If every person who has a Republican Representative called them and told them they won't vote for them next term unless they stop supporting the regime they might shift to sanity.... Just saying. I'm a Dem and have Democratic reps.

Alex Lawson, executive director of the Social Security Works advocacy group, said the data removals “hide how much they’ve destroyed the system’s customer service.”
“If they think this lack of transparency will fool the American people, they’re in for a surprise,” Lawson said.

The changes are the latest sign of the agency’s struggle with website crashes, overloaded servers and long lines at field offices amid Trump cutbacks.

Here is an American living in Germany sharing some of the information from German magazines.
The US is not looking so good right now.

Below, just to keep my hand in a drawing-a-day, a sketch of the various shellacs and alcohol and dyes which I was working with. Sketched in a grey ink.
