After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%.
So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

1. Incredible ruling! An Ohio appeals court has ruled that trans care is healthcare, strikes down youth trans care ban!

We purchase more from Canada than Canada purchases from us, because we are a much bigger country. That's not "losing money." That's like saying you lose money to the grocery store.
Trump during his Super Bowl interview: "I think Canada would be much better off being a 51st state because we lose $200 billion a year with Canada, and I'm not gonna let that happen."

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Trump promises a “golden age.” But here’s what I don’t get: He had four years before as president. Did he deliver a “golden age”? He couldn’t even pull together a single infrastructure week or a healthcare plan. And he mismanaged a pandemic. Only a cult wouldn’t remember this.
