Just heard DOGE/Musk are cutting half of the staff at the Social Security offices in Alexandria. 40% of the staff in Rochester.
It’ll make it a lot harder for seniors to get help when they run into issues, which might be exactly what they want.

On Tuesday night, co-presidents Trump and Musk fired half of the workers at the Education Department.
On Wednesday, FAFSA - the financial aid application for millions of kids who want to go to college - went down.
That’s their idea of efficiency.

Donald Trump and co-president Elon Musk are shutting down the federal government, piece by piece.
And now Republicans have a shutdown bill that would make it worse.

Donald Trump said he'd abolish the Department of Education, and that's exactly what he's doing.
If you send your kids to public school, Trump is sending you a clear message: he doesn’t care about you.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this.
The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".
