The relentless depravity and boundless greed of Trumps’s hand picked government and the reprehensible republican support of it cannot be overstated.

The mendacity with which Secretary Hegseth is doing this is quite something.
So Def. Sec Hegseth changed the name of Ft Moore back to Ft Benning. As w/ Ft Bragg, they found another soldier with the same name to make it seem like they weren't just changing the name back to honor a Confederate.
But you should know who Ft Moore was named for. 🧵

Now it's back.

If Congress had passed the Social Security Expansion Act just 4 years ago when it was 1st introduced, Musk would have paid $2.9 billion more in taxes. Social Security would be solvent for 75 years, benefits would have increased by $2,400 per recipient!

He said he would round up immigrants, said he would cut taxes, said he’d overthrow the constitutional order, said he’d go after political opponents using the power of the state. But the most aggressive austerity cuts in decades? Not a trace.
