Like equality and fairness. Truth and justice matter in a democracy. Any threat to democracy should be stopped by our weak congress.

In case you forgot what it looks like when a real president gets the love at a game. You know, when the crowd actually wants the president there.

Trump says the Republican mega bill will eliminate taxes on Social Security. It does not
At best, Trump's "no tax on Social Security" claim exaggerates the benefits to seniors if either the House or Senate-passed proposals is signed into law.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true. Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that. It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

In addition to gutting Medicaid, Trump's Billionaire Bill adds 175 BILLION TO ICE, which gives it a bigger budget than some countries' entire military budget. What will Trump do with ICE and 10,000 "agents?"
