If you’re a journalist writing about the Kirk murder and you don’t know what the Groyper Wars are, I beg you to find someone who knows what the Groyper Wars are before you write your article

As a kid, my family used to spend Labor Day weekend camping with a few other families. The moms did basically everything, and the dads' "help" often wasn't. Like when my dad tried to reheat pizza by putting the box over the fire. Or spent a whole day rigging up a mini TV to watch a football game. 1/

Today is an important day. The day that a modern social safety net began to take shape. The SSA created OASI, the AFDC (ADC at the time), and the earliest form of our UI system. The SSA wasn't perfect. Its programs directly and indirectly excluded African Americans at first...

If Democrats fight to protect our democracy and protect people's health care this fall during the budget negotiations with Republicans, Americans will be on our side. The country doesn't want a dictatorship and they don't want 40% insurance premium increases.

Duty! Toward one's fellows! A Rooseveltian vision the US could stand to reembrace.

Today’s a great day to remind everyone that Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625%, which is far lower than private sector retirement programs.

Yesterday the Social Security Administration sent a highly misleading & political press release about the tax bill to my work account, where I'd signed up for SSA updates.

Then overnight I got it again, this time to my personal account. And I heard from lots of others who did, too. 🧵

This should be a career-ending vote. h/t @ericmgarcia.bsky.social
