Chuck Grassley called out at a town hall: " Stop the use of the word ‘entitlement’ because it's insulting to all of us." 🔥🔥🔥
Fact:
Social Security isn’t the government’s money. Seniors earned their Social Security by paying into it over a lifetime of hard work.

This, in a nutshell, is why the Justice Department remains independent from the White House when it comes to directing criminal prosecution. A country that fails to take to heart the lessons of Watergate ends up with Trump.
If this were a report about any other country in the world, the headline would be something more like "Trump Expands Efforts to Crackdown on Political Opposition."
Trump Directs Justice Dept. to Investigate ActBlue, Democrats’ Cash Engine
The president ordered an inquiry into ActBlue, the main Democratic fund-raising platform, in his latest move using the government to target political opponents.

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Millionaires are officially done paying into Social Security for the rest of 2025 as of today.
If we want to ensure Social Security’s long term future, we must scrap the cap and make the wealthy pay their fair share.

How the Super Rich Are Killing Social Security | Robert Reich
Social Security taxes are rigged for the rich — and the program is in danger because of it. A CEO earning $20M/yr pays Social Security taxes on ~1% of their income. Meanwhile, a normal worker pays Social Security taxes on 100% of their income. How does that make any sense?
