My mother raised me to have compassion for immigrants, undocumented and otherwise, to look out for the poor and vulnerable, and otherwise embrace liberal values that enable everyone to achieve and be their best - it was the best gift she ever gave me.

I think domestic terrorist attacks are useful to this regime. Attacks against the left wipe out members of the left, whereas attacks against the right foment the Maga masses.

It's pretty unusual that an insurance program covers an event that happens to most people at a known date (if lucky enough not to have already died) - so it's no surprise to me that people don't think of it as insurance.

Excellent - thank you! Those that want to privatize SS also love to also say that the govt is stealing or borrowing money from SS to fund wars, tax cuts, etc. Once you've laid down all the basics, please address this claim that is rampant on social media - my liberal friends share it all the time.

I am tired of the FB memes claiming that Congress has stolen money from SS to pay for wars, tax cuts, etc and that’s why SS is at risk. They are distorting the fact that the trust fund is invested in govt bonds, and those bonds finance deficit spending. How about setting the record straight on this?

Very appropriate. I am using “vile” more than any other word lately - I will amend it to “wicked and vile”.

Yup, and Rep’s will go around or tear down the filibuster too.

I think this is horrendous, but if it's going to happen, let's have it happen earlier so that Rep's can't avoid accountability in 2028, and hopefully 2026.

I'm seeing the Kennedy Center comments video, not Putin.

I agree that they would need to do that, no question. At the same time, they will get blamed for ballooning the deficit. They will also get blamed by voters if they don’t extend the tax cuts.

With proposed timing - tax cuts now and expiring when T leaves office, Medicaid cuts after leaves office, I'm afraid voters won't punish R's in 2026, 2028 for Medicaid and other cuts and will appreciate the tax cuts, even if minor compared to what the rich get. Shortsightedness is the American way.

The regime has made it clear that they only care about three things: (1) lining the pockets of billionaires and corporations, (2) restoring and strengthening white supremacy, and (3) destroying all institutions that can protect citizens from the impacts of the first two.

I wish I could get that far away from the current regime.
