Social Security Works President Nancy Altman: I've now worked on this program for 50 of those 90 years and I'll tell you the biggest threat Social Security has ever faced is Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and we have to make sure that they do not win.

The biggest threats to America's most beloved program are the greedy billionaires who want to steal our earned Social Security benefits!

I so appreciate @maxinefororegon.bsky.social with @maddow.msnbc.com talking about how the big town hall in her district moved her and convinced her to take stronger action in DC, walking out of the speech last night. Show up! Your reps are listening.

Protesting today at Senator Ron Johnson's Madison office on my lunch hour. There were about 500 people there. These cuts to Medicaid will kill people. PEOPLE WHO NEED TO LIVE more than billionaires need tax cuts.

Maddow is calling what’s happening with non-white anchors at MNSBC a bad mistake, unnerving, worse than bad, and indefensible. And she calls the dozens of producer layoffs “not the right way to treat people, inefficient, and unnecessary.”

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Stockholders of airline companies should band together to create a proposal that demands the corporations act on their behalf to stop the federal government compromising the safety of airplanes, passengers,crew, ground and the the surrounding area.
Time to call the airlines: What are you are doing about this.

Really want to fly in these conditions? Think of the?recent crashes which are being given less and less press-intentional?

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"
