I'm curious. One thing that strikes me about the U.S. is that many disabled veterans end up homeless, often as a consequence of (mostly) republican policies and a weak social security.

Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.
