You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Coming to realize this is a smoking gun worthy of big Maine headlines.
We all know Susan Collins coordinates votes w/ GOP. The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. But most folks don't know that. And have we ever had explicit proof from a named source in the room? I don't think so. #MEpolitics

I'm suddenly reminded of the scene from Revenge of the Nerds when the asshole jocks literally throw the nerds out of their dorm after burning down their own frat house.

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

I was born in 1968. During my lifetime women finally received the right to safe, legal abortions. During my lifetime women lost the right to legal, safe abortions. And if the SAVE Act goes through many married women will lose the right to vote due to changing their names. I'm one of them.

.@slifty.bsky.social called the Social Security Administration to get a typo fixed on his kid's card, and the recording says applicants have to wait 6–8 months to have their benefits application processed.
That is *more* than enough time for the average American to slide into homelessness.

The opening salvo is for any poor souls who are waiting to hear back about their disability applications.
They are told they will have to wait between 200 and 230 days to hear about the decision.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Trump administration officials said the company donated the internet service, saying the gift had been vetted by the lawyer overseeing ethics issues in the White House Counsel’s Office.

The President is defying court orders and claiming to revoke his predecessor’s pardons — so perhaps our media and political leaders should name this as the growing constitutional crisis it is?

Literally lighting the entire American soft-power apparatus on fire built over 70 years in the space of two months. And Congressional Republicans are a-okay with this.
News: Journalists at Voice of America were just informed that they’ve been put on administrative leave. Two people there told me this went to all fulltime employees.
“From what we can tell, VOA is effectively shut down from this moment.”

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Had to limit notifications after responding to someone that Newsome is attempting to appeal to more voters on the transgender in women's sports issue since he thought Repubs made it a losing issue for Dems. So I am now fascist, decrepit & dying, & a whole lot more negative things. OK, bluesky.
