It Is Our Time to Fight for Democracy’s Promise

“Nothing fills my heart more than when ordinary people speak up for the ones they love. That’s what our members just did last week in Washington, D.C., when thousands came from all across the country to demand our elected officials do their jobs and stop the Trump administration from ripping health care and housing away from tens of millions of Americans. That’s what will happen if the cruel budget Congressional Republicans have proposed gets passed. Nearly a trillion dollars will be cut from Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP food aid, education and housing. And every penny they take away from you and me will go to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-rich and big corporations. Our people spoke up, because they know firsthand the harm these cuts will cause to their families.” [editor’s note: I’m guessing this is the disinformation source Bono is citing – SAT] (06/01/25)
