This is informative. Thanks
Funeral Director here: People who pass away don’t receive social security checks once the agency has been notified. We fill out a form (SSA-721) and fax it directly to social security.
Elon Musk is lying to you.

🚨 Trump’s DOGE purge just made Veterans’ data a massive target.
They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed.
This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.

Thanks to Elon Musk, college-aged kids-one of whom touted he was “racist before it was cool” – have access to your personal data. Read it again.
Musk’s DOGE team got access to Americans’ SSNs, bank info, & more. There’s a lot to unpack. Join me @10aET on #Velshi w/ WIRED’s @zoeschiffer.bsky.social

I asked Elon’s Grok 2 the question of whether and how you could destroy the country through insane trade wars and hijacking Treasury’s payment system.
And I must say, what I got back seems to be a fairly good analysis.

This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information.
This violates privacy laws in every state. Hopefully, state AGs will file suit & pursue criminal charges.

Stating the obvious: tariffs are a regressive tax on the poorest Americans.
A company pays the tariff, and raises their prices to get that money. That price is paid by the consumer.

Trump’s tariffs are a tax increase for Minnesota families, plain and simple.
While Trump raises prices, I’m proposing the first sales tax rate cut in our state’s history to help Minnesotans weather the storm.

We are getting reports of a run on eggs at Costco locations throughout the country.
