DOGE has come for Social Security in the U.S. That’s what right-wing populism does: it takes from the many to enrich the few. This aligns with the establishment’s interests, not against them. Solidarity with Social Security activists in the U.S. and beyond.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Trump: "We are also going to Ft Knox. I'm going to go with Elon. Because we want to see if the gold is still there. Wouldn't that be terrible? ... we open the door, we'll say, 'There's nothing here! They stole this too!'"

Trump lies his ass off at CPAC: "77 million [votes] and it's actually much more than that, because despite that, they cheated like hell. It was just too big to rig."

Another six-byline alarm on DOGE’s specious accounting. “That contract wasn’t canceled by DOGE or anyone else,” he said. “If they took credit for canceling the contract, they’re lying.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

OMB director Russ Vought has officially begun carrying out his section of Project 2025. Technical thread to follow, but it’s really important - this is a major path through which the Trump administration will illegally impound funding, refusing to carry out some of our spending laws.
