Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

I’ve been saying for almost a decade now that trump was recruited when he went to Moscow in 1987. He was $10 billion in debt at the time. An easy target. Over the next few years, his debts magically disappeared. Not coincidence. It was a plan. The plan has now come to fruition. Know the enemy.

AOC and a few others are taking this moment—this coup—deadly seriously. AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and Elizabeth Warren have risen to the occasion to not just resist legislatively in the near-powerless minority—they have answered the call to FIGHT—to LEAD a mass movement to shut fascists the fuck down.

On 22 February 1943, three young Germans, members of the White Rose Society -- Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst -- were guillotined by the Nazis for distributing leaflets speaking out against the crimes of the Third Reich. Their bravery, and their cause, will not be forgotten.

Donald Trump called Pres Zelensky a dictator. Elon Musk called the American working class "parasites". Remember: every accusation is a confession. Every single thing these profoundly fragile men do is a cope bc deep down they are insecure AF and filled with shame.
