I love her. Fierce. Steel Magnolia.
If you need the food bank right now, there’s no shame. Shame belongs to a system that pays poverty wages, cuts childcare, and lets healthcare bankrupt families.
If you can give, do. If you can’t, that’s okay too.

I legitimately don't understand how you can frame what he did -- putting individuals' names and faces on an anti-free speech "watchlist," sending busloads of MAGA folks to the Capitol on 1/6, joking about bailing out Paul Pelosi's attacker, sneering at immigrants and black women -- as "civility"

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.
Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.
It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

Hi, I think a lot of us received e-mails from SSA saying that social security will no longer be taxed - and that somehow there is "enhanced deductions" (how much enhancement can you make to 0?) for those over 65. What part, if any, of this is true? Thank you!

It took me a very long time to learn "do your best" does not mean "give 100% effort even at the expense of your physical or mental health" or "give A+ effort even when it is clearly not appreciated or valued". Sometimes doing your best is heating up a can of soup and going to bed early.

Try to file online first. If you have trouble, call the 800# to try to file. If the wait is too long, call the local office.
If you can't do it over the phone, the 800# or the FO will set up an appointment. More importantly, they'll have protected your filing date!
