We must overwhelmingly win the media battle on SS and other cuts and threatened cuts. People aren't for these things unless they are misinformed. That's why Bernie is making the rounds and Rachel is on every night. Of course we need to do more.
Already our Intelligence experts are upset at being suddenly forced to withdraw help to Ukraine after 10 years of dedicated help.
Rachel questioned whether the armed people letting DOGE into the lates federal agency were really US Marshalls. If not, I wonder if they couldn't get actual marshalls to do the job.
Soldiers have family on SS. They won't like to see their ranks purged by Musk and AI.
They need to understand that anything Trump orders them to do is illegal and against the wishes of the people.
No one signs up to serve the country and then attack it.
