Veterans are speaking out against President Trump's military deployment in Los Angeles because they know that using the military to police protests is un-American and puts our First Amendment rights in danger.
Trump’s domestic deployment of US armed forces is an alarming abuse of power and affront to democracy - CommonWealth Beacon
For months now, Trump and his minions have been waging a campaign to twist the military into a heavily armed loyalist force.

Public broadcasters like PBS and NPR give every American access to culture, history, art, and trusted journalism. They’re a cornerstone of civic life.
Defunding them does a disservice to us all, especially in rural communities.
We must defend them.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Gutting Social Security isn’t "efficient" — it’s a broken promise.
Democrats and Republicans should stand up and fight back to protect it.

SEN ELIZABETH WARREN: Social Security is under attack. Gutting it is a broken promise
People are struggling with sky-high prices while their retirement savings are evaporating. We need a temporary increase in benefits right now to give people some relief.

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that
