😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

Social Security does not add to the national debt. It is even prohibited by law from borrowing money. Politicians who talk about cutting or changing Social Security to address the debt are lying to you. Here is how Social Security funding works: Social Security is funded by payroll taxes. When more money comes in from payroll taxes than benefits that need to be paid out, Social Security is obligated to invest the surplus in Treasuries. Treasuries are bonds. Governments and corporations issue bonds to generate money. A bond is a loan from the purchaser to the issuer. A bond has a principal, a maturity date, and an interest rate. The principal is the value of the bond. When you buy a bond, you pay the principal. When the bond reaches its maturity date, the issuer is required to pay the principal back to the holder. The interest rate is the amount the issuer pays to the bondholder. It is similar to how, when you take out a 30-year mortgage, you agree to a repayment schedule and to pay interest until the loan is repaid. As Treasuries mature, if Social Security doesn't need that extra money, it rolls them over by buying new Treasuries. When Social Security needs more money to cover benefits, it cashes out Treasuries. The federal government has had a deficit for the past 25 years. This means that when it has to meet its obligations, it needs to borrow money. This is how people claim that Social Security adds to the debt. That is ridiculous. Companies and countries buy US Treasuries. You and I can buy them. Anyone holding a Treasury when it matures isn't increasing the debt. The government’s unbalanced budget is causing the debt. Cutting Social Security will do nothing to get the US out of debt, but it would create hardship for millions of Americans. Social Security currently has a shortfall, primarily because people are living longer and the large Boomer generation is retiring. In 1960, there were 5.1 people paying into Social Security. Today, there are only 2.7. The trust fund from past surpluses is keeping it afloat, but it is running out. The easiest way to address the shortfall is to remove the tax cap on Social Security. Benefits do not have to be increased to do this. This is exactly what was done for Medicare in 1993. The tax cap was removed, and benefits weren't increased to better fund the program.

🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: Mike Johnson PANICS after a recorded conversation is released exposing the House Republican plan to CUT Medicaid, Medicare, AND social security for millions of Americans. They denied it. The recording just blew up the entire lie. EVERY American should see this.

THIS IS INSANE 🇺🇸 Out of 45 U.S. presidents in history, President Trump is now solely responsible for 27.7% of the national debt.

Meta gave $950K to get you elected, and then, literally the next day, laid off 10% of its workforce.
This is an important step. Worker displacement is not a foregone conclusion. The AI economy cannot be built on the backs of workers. Californians deserve strong protections, real accountability, and public safeguards as technology evolves. We cannot stand idly by while Donald Trump strips states of the power to enforce standards while refusing to establish any of his own.

Erin Brockovich is back, and this time she's coming for the AI industry, calling out Big Tech's data center boom as the next great environmental shakedown of American communities. She launched a self-reporting map at brockovichdatacenter.com, and within a week over 1,600 residents had filed complaints spanning noise pollution, skyrocketing utility bills, and serious water depletion concerns. The pattern she's seeing looks awfully familiar: corporations dangle promises of jobs and tax revenue, municipalities wave projects through with minimal environmental review, and the people who actually live there get left holding the bag. The water issue alone should be setting off alarm bells. Data centers gulp enormous amounts of water to keep their cooling systems running, and some are being planted directly above critical aquifers. As Brockovich put it plainly, "Wasting heat is wasting water. We can't afford either." The technology to capture and reuse that waste heat already exists, it's just not being required. That's a policy failure, not a tech failure. A recent Gallup poll found that 7 in 10 Americans oppose data centers being built in their communities, with many saying they'd rather live near a nuclear plant. Brockovich's demand is straightforward: if Big Tech is going to drain public water supplies and jack up utility bills, the public deserves full transparency. "If you're using public resources, the public has a right to know how much. Sunlight is the best disinfectant."

2019: Becerra wouldn't join the antitrust case against Facebook 2026: Meta (formerly Facebook) is spending $950K to install him in Sacramento Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t want me in office, because I will work for you, not tech oligarchs.

Today Meta laid off 10% of its workforce. Yesterday they gave $950,000 for Xavier Becerra. We can't let AI turn a few billionaires into trillionaires while putting millions out of work. That's what tech oligarchs want. It's why they're backing a corporate Democrat.
