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...

There was a moment yesterday on CNN’s homepage where these stories lined up perfectly to make it look like Eric Adams has Johnny Bravo proportions and it made me laugh longer than it should have.

HE SENT THAT EMAIL TO THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS. Imagine being in a job that is consistently named one of the most stressful, you’re understaffed, & then you get an email from Elon Musk telling you to name 5 things you did last week like your entire job is not ACTIVELY PREVENTING PLANE CRASHES.

How much of Elon’s “tell me what you did last week” email is just him trying to feel powerful after he being outed as a deadbeat dad twice on Twitter and once in official court filings

Reading every news story is like “I’ve never heard of 18F, what do they do? Oh, they help other agencies improve their public service through technology, that’s great. And they’re mentioned in this article…because Elon Musk is illegally dismantling the agency and their work is coming to a halt.”

if you look at a bad thing that happened and assume, evidence-free, that it's because a Black person got a job they shouldn't have, you're not a "DEI skeptic," you're a dumb gutter racist

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

THIS. THIS is why people go into public service. Not because it’s glamorous or easy but because WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE. It is shameful the way this administration has treated our federal workers.

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Every so often, I check Clearsky to see if I’ve been added to any lists. Today, I found out that someone added me to a Cybertruck Haters list (which: true) but the weirdest part is they stole the banner pic from my profile & are using it as their own. I don’t even know what to think of that, tbh
