Pay attention to what is happening at Social Security. DOGE has created serious tech problems, gutted the staff, overwhelmed call centers, and created much confusion in its wake. Pay attention Americans—you earned these benefits. Nobody has the right to them—but you.

You’ve heard about Bo Watson’s bill that removes undocumented kids from schools — how about the also cruel Brent Taylor bill that attacks churches & charities, holding them liable if any undocumented immigrants they help later commit crimes?

EU STEPS UP 4 UKRAINE DURING EMERGENCY SUMMIT

Zelenskyy: Everyone must ensure that Russia, the sole source of this war, accepts the need to end it. This can be proved by two forms of silence: no attacks on energy and other civilian infrastructure – a truce for missiles, bombs, long-range drones.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster.

WATCH: A “Conservative Medicaid Expansion” bill by REPUBLICAN Rep. Charlie Baum passed 7-0 in subcommittee…

…then died 14-4 in committee when every Republican opposed it, including @scottcepicky and other yes votes in sub.

Sexton says it wasn’t him 🤷🏻

Between VA cuts (a majority of the workers are Veterans & also receive their services) & cutting Medicaid, Donald Trump is turning his back on OUR nation's heroes. Not ONLY is it a HUGE DISSERVICE to people who put their lives on the line for America, it is CRIMINAL!

Trump no longer needs MAGA voters, so he's gutting Medicaid and laying off veterans | Opinion
Once Trump won the election and did away with his legal issues, he abandoned the 'forgotten men and women' he so sincerely promised to champion.
