The most dramatic moment of the evening occurred near the beginning of Trump's rambling, Congressional Address.
Congressman Al Green, a democrat from Texas, screamed. "You have no mandate to cut Medicaid!"
Trump was beginning his flurry of lies, half-truths, ridiculous exaggerations when Green, clutching his cane, had had enough.
Eventually, the worst Speaker in History, ordered Capitol Police to haul Congressman away.
Green told reporters outside the House Chamber that he could not sit silently by as Republicans attempt to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and SOCIAL SECURITY!
Yup. Even though Trump has said he has no plans to cut these programs, Congressional Republicans are drafting the legislation right now, and Trump has not repeated his promise not to touch Social Security.
Instead he repeated the MUSK LIES. Trump, Musk, and MAGA Mike Johnson have all claimed that Social Security is filled with graft and corruption and that 200-year-olds are getting checks.
In this podcast I quote from several sources, including a Los Angeles Times article called "Trump, The GOP, and Doge have launched their attack on your social security. START WORRYING."

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
