My friend, it’s Ruben Gallego.

Tonight is Trump’s joint address to the House and Senate. We already know he’s going to spin everything he’s done so far as strength, but while he plays the tough guy the people of this country are paying the price.

If he was interested in telling the truth tonight, maybe he’d start with how high egg prices are — more expensive than ever! His own Secretary of Agriculture was on Fox News yesterday telling people to raise chickens in their backyard if they couldn’t afford it. Is that supposed to be a joke?


Or, maybe he’d talk about how he’s completely on board with the House budget resolution that was passed last week. The one that directed agencies to find $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid, and another $230 billion in cuts to SNAP. Taking health care and food away from people who can’t afford it — super strong.

He might get into Social Security. You know, the program responsible for lifting millions of seniors out of poverty every year. The program we all pay into, that has paid out every benefit owed since it was created. The one Elon Musk just called a ponzi scheme. Wonder if he’ll get into that.

While he’s at it, he could mention some of the people he’s fired over the last six weeks. This is the star of “The Apprentice” after all — get up there and brag about how you’ve put thousands of Veterans out of a job, Donald. I’ll be bringing one of those Veterans with me as a guest to the address. Someone Donald Trump and Elon Musk were proud to fire after he dedicated his life to serving his country.


But, really, if Trump was going to tell the truth, he wouldn’t give the address at all. Because the truth is, Trump has outsourced the presidency to Elon Musk. He’s letting Elon do everything for him — cancel contracts, hack into millions of sensitive records, fire people. I know a lot of people who voted for Trump, but I don’t know anyone who voted for Elon Musk.

So, remember: While Trump puts on his tough guy act tonight, his tariffs are crashing the economy. Thousands of people, many of them veterans, are wondering how they’ll find another job. Millions of seniors are worried about their Social Security checks, and countless working families don’t know how long they’ll be able to put food on the table.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are doing everything they can to make a quick buck — and make the rest of us pay for it. I’ll be doing everything I can to block the worst of it.

Times are tough, no doubt. But please, don’t check out. Stay involved however you can.

Together, we’ll make it through. But we can’t give up or lose hope. So, please, keep holding on.

Thanks,

Ruben
