Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

Literally the only Republican in Congress who is not afraid to say this. Even despite the threat here from Trump’s campaign manager. They can’t get votes on the merits, so they always resort to threats. Trump rules his party with fear, and they are all terrified- except Massie.

BREAKING: Fox News' Maria Bartiromo has begun to brainwash her viewers into accepting cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. None of this is acceptable, and all Americans need to be aware. Make sure everyone sees this.

The contemptable Marco Rubio is asking UKRAINE for concessions, not Russia. Like Churchill asking Charles de Gaulle, "So which parts of France are you willing to give to nice Mr. Hitler to make him leave you alone?" I'm kidding! In no scenario is the incompetent Marco Rubio Winston Churchill.

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

MAGA lacks all critical thinking skills. Why would Ukrainian hackers target Twitter with a cyberattack? I mean… In what universe would anyone in Ukraine want to inflame tensions even further? Especially when Elon Musk is using thinly veiled threats of cutting off Starlink? 🤦‍♀️

Elon fires hundreds of Twitter employees and Twitter goes down. Elon fires air traffic controllers and planes go down. Elon goes on a DOGE rampage and the stock market goes down. Elon regulates his own SpaceX and its starships go down. I'm sensing a pattern.

Sounds like Trump’s team spent a lot of the day trying to placate panicked GOP members of Congress. Republicans are freaking out about the market, a potential recession, and midterms. Ray Charles could have seen this coming.

If you think Donald Trump or the Trump administration cares about Veterans, you are likely still a member of his cult...and not the brightest person in the world. Perhaps you've noticed the veterans around the country who are protesting this dumb son of a bitch.

For those supporting this obscene violation of due process and expansion of governmental overreach to detain and deport legal residents without due process, please research authoritarian regimes. Today they'll use it against a group you don't like, but it will be turned on you tomorrow.

Every man in my family was a vet back to the civil war. My uncle was shot down by Nazis. My other uncle spent his life in the pentagon as an admiral and is buried in Arlington. Please watch this man and think of Pete Hegseth and every man who gave the last full measure and how Trump betrayed them.
