‪@jenpsaki.msnbc.com‬ - my heart is breaking too and I appreciate your emotional reaction to the Minneapolis shooting.

Oh @jenpsaki.msnbc.com, your White House Briefing sessions on @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social are pure gold. More please. You have been, and always will be, the most informative, witty, and sassy WH press secretary.

@maddow.msnbc.com - I can't even handle the thought of not having your insights and overall editorial judgment every night. Would you stay if MSNBC would let you work from home? #maddow

Please watch #Maddow tonight. You don't have to be an IT expert to understand the absolute nightmare that DOGE is unfolding as I write this.

I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

Social Security is in freefall.
You can't take back your Trump vote, but help us stop this nightmare threatening social security (they're cutting 87% of staff), & protections from contagious diseases, plane crashes, & grabbing innocent people off the streets (no due process, no judge, no jury.

Don't want to put unreasonable demands on you @maddow.msnbc.com, but we really are going to need a cocktail moment after tonight's show. #maddow

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

A MUST read.
So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

and they want to do it ...

... in *a few months*

I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...

... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here

THE COURTS HAVE TO STOP DOGE FROM ATTEMPTING TO MIGRATE SOCIAL SECURITY OFF COBOL TO JAVA IN A FEW SHORT MONTHS.
"This is going to put the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk. www.wired.com/story/doge-r...
DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base 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.

We need more Michigan State Senator @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social please! Thank you @keithedwards.bsky.social for great interview with her. Senator McMorrow is a rising star because she's smart, direct, a great listener and doesn't suffer BS.

How about this simple comms strategy? 7 loud, articulate dems spread out in red districts (AZ, GA, MI, PA, WI, OH, FL) 1 day EVERY week. Message Week 1: An invasion & theft of Soc. Sec. by foreign billionaire. Week 2: Trump hired foreign billionaire to fire thousands of vets & cut their benefits.

Know anyone on social security benefits? If a couple payments didn't come, would they shrug & say, "oh well, must be a mess-up & my payment will come next month? No biggie.

Trump's Commerce Sec., Lutnik, says that's what his mother-in-law, a "legitimate" Soc. Sec. recipient, would say. However ..
