Despite campaign promises, White House eyes new changes to Social Security and Medicare β€œI will never do anything that will jeopardize or hurt Social Security or Medicare,” Trump vowed in 2024. I have bad news for voters who believed him.

Reported Trump plan to cut more than 750,000 older Americans off disability:

Shutdown How the Trump Administration Weaponizes the Federal Government Shutdown

My take on the Republican’s government shutdown. Dems hold the line, protect American’s rights and hard earned benefits.

β€œContinuous Vetting” of All Visa Holders Is Impossible, but the Threat Alone Chills Free Speech Government claims of AI-powered surveillance create an illusion of total oversight that encourages self-censorship without actually improving security.

The Trump administration is escalating its surveillance of tens of millions of *legal* immigrants, forcing them to refrain from expressing opinions that someone might deem β€œanti-American.” It’s a clear attack on free speech and the First Amendment. bit.ly/4823Brc

Trump is bringing hard times to the people that voted for him, and while Dems are speaking up about healthcare, this problem goes a whole lot deeper. Listen to Rick Wilson on MSNBC.

It's about time. A wilfully impotent Congress unleashed a nutso puppet authoritarian executive and his Constitution-trampling puppeteer ideologues. Journalism is fodder for media conglomerates, billionaires, and hedge funds. Our last defenses: citizen engagement, an uncompromised press, the courts.
