No, 150-year-olds aren't collecting Social Security benefits. Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud; but there's a much simpler explanation.

Miami neighborhood of Brownsville gets ICE Raid
"They just came, and they snatched her,"
The man's wife, who is Venezuelan, was in the process of obtaining her U.S. Citizenship before being detained.
A strongman and a dictator are one and the same.

The bird flu is spreading to more than 50 mammal species and putting food supplies at risk.
H5N1 is airborne and spread by migratory birds, making it hard to control.
Despite culling millions of birds, the virus spreads, raising prices and increasing human cases.
This is a global health crisis.

Democrats plan to focus on President-elect Trump’s billionaire allies as they gear up for a fight over his proposed tax cuts. It’s a strategy that suggests that President Biden’s farewell warning about an emerging “oligarchy” could have some resonance.
If Democrats Attack Trump’s Rich Pals as ‘Oligarchs,’ Will It Stick?
