Everyone who has paid into Social Security:

1. Create a Login.Gov account.

2. Go to the Social Security page and log in.

3. Do screen caps of your Earnings Record.

4. Because it may not be there tomorrow, thanks to Elon.

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

~ Hall and Oates on tariff deals

The effort hinges on a surprising new tactic: repurposing Social Security's "death master file," which for years has been used to track dead people who should no longer receive benefits, to include the names of living people who the government believes should be treated as if they are dead. As a result of being added to the death database, they would be blacklisted from a coveted form of identity that allows them to make and spend money.

What a grim paragraph www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

Hubris run amok…👇

A play in two acts.

EU, China start talks on lifting EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, Handelsblatt reports The European Union and China have begun negotiations on the abolition of EU tariffs on imports of Chinese electric cars, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported on Thursday.

The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.

This is a major strategic failure for the United States.

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this.

We can't. We need answers.

📍📍📍 San Bernardino, CA 📍📍📍 💔💔💔 hashtag#A578124 💔💔💔 She Doesn’t Even Cry Anymore — She’s So Broken Inside 💔 She doesn’t face the world anymore. She’s turned away, pressed into the cold wall like maybe — just maybe — it will all disappear. This tiny 12-year-old girl is so broken, not just in body but in spirit. Her world is pain: an ulcerated mammary gland, a cataract clouding her eye, itchy skin that no one treats. But worse than all that? She thinks no one loves her. She thinks no one ever will again. In a stark kennel corner, a small, frail Chihuahua huddles in absolute silence — her body turned inward, her face buried against the wall. She doesn’t look up. She doesn’t move. Her speckled gray coat clings tightly to bones that should never be this visible. The scene is eerily still, heartbreaking in its simplicity. Concrete walls, sterile and cold, press around her like the world has shut her out. It’s not just fear in her posture — it’s surrender. Animal Details: 🐾 Breed: Chihuahua – Smooth Coated 🐾 Gender: Female 🐾 Weight: 12.81 pounds 🐾 Age: Approx. 12 years old 🐾 Medical Conditions: Ulcerated mammary gland (right side), cataract (left eye), skin allergies 🐾 Deadline: MUST BE RESCUED BY 04/11/2025 Please don’t let this little soul disappear without ever knowing peace. She’s tired, but she’s not gone. Not yet. A quiet home, a soft blanket, a human who says, “I see you”… that’s all she’s ever wanted. Share her. Save her. Show her that her life still matters.

I wonder what Martha Stewart would say about all the insider trading going on at the White House.

When they loudly scream the quiet part in market manipulations.

South Sudan cholera patients died walking to clinic after US cut aid, charity says Eight people in South Sudan, including five children, died on a three-hour walk to seek medical treatment for cholera after U.S. aid cuts forced local health services to close, the UK-based charity Save the Children said on Wednesday.

Marjorie Taylor Greene bought $275K in stocks after tariffs were announced.

Interesting timing, huh?

Martha Stewart went to prison for far less.

I’m saying this in my capacity as an author and once and future library worker:

Read whatever the hell you want.

I cannot impress enough on you that the “important” books aren’t important if you don’t jive with them. The popular books, the canon, the whatever. Read what you want.

ICE: "We must punish immigrants for NOT paying taxes!"

IRS: "But they do pay taxes."

ICE: "Well, then help us punish them for PAYING taxes!"

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs.
That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result.
