The former head of the Social Security Administration says he expects the agency to miss on some payments over the next three months, interrupting some people's benefits, for the first time in Social Security's history of eight decades: www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...
Social Security has never missed a payment. DOGE actions threaten 'interruption of benefits,' ex-agency head says
New changes at the U.S. Social Security Administration may put its ability to deliver monthly benefit checks at risk, former agency head says.

Solid 4. Super good fun. Doesn’t take itself too seriously and yet has a fairly decent plot. #booksky📚💙 #books2025

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

One reason Musk might be so driven to shut down USAID?

The agency's inspector general opened a probe into Starlink last year.

Now the Trump administration says Musk will self-determine his conflicts of interest.

Alleged USAID probe into Starlink raises Elon Musk conflict concerns
In 2022, USAID and Starlink collaborated to provide 5,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine amid its ongoing war against Russia.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.

Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

Review: solid 4. Amazing art, the only thing is the in media res is rough. There’s so much to learn and very little slots into place until the last quarter. #bookreview #monstress #booksky💙📚 #2025books

Review: 3. It felt unfinished, mostly because it was a very quick read and could have stood to be longer. I felt it stopped at what would be the midpoint for any other book. Did like the shifting POVs. #booksky💙📚 #butcherwren #2025books #bookreview

Review: 3, I guess? I wanted to like it more than I did. Good story, but I just couldn’t connect with the characters. Won’t be continuing the series. #wool #booksky #bookreview #2025books

Review: 1.5. I’m both triggered and angered by this book. Personal fat-life triggers and angry at the hamfisted handling of all the other serious topics in the story. I rage-skimmed that last 40%. #booksky #thebreakaway #bookreview #2025books

Review: Again, really enjoyed the STORY (plot) but the writing is average, not terrible, but just…writing? So 4.5 it is. #booksky #bookreview #ironflame #2025books

Review: A bit tropey but good world building and the end got a good gasp out of me. 4.5. #booksky #fourthwing #bookreview #2025books
