As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

Also think about the difference in impact here.
If you make under $13k per year, losing $1000 is DEVASTATING. That’s meals you can’t eat, desperately needed medical procedures you can’t get, school supplies your children can’t afford.
If you make $3+ million per year, $180k is just a third yacht.

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

As digital privacy advocates have explained for years, every back door you create for yourself is a front door for an attacker.
There's no chance code cooked up in a week by Musk acolytes is secure. The question is when, not if, the Treasury will be compromised by hostiles beyond Musk himself.

This is a backdoor. Elon's coders are creating a backdoor into the US Treasury. This is incredibly dangerous both because of its intended use (by Elon and Trump) and the risk of other actors exploiting a major security vulnerability to cause a massive disruption to the US government.

Senate is about to give a prestigious job to RFK Jr, a man whose anti-vaxx group had to pay nearly $1 million to women who accused him of sexual misconduct. There are other instances too.
Apparently, it is too much to ask that we don't reward men who abuse women.

Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was.

The United States of America is what -248 years old? And Jimmy Carter was alive for 100 of those, and pretty active for the vast majority of them, making so many positive contributions. Amazing.

Chuck Schumer should immediately announce Democrats will accede to Trump's wishes here and do away with the Electoral College once and for all.

Remember this the next time a billionaire says they want to get rid of the CFPB.
