The Trump administration wants to shut down all of Social Security over a ruling blocking 11 DOGE workers from sticking their fingers in your private data. 11 DOGE workers. 73 million Americans. This is illegal. If it happens, will force millions of seniors into poverty.

I spoke from the Senate floor today to condemn President Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. This Act allows the President to remove citizens of a foreign country that is engaged in a “declared war” or “invasion” against the United States - which is unequivocally not the case today. (1/6)

I know people are despondent and many are waiting for someone / something to rise up and fight the good fight. As I've said Superman's Not Coming. Get active and get active local. Citizenship is a muscle that has to be kept in fighting shape and there is a fight coming.

The FAA is facing its first major aviation disaster in 16 years without a leader because Elon Musk helped push him out. The former FAA administrator stepped down on Jan. 20th after Musk called on him to resign. Musk was angry after the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes.
