BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.
DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse

The first major race of 2025 is fast approaching—and the implications are enormous. This election will determine the balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Susan Crawford is fighting to preserve her seat while her opponent, rightwing extremist Brad Schimel, is trying to grab the tie-breaking vote.

Unlike other social media sites, Bluesky allows users to create their own algorithm. The site does not have ads, nor harvest data for artificial intelligence training. But it is still very small and has an unproven business record.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

I'm going to start working on this, and will add to it as more major media outlets join Bluesky.
I expect the pace to pick up very soon and very significantly.
Major media has let us down significantly over the last ten years, but it's still vital to know what's being reported. go.bsky.app/2JyEju6
