Mr. Musk plans to layoff 83,000 workers at the VA. That means lower quality care for our vets. Unacceptable.

I agree with the VFW: The VA must “reconsider its planned reduction of 83,000 employees & thoroughly review any proposed cuts prior to rolling out further announcements.”

The Truth About Trump’s Tariffs
Inflation rose in January. Working people are struggling to make ends meet. Trump’s newly planned tariffs will make the problem worse. Let me explain. The Truth About Trump’s Tariffs

Trump says his 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada — and an additional 10% tariff on China — will take effect on March 4. 

These new tariffs would cost the typical U.S. household an extra $1,200/year. 

Other countries won't pay for tariffs — you will.

Tesla Stock Falls 8% as Concerns About Elon Musk’s Political Role Grow The electric-car maker’s stock has had a bumpy ride since the victory of President Trump, who has given Tesla’s chief, Elon Musk, a role in Washington.

Tesla's losses on Tuesday were at least partly a reaction to a catastrophic decline in Tesla’s European sales, which fell 50% in January from a year earlier, according to new-car registrations tallied by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association.
