The President is lying about Social Security as an excuse to gut Social Security after promising not to touch it.
Why? To pave the way for more tax cuts for the rich.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.

2. Refused to violate the Constitution.
3. Refused to bow or scrape.
4. Refused to bend a knee.
5. Deleted this stupid email.

Just saw the Oscar-nominated The Brutalist last night. It’s a great film about a Jewish refugee from Nazi persecution channeling his experience into art, and navigating the politics of the Protestant elite in 1950s US.
This is a great resource for understanding the political history of the style.
