Fantastic article from WaPo about how chaotic and stressful this year has been for SSA, both for employees and the people we serve. It also discusses some expected changes in 2026. This should be a gift link so hopefully you can all read it.
How Social Security has gotten worse under Trump
Customer service deteriorated by key measures as the agency enacted sweeping cuts in Trump’s second term, internal data and interviews show.

Thanks, John Roberts.
The Supreme Court greenlit Trump’s political prosecutions—even the ones that are illegal

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

The Epstein files went from being a hoax to a threat to national security if released.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

I'm sorry, Ms. Noem, but there's no evidence of this being true.

1. You've repeatedly chosen President over Constitution
2. Party over Country
3. Denied US citizens liberty
4. Denied justice for legal immigrants

On the morning of 9/11/2001, it wasn’t Democrats or Republicans that were attacked, but the United States.

Today is not just the anniversary of one of the darkest days in modern history, but a reminder that we are all Americans first.
