The official White House rapid response account is just blatant lying. No taxes on Social Security is not in the bill.

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.
Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Hey @cnn.com , as one of the estimated 3.5 MILLION+ protestors today, I want to know why this isn't your top story? If we were pro-Trump, would it be newsworthy? Found one mention at the bottom of your top news page; been watching you on TV for some time with no mention whatsoever. 😡😡😡

@maddow.msnbc.com I know there were huge protests everywhere, but the turnout here in Woodstock, Georgia, was particularly unbelievable. They estimate 1200 people showed up in a town of 30k that voted 70 percent for Trump! The largest protest I've been to here before was generously 40 people. 🌊
