Going after Trump will be less effective in the long run than putting extreme pressure on Congress. Right now, Congress generally speaking does not care about public sentiment. They are afraid of getting into hot water with Trump. We must make Congress more afraid of the people!

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel. They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their hands. Keep up the fight.

How is Social Security an entitlement when we pay into the system during our entire working lives. I want to see Musk answer that question.

Trump can order the eradication of the Dept. of Education, but he cannot actually do it unless Congress is involved. While he attempts to create a distraction, he will do something else. Keep on alert!
