The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

The Trump administration just shut down a food safety committee to prevent bacteria in baby formula. They are also threatening to fire employees who prevent deli meat from being infected with Listeria and applesauce from being laced with lead.

Trump's USDA will roll back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing. This will boost corporate profits at the expense of worker health and food safety. Last year's listeria outbreak tied to Boar's Head killed 10 people. We need more regulation, not less. Hello?

Who do you think is more likely keeping your lives miserable, your wages low and prices high…? Immigrants, trans kids, woke professors and antifa? Or the 800 billionaires who have hoarded 30% of the nation’s wealth? Cmon.

Donald Trump said he “won on groceries” in last year’s election. He said he would start bringing prices down “immediately” after being sworn in. Here’s how that’s going.

Make no mistake — by doing this, Trump is helping Putin cover up terrible war crimes in Ukraine. This has nothing to do with government efficiency and everything to do with bending the knee to a murderous dictator who Trump views as a role model. What a disgrace.

A bunch of twenty something DOGE staffers are deciding that phone support for the Social Security Admin is unnecessary. This will be the first step to cuts & skipped checks. If they can silence those with complaints & missing checks they can ignore them.
