If you’re looking to voice your concerns to your Congressional leaders, I’d recommend 5calls. It gives you the direct phone number (bypass the switchboard), a basic script, and all the talking points. I use it and it makes the process so much easier to succinctly voice concerns.

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?

It’s freezing here tonight. Please keep us in your prayers. I think all my friends and family are safe and dry, but I know some aren’t so lucky.
Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

This is a coup similar to the Nazi takeover of Germany. After a failed violent insurrection the Nazis resolved to pretend to be a legitimate political party with the intentions of dismantling democracy piece by piece at a rapid pace. Blitzkrieg Politik.
Of course it’s a coup

I’ve heard from quite a few people that are concerned by this. To be clear, the “waste” he is talking about is spending people’s hard earned money on deserving legal citizens and not on his illegal immigrant bum. This is moving fast towards kleptocracy.

If Elon Musk or his DOGE team were to attempt to block federal payments, it would likely face legal challenges given the money is approved by Congress.
