Donald Trump and Elon Musk are playing games with your Social Security benefits — money you've earned through a lifetime of hard work.

They want to fire workers responsible for processing checks and close hundreds of regional offices.

Not on my watch.
Senators to Trump Social Security nominee: 'You will be responsible' if benefits are interrupted
As the Social Security Administration cuts staff, that could impact the agency's ability to pay millions of benefit checks each month, Democratic senators warn.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more.
Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald, what, you had to bring a guy from the Russian state media in to watch you try and beat up Zelenskyy—and you thought that would make you look good? It made you look like the crook you are. Zelenskyy is a man that you will never be; he’s a genuine hero.

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets?

We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

The richest man in the world has seized control of federal spending and is demonstrably lying to the whole cabinet on television.
Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone

Musk says DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials say that’s not true.
USAID’s initiatives to fight Ebola and other diseases have been gutted, current and former agency officials said.

If you've never been part of a government procurement process, it might be hard to understand just how much of a "go to prison" thing this would have been at any point from 1946-2024.
This sort of comic book corruption is quite literally illegal in every single country in the world that has written laws. I don't even know what else you say about this, it's amazing

And so tariffs on now back on.

Because you can never trust a deal you made with Trump. And because if you agree to blackmail, you'll be be blackmailed forever.

But you know, at this point I say do it.
