Democracy isn’t guaranteed. The second you take it for granted, it starts falling apart. If you’re not paying attention, it can be taken away before you realize it. Once it’s gone, you’ll understand how much you needed it, but by then, it’s too late. Fight for it. Always.

Oh, look, two men who've never served anyone but themselves have big feelings about taking care of our nation's veterans. FUCK THEM.
Musk and Ramaswamy have already identified $516 billion in government savings. It includes DRAMATIC CUTS to Veterans Affairs health care, the National Institutes of Health, Head Start, the FBI, and many other vital programs.

Elon Musk is a Putin loyalist. So is Trump. They are not patriots of this country and have been paid a lot of money to destroy us from the inside out. Look at his cabinet. Each has expressed a desire to destroy the institution they are in charge of. Putin said he would destroy us from the inside.
