Accountability is under pressure this week. When the systems that hold power accountable start going quiet, we have to get louder. Stay informed and stay engaged. The news cycle moves fast, but some of these stories deserve a second look.

How our president engages with the world reflects our values. The U.S. now gets 30% more for Venezuelan oil than Venezuela did before we captured Maduro. Was it ever about human rights, or just resources?

While the US is stuck in limbo with a ceasefire with Iran, President Trump is working to reshape elections and test the limits of his power. Here are some of the major headlines for the week in case you missed it.

The facts: SNAP fraud is under 1% & able-bodied adults are already required to work. $300 billion in cuts means one thing: taking benefits people earned. That's not fiscal responsibility. Thank you, Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet for speaking the truth.

Insiders are cashing in on this presidency in ways we've never seen before. Better contracts. Tariff carveouts. Suspicious trades placed minutes before market-moving tweets. White collar prosecutions at an all-time low. The swamp wasn't drained. It was expanded.

Our troops deserve a mission, not a moving target. 6 Americans have already paid the ultimate price. Ask this admin what the goal is and you get a different answer every day. Even Pete Hegseth can't give a straight answer. This isn't leadership. It's improvisation with American lives.

War threats, a last-minute ceasefire, Steve Bannon walking free, automatic draft registration, and Tucker Carlson calling out Trump. On top of that, NASA just broke an Apollo record. Take a closer look at what happened this week.

It's been quite the week: $11B has been spent on the Iran war in 7 days, more Epstein files are released, our troops are under fire, and Hegseth has been blowing millions of tax dollars on luxury items. Check out the headlines to see what happened this week.

A record 4.5 million Americans are tapping their 401(k)s early, paying penalties just to cover basic needs as costs climb. The administration calls it a "booming economy," but when families can't make ends meet without raiding their retirement, something isn't adding up. Our people deserve better.

Our National Guard has always answered the call during disasters. But political leaders are using our military as props for partisan theatre, eroding trust and leaving families vulnerable. Learn more about Reveille and Rally to stop the misuse at reveilleandrally.com
