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

For shame, NCAA. 10 trans athletes. Ten. You could have had a backbone but instead you choose to throw ten people under the bus. So much for a "welcoming environment". Bet anyone not conforming to gender standards will feel welcome now (/s)

Poor and near-poor people are going to see another reduction in essential services, and pay a higher share of their disposable income than the people who exploit them.
NEW: The Mississippi House has voted to eliminate the state's income tax, ultimately amounting to a $2.2 billion reduction.
The bill would be partly offset by a new gas tax.
