Trump and musk plan to fire 83,000 from the department of veterans affairs. Remember all those times the GOP said we couldn’t care for refugees because we needed to take care of our veterans first? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Let's Be Honest About The State Of The Union It wasn’t necessary to watch all of Trump’s speech last night to understand where we are as a country.
