Elon Musk’s Twitter feed is the farthest-right, most hateful and disinformation-forward social media feed I’ve seen of any person who doesn’t openly identify as a member of a hate group. It’s toxic at a level that in any other era would have led to *anyone* in business ceasing all dealings with him.

It's not that everyone "deserves" due process. It is that everyone in this country is GUARANTEED due process.
It is not a matter of deserving it. It is a matter of law.
I realize in some ways its a distinction without a difference, but I feel like we turn "deserve" into a measure not a fact.

I'm old enough to remember when pro-life GOPers would accuse working class women of having babies just to get government money. Anyone remember that, or am I nuts?

With Social Security, don't get too caught up talking about the minutiae.
THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY SOCIAL SECURITY.
Lead with that every time, then talk about how: removing offices, ID verification, bogus fraud claims, layoffs, etc.
Set the narrative now. It's not alarmist. It's happening.

Trump's only move. Blackmail. He's doing it to everyone: law firms, companies, colleges, states, Canada, NATO, Ukraine. He was impeached in the first term for it. It's the only "art of the deal" he's ever known: strongman mafioso extortion. He'll re-run the same play forever until America collapses.
Trump says he will withhold federal tax dollars to Maine colleges unless the Gov of Maine personally apologizes to him.

Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world:

2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research
3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest”
All three are under threat.

When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.
It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.
