Social Security's insolvency date is now a year earlier. Here's how it could impact your benefits. Social Security is dipping into its trust fund to pay current retirees, with spending outpacing its revenue from payroll taxes.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS.

How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share.

Iโ€™ve got a bill to get it done.

Continue to speak up and call them out. Make being vulgar and horrible bad again!

He would have been an embarrassing stain on the event. Iโ€™m sure heโ€™ll spin it, but itโ€™s the absolute right thing to do.

But we canโ€™t be complacent. We must keep showing up and showing out. Calling every. Little. Thing. Out.

Karen Bass: "There is no comparison [with the 1992 riots]. And unfortunately that is what is being pushed, as though the city is in chaos, there's civil unrest everywhere. For most Angelenos, they're like, 'What city are they describing?' They are definitely not describing Los Angeles."

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

To those saying that Padilla โ€˜deserved itโ€™โ€ฆum, no. Even if he was just a citizen in there asking a questionโ€”even pointedly asking itโ€”he did not deserve that treatment.
Government works for US, or at least they are supposed to. They need to be held accountable by us. Padilla IS us. Period.

So, this is effing INSANE. And also, this energy from ALL electeds is what we need right now. Eff the goons that surround that plastic byatch.

Anyone notice how the weather is just wrong all the time now? I look at the app and itโ€™s just wrong.
Just one more way that our reality is being altered. So effed up.
