No, 150-Year-Olds Aren’t Collecting Social Security Benefits
Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud in the Social Security Administration. There’s a much simpler explanation.

How can 150 year olds (born in 1874) be receiving Social Security checks when SS wasn't even introduced until 1935?🤔
And how math works.

This looks like a good idea. It turns out it wasn't initiated by HCR, so I've deleted her name from the image. I guess whoever thought it up is shy. I plan to do this, even though I can't spend any money anyway until I feel that my Social Security is safe.

STAND UP TO MUSK
Despite Trump’s campaign promises, Musk is coming after your earned Social Security benefits.
Demand that every member of Congress stand up to Musk’s cynical efforts to steal our earned Social Security benefits while giving himself and other billionaires a hefty tax cut.

Thom Tillis is a scumbag.
He personally promised Pete Hegseth's sister-in-law that her sworn statement would sway his vote.
He ended up being the deciding YES vote, anyway.

Too many characterize Biden as being spineless in this but that's just not the case at all. He is a true believer in this. In the 80s he told Menachem Begin that Israel should kill even Palestinian women and children, whatever it took, and even Begin was like "jeez man you gotta chill out"
All the news today. It's really kind of amazing when you think about it. Biden didn't support the genocide out of weakness or subservience or anything like that. He just is and has always been a true believer in the concept of dead Palestinians. No price was too high. He wanted it and he got it. Fin
