight talk America needs

Democrats should be more clear - point out the hypocrisy of Republicans and approve this Nancy Pelosi budget! If they want to fight in Senate - just show and explain delta and put it to scale with full budget just like Brian Kim has below

What does it mean for DOGE to "make mistakes" with seniors' Social Security?

Long wait times, underpayments, or no payments at all.

The richest man in the world is sticking his fingers in the benefits our seniors have paid for their entire working lives.
DOGE is driving Social Security cuts and will make mistakes, acting head says privately
The Social Security Administration’s acting commissioner said members of Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team are outsiders who are unfamiliar with the nuances of the agency’s programs.

My family found a home here in America after fleeing the massacre of Jews in Ukraine.

Like so many refugees, they found work and contributed to their community.

It’s wrong that Donald Trump wants to deport families, just like mine, who fled violence.
Exclusive: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US, sources say
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

I’ll sum up Trump's speech for those who missed it:

He's raising costs for families with pointless trade wars.

He’s slashing health care for seniors and families.

He's going after the CHIPS Act and all the jobs it created.

And he’s abandoning allies for Putin.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Israel is conducting terrorist attacks in Syria, like Russia it is attacking its neighbours completely unprovoked and with the approval of the US government.

Israel is trying to provoke a war so it can grab Syria’s natural resources and territory.
