There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.
Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Deeply infuriating.
A doubtmongering waste of resources (it HAS BEEN studied!) that can only do harm. And (getting paranoid) worry about integrity of proposed research.
Research priorities shouldn't be framed by lies.

C.D.C. Will Investigate Debunked Link Between Vaccines and Autism
Dozens of studies have failed to find evidence of a link. The decision to re-examine the question comes as a measles outbreak, driven by low vaccination rates, widens in Texas.

Russian negotiators are trying to entice President Trump to make concessions to Putin that will make us all less safe.
Congress should oppose irresponsible attempts to unwind measures that keep the pressure on Russia to end its war.

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
