Musk is either totally ignorant or very high. Something is wrong, he's not even able to effectively put together a sentence. This man has no business messing around at the top levels of our governmental agencies.

I think people are going to have to rise up. Having a billionaire come in and say he's going to dismantle and basically steal all of the money that hundreds of millions of Americans have put into this system is unthinkable.

In an interview with Joe Rogan last night, Musk claimed that Social Security is "the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time" and said he intends to dismantle it. Musk laid out his plan in detail, starting with the illegal firing of thousands of Social Security staffers who manage the payments system.

They are literally destroying the country.

Trump and Musk are messing with Social Security by demanding 15% cuts to staff. “We are already short-staffed as it is. Right now we are working on applications generally from 2023-ish.” These Trump and Musk Social Security cuts could mean that "easily the wait times will be extended by one year."

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

About those checks Elon is promising...Bloomberg News calculates that based on DOGE's $9 billion in savings, each American would receive a check for a total of $11

We all should be calling all senators to demand this be done. There are a million reasons why what musk and his band of child hackers are doing is wrong but there can be no argument that he is way too conflicted to continue receiving government contracts.

Until there is a standard where people / organizations can be held to account (financially at least) for spreading lies and misinformation this kind of lies will continue. The dissemination of these lies is what got us where we are today. No elon, not truth just another lie.

Let's face it, the media, the "Fourth Estate" has let this country down. They were more concerned with sensationalizing the news than doing any real reporting. I seriously doubt most would be willing to give up access for principals. They have proven that already.

I did not know this. Really changes things. I support Ukraine 100% and have from day 1 but if this fact were better known I think that support for Ukraine would still be at the same level it was when Russia first invaded. Good job main stream media, good job...

Another issue for calls to reps. I call my reps (dems) just occasionally to say thank you and keep it up but try to call two reps a day that are republican. I pick a topic of the day & point out to them that I don't need to be in their district to donate money or time to back a primary opponent.

For those of us making daily calls (and I hope that is everyone) I think we should add the WH to the list and let it be known both the payments to musk and trumps weekly jaunts are wasteful and an abuse of the system.
