The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Get ready: Pam Bondi's confirmation hearings will be brutal. Dems will press her on:

*what she'll do when Trump orders prosecutions of enemies
*if she'll back pardon of 1/6ers who attacked cops
*Trump threat to punish media that displease him

McConnell broke America when he broke his oath to defend and protect the Constitution and instead advanced his party and person. He should be held to account.

Here's how Mike Johnson can help Trump trigger the nuclear scenario bypassing the Senate with recess appointments. There are wrinkles but they might prove surmountable. Senate GOP can tacitly acquiesce in the scheme.

Alarming: Trump really can send Congress home if Mike Johnson creates the pretext he needs to adjourn lawmakers. Then he can recess-appoint Gaetz or anyone he wants.

On the pod, congressional expert Sarah Binder explains how this would work. You'll learn a ton:
