What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

There are over 30 thousand assisted living facilities in the U.S.—housing designed for seniors who need help with activities of daily living, but don’t require continuous skilled nursing. Because our population is aging, our concern about the inadequate biz model will be relevant for many years.

Moves to assisted living are event-driven. Families & advocates make decisions in their weakest, most emotional moments. They should be aware that they’ll be challenged by organizational changes, new medication procedures, remote care, & rising fees.

The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.
