Boston is not a city that tolerates tyranny. We will not sit by while Donald Trump and his billionaire friends dismantle the protections that our families count on.
Thank you to the thousands of people who came out today to tell this administration #HandsOffBoston!

Note there is no talk of cutting our taxes for social security, while they are gutting it and destroying it. Meanwhile they cut taxes for the rich
They are breaking Social Security, because they do not like Social Security.
Long waits, waves of calls, web crashes: Social Security is breaking down
A flood of cuts led by Elon Musk has sent the agency into chaos as a new commissioner prepares to take charge.

Fact Check: "This is a Biden hangover.”
Trump added $2.1 trillion to the deficit. Biden then reduced it by $942 billion.
In the last 50 years, the deficit has increased by a total of $3.8 trillion under Republican presidents. Under Democrats, it’s gone down by $2.1 trillion.

Donald Trump Just Proved He’s an Economic Idiot. Again.
His MAGA sycophants knew all along that his central economic proposal was a sham, but they repeated his lies. And now the economy is cracking.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead
