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?

I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired.

Let’s start with Elon Musk.

We'll say it again: No, 150-year-olds are not collecting Social Security benefits. #SOTU www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud in the Social Security Administration. There’s a much simpler explanation.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

While Trump “floods the zone,” we must stay focused. 

NO to oligarchy, tax breaks for the rich and cuts to working class programs. NO to authoritarianism and unlimited power for one man.

YES to growing the union movement and raising wages. YES to health care as a human right.

There is a HUGE difference between BLINDLY CUTTING people, services, entire programs, or halting payments vs. WORKING WITH people in agencies to reduce spending, working with people that understand the programs, services and policies and asking those EXPERTS what changes can be done.

The American people deserve an intelligence chief that will stand up to Donald Trump if he gives them a directive to illegally gut funds from watchdogs that oversee intelligence agencies. Tulsi Gabbard refused to answer, which tells you everything you need to know.
WYDEN: If Trump orders you to withhold appropriated funds from the inspector general, would you refuse that illegal order?

GABBARD: I don't believe for a second President Trump would ask me to do something that breaks the law

WYDEN: That's not what I'm asking.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
