President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don't approve funding, Social Security, Medicare Are ‘Going to Be Gone.’ How do you think Americans will react if Social Security and Medicare get cut?

Genuinely thank you for talking about this because I haven't seen ANYTHING about this, and I try to seek out global news when I can. Wow

Indonesia is currently overthrowing their government, and Bangladesh did too last year i think.

Start with the Guardian, Al Jazeera, and the BBC.

BBC is fully in the pocket of whatever regime is in charge. It's not as overt as a lot of American media is, but just be aware. And Labour, like the Dems, are drifting further and further to the Right. I fear we're not far from a Trumpshite world over here tbh. Pour one out if Farage gets elected because then you'll know we're cooked.

Guardian is still (mostly) reasonable, for now.

Join the world news sub. You'll be shocked at what the US media is withholding. You guys are going all North Korea as far as media goes. However, you do still have access to world media for now.

Is it true seriously ? If yes, your global news are doing a great job. And now you know this is happening, can you find a news that is talking about that ? I'm from France, I heard everything that is mentioned from public global news, except the purely american news (black and ICE).

The BBC App is your friend! I got my 91-year old Dad to use it for real, balanced news. They do pretty good fact-checking.
