Taking health care from moms and babies just doesn’t produce quite enough money to shell out to corporations and billionaires, so he simply MUST dip his paws into grandma and grandpa’s Social Security too. The rich can never be too rich right? - ThreadSky

Taking health care from moms and babies just doesn’t produce quite enough money to shell out to corporations and billionaires, so he simply MUST dip his paws into grandma and grandpa’s Social Security too.

The rich can never be too rich right?

Elon Musk reiterated his intention to destroy programs like Social Security, which he has called a Ponzi scheme:

"Most of the federal spending is entitlements... that’s the big one to eliminate."

Senator, I simply cannot understand how this alien wannabe talk-show/pod host of dubious legality in this country is given even an iota of credence by MSM or members of our government.

I know money talks, but I wish someone smarter than me could legally just make him STFU.

Tina,
Please don’t vote for the CR. Filibuster!! Stop the destruction of our fed govt!!

USAID employees are being told to shred & burn docs. Firings. Selling off buildings. Closing agencies. It’s all illegal.

Fight for the role of Congress to perform its legislative & oversight role!!

secretoriginz.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is not enough. Too many people just don't know what's happening & the ones in a position to do something about it are not pissed off enough. Gutting Social Security & Medicaid will be like every crisis this country has ever faced times ten. You cannot imagine what it will look like.

yblent.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hi Sen Smith, where is your statement on the CR. As a constituent, I urge you to vote no and then negotiate for guarantees that the executive will stop impounding funds that congress has appropriated. It is your constitutional duty to defend the article 1 power of the purse.

When the Senate served as a “cooling saucer” or the “adults in the room”, I would not even think of saying “fuck you” to a US senator.

Then McConnell stole Obama’s SCOTUS nomination while the Dems sat with their thumbs up their asses.

So FUCK YOU to any Dem Senator who votes “yes” on the CR

When are dems gonna stand up and band together to fight this? Blue states need to withhold federal taxes, hit them where it hurts ($). They’re breaking laws every day it seems and no one is doing a single thing to fight back. Americans protesting can only help so much.

asnc20.bsky.social•1 day ago

Musk ignores how the $ got into the social security basket. It’s because we worked and it was taken out of our pay checks. He talks like soc security payments are some kind of giveaway.

Do we all get back all the money we invested in this “scheme” through payroll deductions from ourselves and our employers - with interest?

mikespangenberg.bsky.social•1 day ago

Senator, we are begging you to stand strong against this administration. No "aye" votes for any of their efforts until they stop behaving like autocrats. That means NO on cloture, not just on final passage of the CR. We are counting on you!

Republican moms and grandparents voted for this. They will need to figure out how to clean up their mess. They listened to the lies. They should have read project 2025. It is all there.

It's only partly about making the rich richer.

Cutting school nutrition, Medicaid, education funding, Social Security, etc. is as much about keeping people sick, stupid, and in their place.

I assume this means you will be voting NO on cloture as well as NO on the bill today? Please support your constituents and defend Medicaid.

And this is why you MUST vote against the CR. It's just providing cover for more of this lawlessness.
