I hv read that over half of those receiving social security are women. I wonder how many of those women are wives al? mothers who didn’t work outside the home. I don’t hear T T & company rushing to reward those women for their choices. They claim to value women’s “traditional” roles. Sure they do.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Harris Faulkner's Fox News show has been on for 20 minutes now. She has not mentioned tariffs or stocks once and a stock ticker isn't being displayed. Strong state media vibes.

How can anyone think casting millions of old people into homelessness and starvation is a good idea? I don’t manage the SSA. If there has been bad mgt, I am a victim. Not a perpetrator - or a robber baron who is looking for an excuse not to pay his debts. I It’s my money.

Almost 90% of US adults over 65 receive Soc Security. More than half are women. If Trump is so concerned for women, the most impactful thing he can do is NOT take away the Social Security we have worked decades for. To do so would make millions of old women homeless and hungry.

nteresting that when the need is perceived to reduce spending, the jobs and salaries of regular people are the first and most popular targets. Never any suggestions for reducing Congressional jobs, salaries, expenses. Maybe we should re-think that.

Well behaved Congressmen seldom save countries. We need to see every elected Dem making good trouble.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I feel like America got so bored being the world’s superpower it just chose chaotic self-destruction. Like a rich, idle kid getting hooked on heroin.

Any chance that if a comment on a post communicates the idea being expressed that we can skip arguing over grammar errors and stick to the point?

When you go to a production of King Lear, you aren’t really seeing a king. Just a man pretending to be one. He needs your permission to make the fiction work. As soon as you refuse to believe he is a king, he isn’t.

We need daily statements from the Dem opposition that summarizeo the latest developments and what Dems are doing in response. There is incoming from all directions. Timely official information is critical to avoiding hysteria.

The MAGAs who are saying the chaos, the tariffs, all of it , is what they voted for remind me of people who walk around with toilet paper stuck to their shoe while they talk real loud on their cellphone about how rich they are.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Where are the Dem elected officials? What is the Dem strategy? Stern words, interviews and social media posts do nothing. Saying he “can’t” do something that he is doing is meaningless. What are you DOING to stop this train!

The point is to wear us out. To make us lose hope so we give in. Stay strong. Believe in each other. Hold each other up. Don’t give them what they want.
