Social Security Works President Nancy Altman: I've now worked on this program for 50 of those 90 years and I'll tell you the biggest threat Social Security has ever faced is Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and we have to make sure that they do not win.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

A graphic with a photo of Elon Musk and Donald Trump sinisterly smiling at one another. The text reads, "Social Security has survived wars, pandemics, and recessions. The biggest threads it has ever faced are Donald Trump and Elon Musk. We have to make sure they do not win. – Nancy Altman President of Social Security Works"

The biggest threats to America's most beloved program are the greedy billionaires who want to steal our earned Social Security benefits!

I so appreciate @maxinefororegon.bsky.social with @maddow.msnbc.com talking about how the big town hall in her district moved her and convinced her to take stronger action in DC, walking out of the speech last night. Show up! Your reps are listening.

Protestor in Madison WI holding sign with Sarah Kendzior quote "when wealth is passed off as MERIT, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatize that let people die, not those who struggle to live"

Protesting today at Senator Ron Johnson's Madison office on my lunch hour. There were about 500 people there. These cuts to Medicaid will kill people. PEOPLE WHO NEED TO LIVE more than billionaires need tax cuts.

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social quote - she is my truth teller and inspiration.

Wow @maddow.msnbc.com thank you for your very strong, very heartfelt words just now to, and about, MSNBC.

Maddow is calling what’s happening with non-white anchors at MNSBC a bad mistake, unnerving, worse than bad, and indefensible. And she calls the dozens of producer layoffs β€œnot the right way to treat people, inefficient, and unnecessary.”

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
-Eleanor Roosevelt

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Stockholders of airline companies should band together to create a proposal that demands the corporations act on their behalf to stop the federal government compromising the safety of airplanes, passengers,crew, ground and the the surrounding area.

Trump is laying the groundwork to torpedo California's high-speed rail project, which has been a mess but still holds promise for the state
