What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

I saw this elderly woman on a mobility scooter today. She had a sign asking for money for water & food. I gave her $2, which was my change. I don’t carry much cash. I cried driving away imagining what I would do in her situation. She was a few years older than me. People wouldn’t even look at her. 🧵

— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees the President Biden should NOT consider granting a pardon to Donald trump, no matter what.
He STILL refuses to admit he lost in 2020, he's going to pardon the January 6th attackers, and will probably try to pardon himself anyway.
FUCK. THAT.

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."
