Should we let millions die of HIV?
Trump and Musk killed funding for the PEPFAR program, originally established by George Bush which has saved millions from AIDS for decades.
Should we destroy our universities?
Trump is cancelling billions of dollars in federal grants and contracts to universities, ending critical medical and scientific research efforts and eliminating support for essential labs and research staff.
Should the US force Ukraine to surrender to Russia?
Trump is currently forcing Ukraine to concede everything, and Putin to concede nothing. Ukrainians will die, and Putin will be emboldened to attack again.
Should we keep seniors from getting their Social Security?
Musk and DOGE are currently cutting the IT systems and staff that ensure checks go out on time. The Commerce Secretary just said that only fraudsters would complain if Social Security didn’t pay them one month.
Should we wreck our weather forecasts?
Musk and Trump are currently gutting the National Weather Service, which provides the data all US weather forecasters rely on. Without it, many more of us will die in tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods.
