We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about.

Given DOGE’s f#ckery at SSA, I am not thrilled that the “SAVE America Act” aims to compel states to purge voters via SSA’s Number Verification system & DHS’s SAVE program, which accesses the SSA system.
