Schumer’s failure to lead in this critical moment was a betrayal of the Democratic Party, its voters, and our democracy. We need a Senate Minority Leader who will actually fight back against Trump, not fold to him. The stakes are too high for failed leadership. Make sure your senators hear from you.

I can’t lose my social security. I doubt you can’t either.
Ponzi? I worked for my money.
Musk said the quiet part out loud: he’s going after your Social Security and Medicare. Period.

Mark my words. They will make you pay in every part of your life.
Elon Musk reiterated his intention to destroy programs like Social Security, which he has called a Ponzi scheme:

"Most of the federal spending is entitlements... that’s the big one to eliminate."

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.

The actual number is less than 1%.

Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.
