Right now, millionaires and billionaires only pay into Social Security on their first $176,100 of wage income and not at all on unearned investment income.

The rest of us pay in all year long.

Say it with us: #ScrapTheCap!

10 Democrats joined the Republicans to censure Rep. Al Green: Ami Bera (CA), Ed Case (HI), Jim Costa (CA), Laura Gillen (NY), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Jim Himes (CT), Chrissy Houlahan (PA), Marcy Kaptur (OH), Jared Moskowitz (FL) and Tom Suozzi (NY).

Every one needs to be primaried.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Elon Musk has access to the lockbox that distributes $6 TRILLION annually.

He's not a government employee, elected or Senate-confirmed official. He owns multiple federal contractors.

What could POSSIBLY go wrong in FAFOville, USA now?

Elon Musk tried to access the Treasury. The guy who stopped him has left his job.

It is time for a third impeachment.

I missed this entirely:

The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines.

Musk demanded he resign.

He did.

On January 20th.
