Veterans are 6% of the adult population but 30% of the federal workforce (they get preference in hiring).
Which means Trump and Musk are already firing thousands of people who put their lives at risk for their country, many with disabilities they acquired in their service.

At a pivotal summit of European leaders on Sunday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced billions in support for Ukraine. The announcement comes shortly after Donald Trump ambushed, berated, and attempted to extort Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.
Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.
Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

If RFK wants to meaningfully decrease rates of depression, he can support paid family and maternity leave, equal pay for women, universal healthcare, and fully funded public schools.

If Trump and the GOP extend their 2017 tax cuts, the top 1% will make out like bandits — taking home an extra $165 per day.
But the bottom 60% will get shafted — getting only an extra $1.10 per day in exchange for massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
It's reverse Robin Hood.
