This isn’t true. He is listed under the Politics section under Secretaries of State. They are doing a lot of horrible things but we need to watch the misinformation getting posted on things that can be easily fact checked.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Greed... To pay for that, everyone earning less than $700,000 per year will see an increase in their tax bill, and access to food, healthcare, transportation, housing, education, and clean air and water will be entirely cut off for tens of millions of American children and families.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

They never wanted “election security.” They wanted election victory by any means.

Is it time to fight yet experts telling us to “pick our battles?”

I agree they aren’t working within their mandate but they are a real office. Which means there should be oversight on what they are doing and how they are funded by Congress.

Welcome to the Health Insurance Marketplace® Welcome to the Health Insurance Marketplace®. Official government website.

They placed it in a real office. Read the executive order. He gave them the Office of Digital Services which was used to set up healthcare.gov and had worked on improving other government websites.

What would you have them do? What are you doing but talking? They don’t control the house the senate or the executive. Unfortunately elections have consequences and they warned everyone. Contact the republicans if you want this stopped.

There is a 57 page document in 2pt Arial font on Politico’s site that shows what is being effected and yes to all of those.

We will have to see how it plays out. China stood behind Colombia on this and the Colombian leaders are traveling here for talks. My guess is you will see commercial flights going forward and they let Trump save face by crowing like he won. But I could be wrong.

The Colombia President never said it was a security threat. Their concerns were there citizens were being handled inhumanely and they weren’t given notice of the flights or who was on them. It is a false argument to claim it was a security threat. They allowed 124 deportation flights under Biden.

I think your missing the point. Flying their citizens on a military cargo plane vs a commercial airliner and treating them humanely along with notifying them who is on the plane was the issue they had. These are human beings they deserve to be treated as such.

Just stop. Biden stepped in it on this one. We have to admit when we screw up. When asked about the bill when it was still in the house. He said if it makes it to my desk I will sign it. I’m a Biden supporter but we have to be able to call this out.

Missing the point many young people would have seen those things on the app they used for communication but instead a congress that can’t agree on anything pushed this through and took away their communication tool and for some their livelihoods. We all should be upset about censorship.

*without improving

Whether you like it or not Tik Tok had a huge economic effect on the US. It was a form of free advertising for many small businesses that can’t be easily replicated. It employed over 234,000 people in the US. Real lives will be effected because Meta wanted to maintain their Monopoly with improving.

I would love to believe that but Senators and Biden were on record saying they would vote for it and sign it when it passed the house. They are unfortunately responsible for it.

Maybe don’t comment on something you never used. It wasn’t just an entertainment app anymore than this one is. It was a global communication tool. This farce they put on opened people’s eyes that we don’t have free speech. Wait till Trump decides BlueSky is a domestic threat there is now precedence
