Republican’s did this. Say that. “The Senate” falsely spreads the blame around. Also: nowhere in this story does it say that every single democrat VOTED NO.

Teachers. Firefighters. Cops. After 44 years of Reagan’s cuts to their Social Security, Joe Biden just restored their benefits. This win for working people came thanks to unions, President Biden, and bipartisan support led by former Rep. Abigail Spanberger.
Last night, President Biden signed the Social Security Fairness Act, the biggest expansion of Social Security in decades and a huge win for teachers, firefighters, and cops!
Next up we expand benefits for everyone and pay for it by making the ultra-wealthy pay the same rate as the rest of us.

Republicans say they will cut $2.5 trillion in federal spending.
The only place to get such an amount is from mandatory programs like Social Security and Medicare.
Make no mistake: the GOP will pay for their next round of tax cuts for the rich by gutting your earned benefits.

Call for $2.5 Trillion in Cuts Proves GOP Wants to 'Steal Our Benefits' | Common Dreams
"Nearly 60% of mandatory spending is for Medicare and Social Security," noted one expert. "If they don't touch those, they'd have to cut Medicaid to the bone."

If Democrats push this hard enough, there’s a good chance Trump puts Elon in Gitmo
@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co: "Right now, we have President Elon Musk. And Donald Trump—maybe he's vice president. I guess vice presidents don't do much, so that makes sense. He might be the chief of staff. I don't know what you call him, but he is not calling the shots."

I am once again asking writers to engage with how the campaign actually operated, and not just the right-wing fantasy of the election cycle.
Kamala Harris and the Dems focused on bread and butter issues: health care, the economy, worker rights. Every anti-immigrant or anti-LGBTQ ad was by the GOP.

Most Americans agree racism and sexism are problems. Yet identity politics were not salient enough to swing the election, writes Conor Friedersdorf. “If Democrats renounce identitarian stereotyping and discrimination,” their coalition and America will benefit:

I feel like we need a new phrase for “religious freedom expansions” which sounds positive but can in fact lead to infringement on the pursuit of happiness by others.

What happened to America?
Part of the answer is that a bunch of people whose lives range from fairly comfortable and uneventful to wealthy and influential worked themselves into an insane lather of victimization by things that aren’t real, and that this justified a vicious, anti-democracy response.

Some on the side that just won the presidency and the Senate, retained control of the House, and enjoy a Supreme Court majority believe they are on the verge of losing access to credit markets based on their political beliefs.
