If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the ACLU came and talked to us about our bill before opposing it?

Someone explain to me how Target Circle/similar programs don’t totally violate AB 5? It’s amazing how brazenly massive corporations skirt labor law knowing it will never be enforced against them.

Paying 90k for a very ugly glue job

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

Trump-Musk-Vance are closing a Social Security office in Mansfield, OH. The county Mansfield is in went for Trump 70.8% to 28.4% in 2024. Voters 65+ in Ohio overall went for Trump at a higher rate than voters in that age group did nationally. Caveat emptor.
