A key reason the GOP Congress abdicated it's Article I powers to Trump is it allows them to evade accountability for decisions they don't want to make/be seen making MCs agonize over how one vote might tank their re-election. Trump is unaccountable--he can't run again and SCOTUS declared him king

In less than one week, many Americans will no longer be able to apply for Social Security benefits over the phone, setting the stage for disruptions and upheaval. Nearly 6 million seniors live more than 46.6 miles, roundtrip, from a field office, per a new analysis. trib.al/5XSPqyL

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not one colossal blunder where a reporter got info. The issue is it’s clear these people are all routinely ignoring the most absolutely basic security protocols, and WE HAVE NO IDEA what breaches this has already enabled.
