On Monday, SCOTUS upheld the law requiring Medicare to negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, helping many older Americans afford their medications. Every single Congressional Republican voted NO on this law. Alliance Executive Director Richard Fiesta breaks it down.

Elon Musk says we need to eliminate "entitlements." He's wrong. Social Security and Medicare are earned benefits that we PAID for. It's OUR money, not his.

According to Scott Bessent, being upset that Americans are dipping into savings to pay for necessities like gas and groceries is a "doomer view." Most retirees live on a fixed income. We MUST elect a Congress that will bring DOWN the cost of food, utilities, gas, and medicine.
Not-so-fun fact: John Sununu left the Senate in 2009 with a Lifetime Pro-Retiree score of just NINE PERCENT. He's never been a friend to older Americans, instead working and voting to cut the benefits we paid for over a lifetime of work.
🚨 Seniors were already struggling to pay for necessities, and now oil prices are at a record high thanks to Trump's war. Experts predict they won't get back to where they were until 2032!! We need a Congress that will hold Trump accountable and focus on our needs.
🙌 Congresswoman Suzan DelBene tells Sec. Kennedy that his new AI-powered Medicare pre authorization program is hurting patients. Thank you for standing up for us!
🚨 Republicans voted down an amendment that would have protected married women whose name is now different from the one on their birth certificate voting rights. They claimed the SAVE Act doesn’t hurt women. 69 million married women - and the Alliance - beg to differ.
"It's pretty simple: Without new revenue, Social Security will not be able to cover full benefits. And that will start in 2032." @whitehouse.senate.gov doesn't mince words. If Social Security is going to stay strong for generations, we need to #ScrapTheCap and make the rich pay their fair share.
🚨 When Trump let slip that he doesn't think about the American people's finances, seniors everywhere heard. That's why Michigan Alliance President Jim Pedersen wants you to vote in November: We need leaders who will hold Trump accountable and put us first!
Elizabeth Warren tells it like it is: TrumpRx isn't going to help many of us better afford our medication. In fact, it often makes it more difficult.
As social media continues to get more sophisticated, so do the scammers. Justin Brookman of Consumer Reports explains how bad actors are taking advantage of older adults — and how easy social media makes it for them.
Candidate Trump, one year ago: "I’m not going to touch Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid." President Trump, April 2026: "It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things."
if any of y'all get booked to guest on the show you should really consider telling J-Hud that screaming out "CLUTCHIN' AWN UH REAUX ZUH REE!!!" 15 years ago was never necessary.
Yesterday, I voted against Trump's illegal war in Iran. Unfortunately, my GOP colleagues chose to cowardly stand with Trump & against the American people. When this comes back to the floor next week, will the GOP continue to bend the knee to the maniac in the WH or stand up for their constituents?

The public deserves competent health leadership. Instead, key federal health posts are vacant, and the ones that are filled include RFK Jr. Dr. Oz, a penile-implant specialist in the infectious disease chain of command and a non-scientist acting FDA commissioner. This is a crisis of competence.
The Oreshnik has hit the centre of Bila Tserkva - I dread to think of the damage. Here's a clearer sight of the attack.
