They are attacking all Universities with respect to research and it's getting very ugly! I think people are going to be very angry with losing jobs that they've had for years. Don't even get me started on Social Security!

As a mother and mother-in-law, social security is critical. I'm appalled. It matters.

As a lifelong D I find it interesting that at the beginning of Trump, some Rs said, I don’t like him personally but I like his policies. I remember someone saying that voter fraud was a real problem. And also, let’s go back to the good old Reagan days.

If we can actually get rid of Trump, is the new R party going to change fundamentally or is just going back to its racist, anti labor, big business roots?

Can we count on never having to hear that cuts in social programs, or any program that benefits poor people, a good way to address government overspending? That would be nice, for starters.

There is no longer a United States. Privacy and security both individually and as a country, gone. The pride in being Americans is being ripped from our souls. The Republican party is now a third party to Trumpians. I will fight for goodness and light and against tyranny, but we are simply now, North Americans.

Will never forget when Bush tried to privatize SS. Such a stupid idea.

Why isn't Murkowski yelling? Some of her people will have to fly to get to a SS office.

What about the republican Governors of these states? Also, you are right! Until our reps/senators are more afraid of us than of Trump/Musk, they will choose Trump.

My daughter-in-law has early Alzheimers disease -- 50 years oild, formerly the major breadwinner -- she has to get SS and Medicare and her children get SS until 18. So???

Trump lied time and again in the campaign over many things to keep his ass out of jail

Now the dictatorship is evolving More attacks on law firms House leader suggests that the government get rid of federal district courts Fascist and Russian troll Trump wants to takeover the Postal Service so he can remove mail in voting Another executive order to underscore the SAVE act now in the House so that 31m voters every year can be disenfranchised Obtaining voter information so that voters can be challenged by Nazi vigilantes At least 3 federal agencies which work to ensure election integrity have been dismantled The dictator knows that if his Congressional advantage is swept away in 2026 he will be impeached again

The Nazis have to be stopped at the polling place in 2026 Vote ALL Nazis(aka Republicans) out of office GET ANGRY
