Imagine how much of a piece of shit you'd have to be the richest man in the fucking world, and yet still spend your time making sure poor grandmothers don't get their social security checks.
So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

Of course fentanyl isn’t a WMD. Also: The first time I heard the words “weapons of mass destruction,” I was a young person hearing propaganda about why the US should go to war with Iraq. That was all bullshit, too. This language is invoked to justify violence on a massive scale. That is alarming.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.
