Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Trump Suggests He Supports Social Security and Medicare Cuts

HeadlineMar 12, 2024

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump suggested Monday he was open to cutting spending on Social Security and Medicare. During an interview on CNBC, Trump said, “There is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting.” President Biden responded with a message on social media, saying, “Not on my watch.”
Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee has fired over 60 staffers just days after Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump became the RNC’s new co-chair as the former president strengthens his control of the party.
In other Trump news, the former president is seeking to delay the start of his upcoming hush money trial, which is slated to begin March 25 in New York. Trump has requested the trial wait until the U.S. Supreme Court reviews his immunity claim in another case.
