Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

To this administration:
If you’re going to destroy the Social Security apparatus in an effort to wipe it out, give me and every American back our money. Now. We’ve been paying into SS our entire lives, and we aren’t going to roll over while you pick our pockets. #SendMeMyMoney
What Trump did to Social Security absolutely equals benefit cuts

He put Musk in charge

Cut staff by 12%

And is closing offices

Now-the system is crashing

Recipients can’t access their accounts

And can’t even speak to anyone by phone-or in person

It’s unconscionable to treat seniors like this

Yes, Trump and Elon are attacking it with a goal of privatization. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose:

If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.

Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."
Elon Musk says he wants to “eliminate” programs like Social Security and Medicare: “Entitlements... That’s the big one to eliminate”

"There are plenty of people who can say, 'I was wrong' or 'I'm sorry.'

"People who have that skill, however, tend to be empathetic, self-aware, and curious — all traits that prevent ever having voted for Trump in the first place."

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.
