The President is lying about Social Security as an excuse to gut Social Security after promising not to touch it.
Why? To pave the way for more tax cuts for the rich.

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?

It's not necessarily the most important part of today's Oval Office debacle, but Vance suggested that Zelenskyy has never thanked the U.S. for its support — and that's demonstrably ridiculous.

This new reporting is a very big deal.
The previously reported number for the amount of money Elon Musk has gotten from the government—us—was slightly over $18 billion.
We now know the figure is $38 billion.
When you consider how much of Musk's wealth is actually liquid—very little—that is a ton.

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?

We have a duty to disobey orders that violate law. If the courts say don’t do it, that’s a pretty good indication.
Most of us are not being asked to violate law, some are (e.g., financial assistance, Civil Rights and EEO laws).

Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich.
If we fail to address this, we should expect future Trumps as far as the eye can see.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, the corporate share of federal tax revenue was 32%. In 2020, it was down to 7%. Here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

More projection from this clown. Just because he couldn’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t. Not every job requires office space.
