In his confirmation hearing, the Social Security head said he’d keep enough staff to ensure Americans would get their Social Security checks and get them on time.
Just weeks into the job, he’s reportedly broken that promise. I said I’d hold him to it, and that’s what I’m doing.
The Social Security Administration has gotten behind on claims after letting thousands of workers go in a DOGE-driven purge. huffpost.com/entry/elizabeth…

If DOGE actually wanted to cut waste, it would address the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.
1/ Let me explain why the total destruction of USAID - happening as we speak - matters so much.
China - where Musk makes his money - wants USAID destroyed. So does Russia. Trump and Musk are doing the bidding of Beijing and Moscow. Why?
