I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

Passed hour 21. Booker looks energized. I think he's going to break Strom the Hater's record. This is one for the history books.
I'm stunned that he's still casually cracking jokes and talking cogently and being incredibly conscious of the rules of order 18+ hours in to this marathon.
Booker surpasses La Follette to claim the 4th longest filibuster in US History.
I know it's cringe as heck, but there's a reason The West Wing was so popular and maybe we could do with a few of these West Wing moments.

Hi. I’m an expert in modernizing legacy government software systems. This is profoundly stupid and will definitely fail, and it’s just a question of whether our social security system fails along with it.
SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me.
The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Apparently when people like Rubio claimed to be opposed to Castro's authoritarianism it was the Castro part they opposed, not the authoritarianism part.
A stunning assault on the First Amendment
Before Rubio's confirmation, senators and pundits acted as though he was a "sane," "rational," "normal," "moderate" nominee. He's constantly showing himself to be a right-wing extremist.
