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?

Only giving the family money for Christmas this year. I have no Christmas cheer anymore. I wish all businesses had to tell us who they voted for—I wish I knew who everyone voted for so I could make more informed decisions about who I want to support and converse with.

The ACLU gets *zero* funding from the government.

A bit disconcerting that the fellow tasked with reducing government funding doesn't know that.

After I moved to Canada a couple of years ago I realized that I was no longer constantly running a massive stress routine in the background of my mind worrying about health care and guns. It was weirdly noticeable only when it stopped.

The most obvious way to cut debt is axing Republicans’ next $4 trillion billionaire welfare scam, but that would make too much sense. Instead, these goobers say cancer research is a waste. Subsidizing a dude’s third jet is okay, but helping a dude beat cancer is a waste. THE GREAT AMERICAN SCAM!
Seems bad.

Dear President Biden,

In the spirit of Dark Brandon, please use one of your Executive Orders to CANCEL ALL STUDENT DEBT.

That way, if trump wanted to reverse it, he'd have to disappoint all those families and reinstate all that debt.

You have immunity.
Just do it.

Signed,
