DOGE is now insisting that Social Security close down their phone lines, and redirect seniors to the Internet and to the regional offices (which they are CLOSING DOWN). So - can your mother manage the Internet? What are you going to do when YOUR parents' Social Security checks stop coming?

If I could speak to billionaires quivering in fear, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some money worth sacrificing your dignity? If I could speak to Republican politicians, I would ask: Is the risk of losing an election worth being remembered as a coward?

News Analysis: In a span of only 50 days, President Trump has done more than any of his modern predecessors to hollow out the foundations of an international system that the U.S. painstakingly erected in the 80 years since it emerged victorious from World War II.

I’m old enough to remember the Repubs in the Senate using the filibuster on things such as voting rights & reproductive rights! The Senate Dems should hear from their constituents ahead of the vote… the R’s should be forced to negotiate & the only way is if they filibuster and hold the line.

Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today. Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

It’s becoming very clear that the Trump Admin never had any interest in serving as an honest broker to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The plan was always to join Russia and others in plundering the Ukrainian economy like a 17th century colonizer.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies. So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed? For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
