Project 2025 seeks to repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act, "which would mean an end to Medicare negotiating prescription drug costs."
"The Heritage Foundation, which is behind Project 2025, supports an increase to the retirement age for Social Security, as does senior conservative Republican leadership.
Project 2025 is coming for Social Security but they are hiding the ball."

New column from Maribel Hastings: "When Donald Trump claims he doesn’t know something, or that it has nothing to do with him — especially something sinister— he means the exact opposite: he does know, and he is involved."
"Trump took to his Truth Social platform to deny ties to Project 2025, which is starting to become more widely known and shocking to those who read it — unless you sympathize with authoritarian governments."

Experts with Physicians for Human Rights said the traumatic policy constituted torture and enforced disappearance, “which occurs when state agents conceal the fate or whereabouts of a person who is deprived of liberty.”
The term “enforced disappearance” has usually been associated with human rights abuses in dictatorial regimes in Chile and Argentina. #FamilesBelongTogether

Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Board: “To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race.”
“…. the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.
Trump, 78, has been on the political stage for eight years marked by chaos, corruption, and incivility. Why go back to that?”

When convicted felon Donald Trump talks about immigrants as “not human beings” and “animals,” he’s talking about people like my mom.
She came to the U.S. more than four decades ago to create a better life for herself. She isn’t “poisoning the blood” of America. She is the American story.
