If this doesn't scare you, you haven't been paying attention. How DOGE used Social Security data to push dubious fraud claims www.npr.org/2025/04/11/n...

Perfect summary of the situation. "Ecce Mono" indeed.

I think this is the first time in my adult life I've ever seen the market go up by 7% in less than 2 hours, yet I'm still scared shitless. He has more matches in his pocket.

Yes. Yes, it does.

Ari Melber @thebeat.msnbc.com , I instantly understood your reference to Prince and "party like it's 1930". You underestimate us. I'm sure it was more than 1 in 1000 who got it 👍

As if he hadn't already gone through his allotment of stupid policies this month 🙄 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/c...

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

Of course.

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social is the Editor-In-Chief of a highly respected magazine that has been in existence for 168 years. Trump has probably never read it. Not enough pictures, and too many words with more than one syllable.

I have a feeling it’s people like me (widows who are drawing on their late husband’s SS) who will be cut off first. 3/3

Naturally, I took his. It has enabled me to live a decent life and I feel that it’s money owed to me. He would be drawing it out if he were alive. But he always provided for his family, and I think I deserve to get what he paid into SS. 2/3

I am scared to death about changes to Social Security. I draw on my late husband’s earnings. It’s my only source of income. He worked his ass off for 40 years, paying into SS. He died at age 63. When I turned 65, SSA gave me the choice of drawing from his ($2700/month) or mine ($250/month). 1/3

I made a bad decision last night. Opened a fresh bottle of wine and took a big gulp of it every time he told a lie, insulted someone, or tried to be a stand up comedian. I've got an empty bottle and a terrible headache this morning.

#stateoftheunion I feel so sorry for that kid.

Al Green stood up and said "Shame on you, Trump" at the State of the Union—then got thrown out. If you believe more people need to stand up and get tossed at the SOTU for making good trouble LIKE👍REPOST🔁 FOLLOW💙

That's nice that he renamed that wildlife refuge. Too bad he just let Elmo fire the people who run it.

Need opinions: I closed all of my Twitter/X accounts a few months ago. Now I can't view anything that's posted there other than screenshots from X users. Since Elmo appears to be running the Fed government, and that's his method of communication with the masses, what do I do?

Not being a football fan, I didn't care who won the SB. But I'm getting really annoyed by the posts celebrating KC's loss for political reasons. Not everyone from KCMO, nor every Chiefs fan, is a Trump fan. Now, when does Spring Training start?? Go, Royals!!
