HEY DUMB ASS, SOCIAL SECURITY IS (NOT) A HAND OUT!

Republicans want Seniors and people who’ve worked their whole life and are injured or disabled to go back to work.

These people have paid into this just like your dumb-as paid car and life insurance!

WTF? 🤬
Nevada Republican Governor Joe Lombardo during a recent private dinner said that Nevadans who participated in the “Hands Off” rallies were just folks looking for “handouts” and that their central message was that they don't want to go back to work. He said he is troubled by the "Hands Off" message.

Lobbyist And Government Contractor Bought JD Vance’s Home For $170,000 Over Asking Price
The buyer, a Trump appointee during his first term, denies any political motive—calling the $1.9 million deal purely market-driven.

There might be an assumption that DOGE is bringing in incredible coders to replace bureaucrats. But that is not the case. Some DOGE members applied to the US Digital Service before Trump took office. None of them got very far, because they lacked basic skills. From a founding member of USDS.

I heard my friend Dan here give a remarkable brief talk about this last month. Thankfully, he’s written it up at length to share.
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

This is informative. Thanks
Funeral Director here: People who pass away don’t receive social security checks once the agency has been notified. We fill out a form (SSA-721) and fax it directly to social security.

We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

Of course. But being the party standing up for those fired will mean a lot to those fired and their families. It will also show the country that they are trying to bring order to chaos. And if they can get any Republican support at all, that's huge leverage for March 14
If they propose legislation, won't the majority Republicans just reject it? I'm thinking there is nothing Dems are going to get passed, nothing they can fight. I have to give it to Heritage Foundation... they planned all of this out so perfectly, Dems have been completely shut out. I'm disgusted.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.
