The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

If you actually knew how much 1 billion dollars was, you'd be a lot angrier than you are now. Where's the outrage?

The difference between $30,000 and a billion dollars is 1 billion dollars.

🖐️ Put a finger down if a billionaire has added more value to your life than the damage they've done with their extreme wealth-hoarding, wage theft, and climate impact.

Thought Experiment:
If you had $1,000 cash and I said you could own a nice single-family home but it would cost you 50 cents, what would you do?
Tough decision, right?
That's what spending $500k feels like to a billionaire. Fifty cents.

Billionaires get mad that they constantly get asked if they'll personally fund something because they think we feel entitled to "their" money.
I think it's funny that they think they're entitled to billions while the wealth gap continues to widen and suffering spreads.
Who's entitled?

DOGE has promised to cut 2 trillion dollars. They have reported 55 billion so far, 1.945 trillion away from their goal.
Jobs lost. Planes crashing. Eggs are $20. Small farms bankrupted. Children going hungry.
97% away from their goal still. Will we survive?

The difference between 8 billion and 8 million is 7.992 billion... so basically 8 billion.
If dollars were days, 8b would be 21,892,265 years, 2 months, and 8 days, while 8m would be 21,915 years, 4 months.
Adding 3 extra zeroes changes everything.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov why do you allow this to happen in your state? This corporation has purchased my property tax debt for a home I own OUTRIGHT without mortgage. They have charged me 12-24% interest & LAUGHED when I asked them to allow me to make payments.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ?
Then releasing it as if they discovered it ?
Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me.
Very Trump like too.
Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?
