We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself.
SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then.
Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

I told you all @jeffbezos was feral. He’s now killed the Graham/Bradlee legacy of justice, the First Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense, testosterone fueled (and HGH) double talk that is more than a little pathetic and utterly shameless.

Did you know wolves are absolutely essential for a healthy ecosystem?
When wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone the entire system reacted. Small animals became more abundant. Birds began breading more. Rivers changed, small carnivore populations increased.

"So this is not “game over.” In fact, the Republicans have not even begun to see what we plan to do. What if I, and a whole bunch of others are, right now, devising a plan for all of us to Take America Back Again. I’m up for it. How about you?" ~ Michael Moore

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

No, we don't need investigations. We don't need Senators posting on social media. We need you to literally grind everything to a halt in the Senate & get in front of microphones on the Capitol steps calling for the fascists to resign & your GOP colleagues to vote with you to impeach & remove them.
It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.
He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.
Congress must investigate.

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Full Access to Treasury’s Payments System
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

Frances Perkins was a trailblazer who (with some help from my grandmother) advised FDR on shaping the New Deal, including Social Security, the minimum wage, and so much more. Love to see the new national monument honoring Secretary Perkins’ legacy!
