Elon’s latest con is to force Social Security beneficiaries to use X. Shuttering the program’s regional offices and moving all communications to a single, unaccountable, insecure, for-profit social media company is just the next step in their scheme to enrich billionaires with our tax dollars.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

As someone who’s certified as a mediator/negotiator, mediation is always less expensive & creates better outcomes than the inevitable lawsuits that follow. This is “wasting money to save money” and completely backwards. But autocratic governments don’t want any conflict resolution except force!
