No, Elon. 40% of people who call Social Security's 1-800 number are not fraudsters, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme & nobody who is 150 years old is getting a Social Security check. Stop the lies. Stop the disinformation. Get your billionaire hands off Social Security.

It is unfortunate that most Americans will not know or care about this issue until Trump persuades the Supreme Court to abolish agency independence, gains absolute power over the Federal Reserve, and crashes the economy. But that’s the direction in which we are ineluctably heading.

Pushback to the lawless Trump must come from all segments of society—business and labor, elected leaders, ordinary citizens, lawyers, librarians, former officials, etc.—of whatever political persuasion. We must unite on a single issue: Will we have a Constitution? open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.
