My father drowned when I was nine years-old. Fortunately, my mother's great head for family finances & her decade+ service as an RN and Captain in the USAF meant we didn't _only_ rely on Social Security. It sure helped. It gave her breathing room to renew her nursing license & grieve. These people.
Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

One voice can be very very loud.
And by being so, it can inspire others to speak up too.

Would very much like to thank Joanne Freeman @jbf1755.bsky.social for her pointing out that Bishop Budde was one voice, just one, speaking to power and it was amplified across the media.
Don't give up.
Don't stop speaking the truth.
Resistance is NOT futile.

If folks are looking for less ancient examples of very high top marginal tax rates, one need only go back to 1963, when Donald Trump was 17 years old and America was (presumably) great the way it should be again, when the top marginal tax rate was 91%.

This is an important thread for journalists to read. I'm looking at you too, @npr.org folks. The discussions I've heard about Biden's pardon of his son including ideas like, "that will make it even easier for them to 'x'," don't acknowledge their complete disregard of norms. Please cover reality.
I don't want to get all "buckle up" but there are two things I see a lot that are kind of related and I want to comment on them.

Discussing blanket pardons draws us off of the real issue, the concern that Trump will pervert the criminal justice system & use DOJ as a political tool, which is forcing the Biden administration into these considerations. Don't forget why we're here.
