Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

There are 12 chapters in Laurence Rees’s book ā€œThe Nazi Mindā€ people should know: Spreading conspiracy theories, using us versus them, leading as a hero, corrupting youth, conniving with the elite, attacking human rights, exploiting faith, valuing enemies, eliminating resistance, escalating racism, killing at a distance, stoking fear. When I use the word fascism I’m not being hyperbolic. I’m grounding it in a historical analysis of what leaders do when they want to be authoritarian. We didn’t even get to the naming. He wants his name on the US dollar, inside the passport, and his face on everything the American people touch when they interact with their own government. Washington wouldn’t have done that. Eisenhower wouldn’t have done that. Reagan wouldn’t. Obama certainly didn’t.

To every kid with a learning disability: don’t let anyone — not even the President of the United States — bully you. Dyslexia isn’t a weakness. It’s your strength.

TRUMP LOSES KEY IRISH GROUP OVER OBAMA SLUR President Trump has lost the support of Sean Pender, the leader of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the largest Irish group in America group because of his racist Obama comments_ Pender wrote::"The Ancient Order of Hibernians condemns in the strongest possible terms the racist depiction of President Barack Obama and Mrs. Michelle Obama as apes that was shared from President Trump's social media account. This is not a political statement, but a moral one founded in our Irish history and Catholic faith. We recognize this tactic because it was used against us as Irish Americans. As an organization founded to combat attacks against Irish immigrants, we know intimately the weaponization of simian imagery. For generations, our ancestors were caricatured as apes in newspapers, political cartoons, and popular culture; portrayed as violent, primitive, and less than human. The influential cartoonist Thomas Nast, whose work appeared inĀ Harper's WeeklyĀ throughout the latter half of the 19th century, repeatedly drew Irish immigrants with pronounced simian features equating them with violent primates. These depictions were used to justify discrimination, exclusion, and violence. They stripped our people of dignity and humanity. The claim that this video was merely an "internet meme" or that critics were engaging in "fake outrage" is both morally bankrupt and historically ignorant. There is nothing lighthearted about reducing any people to apes. This imagery has been used for centuries as a tool of oppression, designed to dehumanize and justify subjugation. It is not humor; it is bigotry. The subsequent walk-back, blaming an unnamed staffer and claiming the president was unaware, rings hollow. Leadership means accountability. As a leader, the President should be well aware that the captain of a ship is responsible for all who serve under him. When this content appeared on the president's account, the president bears responsibility, regardless of whom he empowered to press the button. The initial defense of this post by staffers as harmless reveals either a shocking ignorance of history or a willful disregard for human dignity. The Ancient Order of Hibernians is a nonpartisan organization. We do not endorse political parties or candidates. But we cannot—and will not—remain silent when any human being is dehumanized through the racist imagery that once targeted our own community. An apology is owed. Not for political expediency, but because it is right.Ā The dehumanizing of people as apes was wrong in the 19thĀ century, it certainly as no place in the 21st. We call on all people of conscience, regardless of political affiliation, to reject such dehumanization wherever it appears and whoever perpetrates it." ### About the Ancient Order of Hibernians Founded in 1836, the Ancient Order of Hibernians is the oldest and largest Irish Catholic organization in America. We promote Irish culture and history, defend the Irish and Catholic community, and work toward a free and united Ireland.

14 cyclists died on Irish roads last year, the fourth highest annual figure this century and double the number of cycling deaths recorded in 2022. All we ask is for a safe space. ā€œThat could be my child, my brother, my sisterā€ is a good way to think about overtaking safely.

EU regulations don't apply outside of the EU. Our digital life, our own rules. Our kids' safety, our citizens' protection.
Bracing, diligent work here by House Judiciary, corroborating what we already know: companies censor American users to appease foreign safetyism. Look forward to engaging on this at Munich.

Yes, he did. There is video.
No he didn’t, Libby. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a ā€œpiece of iceā€ because that’s what it is. You’re the only one mixing anything up here.
Community note
President Trump said "Iceland" in his remarks multiple times when speaking in reference to Greenland. youtube.com/watch?v=aj387T…
