Tell the truth, sir. And in 2017, when they "gave a tax cut" it gave the rich "permanent tax breaks" and the poorer people temporary and then to get back the money they lost by giving the rich a break they immediately started threatiing SS and Medicare to "get it back". Stand up for the workers.
My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Sen. Mark Kelly says a president demanded lawmakers be **hanged** for telling the truth. That’s not anger—it’s an unhinged bid for power above the law. America survives only when leaders answer to the Constitution, not one man’s rage. And we cannot afford to look away.

Russia launched a drone & missile attack on Kyiv last night. Combined attacks were also directed against Odesa, Chernihiv & Zhytomyr regions.
In Kyiv: 7 killed, 21 injured, incl 1 child.
Once again, Kyiv residents- men, women, children, and animals - sheltered in the Kyiv metro.

I’m so proud of my Senator! For the video he made with the other Veterans in Congress & for how he just doesn’t see this administration as a personal threat. People who act like this administration does are WEAK! Strong people, like Kelly, don’t have to run around telling you how strong they are!
SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”
