If Musk compromises the Social Security Administration in any way, millions of Americans could miss their checks.
If Elon is all about transparency, he should drop by
House Oversight and tell the American people why he's messing with their social security.

Granting an unelected, unaccountable billionaire donor unchecked power over hard-working American taxpayers’ personal data and their EARNED benefits is not transparent. Period.

Empty promises of transparency today from Elon and Trump at the White House.
Their words don’t mean much when you fire someone for accurately reporting that $500 million in food aid was going to spoil because of DOGE.

Before Rosa, there was Claudette Colvin
On March 2, 1955, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin was arrested when she refused to give her seat to a white woman on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was inspired by school lessons on the Constitution during Black History Month.
