$72 billion in overpayments at Social Security between FYs 2015 & 2022? That is outrageous. Did USGAO investigate that? uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/theres-... #SSA #OMB #finance #audit But I sure wouldn't trust DOGe to figure out how to fix that.

While it's true that Democrats in Congress -- and especially the House -- have relatively little power right now, what they can do is use their local offices to find people suffering from Trump's policies, like this caller, and lift up their voices and tell their stories

If I were a governor that had to sit through 47's disgusting rambling today, I would refuse to attend any future gatherings of the governors. The USA is not a monarchy. He is not king of America. Legitimate laws are not made by executive order. Congress & Senate won't be sidelined by a tyrant.

Firing so many park employees was another stupid move. I worked for national parks. Not only are parks one of America's greatest treasures, but they bring in significant revenues. You just don't cut off the money-makers.

Superb piece by my friend @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social about supporting foreign criticism of Trump's America. It's not unpatriotic of us to feel this way. It's a rejection of fascism and an endorsement of the need for freedom around the world.
