Well, that’s what the SSA is telling people.
Trump: "We're delivering no tax on Social Security." (This was not in the bill that was approved by Congress today.)

FYI this is the propaganda being sent out by the SSA to anyone with a registered my social security account.

For 6 months, Dem leaders have downplayed or refused to frontally address many of Trump's worst abuses by saying those are "distractions" from the Dems focusing on economic issues. But as Trump's tax bill is being voted on, Jeffries is attacking a Dem ...over a phrase that Dem doesn't even use.
Hakeem Jeffries on Mamdani: "'Globalizing the intifada' by way of example is not an acceptable phrasing. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward."

One thing about the protests that is probably unnerving for Democratic leadership is that for normie Dems, Palestine is rapidly becoming a popular cause. Saw Palestinian flags, a sign that said “stand with Ukraine and Gaza,” and a speaker’s mentions of Palestine drew the biggest cheers today.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"
Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

I honestly can’t stop thinking about this RFK speech. A lot of the outrage around it is focused on pointing out that it’s not true.
But so fucking what if it was? Do people whose bodies don’t work not deserve to exist in society? If all these things were true for a person are they less worthy?

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.
