Here’s something we can actually do! It’s time for a change.
I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader.
We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

I don’t think we can afford all the money this administration says it’s saving for us…
So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?
International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy.
Sorry, *was.

The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.
