You should print out your Social Security Statement. Elon and who knows how many countless others now have access to your private information, so it'd be wise to have a record of it.

Fernandez: "Would you invite Elon Musk or his interns into your savings account? would you ask him to come and rifle through your regular house bills? would you-- oh my god-- tell him to come over and take a look at your children's personal data?"

Last night, I wrote in my newsletter, Civil Discourse, about Trump's new coup. I base my analysis on the facts and the law, not hyperbole. We are at a serious tipping point. I hope you'll subscribe if you feel the same way, or if you just want to learn more. joycevance.substack.com

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Just a heads up:

If you got an issue with some upcoming legislation, you can call the Capital switchboard at:

Let them know you got grievances and how you feel about all the bullshit coming up.

I guess Musk-Trump have accessed every American’s personal data- our Social Security all private information. Whatever the government knew about us is now completely in Elon Musk’s possession. We don’t know what he plans to do with it

🤔🤔🤔 Really NOT liking the fact that #Elon and his peeps who have not gone through a background checks have access to our #PII, #SSN data (#SSDI, #Medicare), tax returns and more. Huge security breakdown.

Think about it… now he marries it to Twitter data... #IdentityTheft101 and worse here

Hearing them say “No VIPs were on the Blackhawk” is nasty business.

Those people are someone’s VIPs.

Devastated for the families and friends of all on board the AA and Blackhawk flights that went down last night into the Potomac River. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

Someone needs to explain to RFK that telemedicine is only great if your insurance covers it and you can access it cross border. This assumes patients HAVE insurance: 72million lost it yesterday. Is it back yet?
January 29, 2025 at 5:23 PM
Just watched RFK not be able to answer how the federal governments law supersedes the states law when a woman miscarrying needs an abortion and how he will protect them. Then he rambled on about curing chronic illness. Please let there be 4 republicans that recognize he is NOT qualified.

Hearing from federal employees tonight who are getting messages via their agency’s emergency notification system, which is usually reserved for snow-related office closures, that’s like DO NOT RESPOND TO THAT EMAIL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, WE HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF THOSE PROMISES ARE REAL
