Despite what Elon Musk says—Social Security is NOT a Ponzi Scheme.
Social Security is a PROMISE that the American people should be able to count on after paying into it their entire lives. Repost if you agree.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road.
NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B.

DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up
A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

"I spent past year and a half with The Lincoln Project... There, I learned some of the hard-line messaging tactics R's have used for decades to defeat Dems. R's know how to define opponents early, sharply, and relentlessly—exactly what Dems need to do."

Dear Democratic Members of Congress:
Please do not waste time trying to convince people to calm down about the things Trump says.
We've learned that the Trump often means the things he says that "reasonable people" tell us to ignore as mere distractions.

This gave me goosebumps.
“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.
A man came up to her and started talking to her.
A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”
How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!”
We need each other.
