The Republican tax plan is now projected to cost up to $5.5 TRILLION with 70% of the benefits going to the richest 5% of Americans.

Republicans will either blow a giant hole in the deficit or go after our earned benefits to pay for it. This isn't just a scamβ€”it's a heist.

These Democratic senators need to hear from their constituents right now. Urge them to reject the GOP’s voter suppression bill and protect our freedom to vote.

When Trump claims the U.S. will receive $1 trillion in revenue from tariffs, that is not money coming from other countries.

That is $1 trillion is coming out of YOUR pocket.

Social Security wrongly told disabled people and some seniors their benefits ended, causing alarm One family said they were dismayed when the Social Security site said their disabled adult son was no longer receiving benefits.

When Chris & Tom in MA checked their son's Social Security account last week, it said his disability benefits had ended.

They stayed up all night refreshing. Those benefits help pay for his care.

Trump & Musk's attack on Social Security is hurting people. We're fighting back.

ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES

U.S. job cuts hit 275,240 in March 2025, the highest since the pandemic peak in 2020, surpassing 2001 & 2008 recessions. Layoffs surge as federal cuts, led by DOGE, echo Covid-era losses.

It's the third highest monthly total on record.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Pete Hegseth would not be Sec of Def without @RogerWicker. He had the power to stop the nomination.

So, will Senator Wicker call for an investigation of the most serious national security breach in modern times? Or just look the other way? Party or country?
