NICE - something? 4/30/25 Ranking Minority Member of House Oversight Congressman Connolly VA sent 100 letters to Trump Admin for failure to respond to previous letters on transparency, DOGE, sensitive data, layoffs, emails…etc Reply by 5/14 (never) oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

SSA PRESS RELEASE 4/29/25 Nothing new, no permanent Field Offices closures, phones, firings. Overpayments no longer 10%. Didn’t say it’s now 100%. So a $2,000 overpayment that was SSA FAULT, see ya $2,000 not $200 of your next check, you get ZERO for their mistakes. www.ssa.gov/news/press/r...

LAWSUITS VS TRUMP There’s 210 lawsuits, 206 active, actually 100+ higher/student visa holders 1 case We are NOT losing these and they are NOT defying most. Trump policies being reversed, District Court losses, preliminary injunctions won. KEEP THEM IN COURT www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

SSA FIELD OFFICE CLOSURES There’s 11 out of 1,230 Field Offices. Two articles in last 24 hrs about “former SSA Martin O’Malley says major disruptions”. 1) This same story keeps being repeated for 6 weeks now 2) 50K is LESS than 75K employees. I think? www.ssa.gov/agency/emerg...

Trump wants to get rid of the “pork”. He did, 12,000 tons of pork that was supposed to go to China. Who hasn’t felt all of this yet, Alzheimer’s funding, tariffs, deportations, Federal job cuts, children, entire world. Judiciary targeting to amp up soon may be next. apple.news/AX9W2GIg1S_W...

Ziva misses this old furniture, new house, no more renting, new start. She’s my youngest by a lot, she’ll be fine.

I need to hear, get transcript for this case. Not just SCOTUS, but I’d like to ask Gov. Walz about this, maybe no input? KY has this girl who needs help with all ADLs and other accommodations in Special Needs. They move to MN who DENIES her help. Fed Funding issue also. apple.news/AsXXISPdAQbK...

SSA FIELD OFFICE CLOSURES There’s 13 out of 1,230+,37 tele-call centers, 169 Hearing Offices and 10 Regional Offices. Do not believe media telling you any different. www.ssa.gov/agency/emerg...

SSA PRESS RELEASES April 25 Good 4 AM Bluesky, in new house in new state, lots of work. Two of them, one their new secure Digital ID and second an appointed Operations Deputy Commissioner. He has 25+ yrs in SSA many in leadership. No more Dudek, “big balls” BFF? www.ssa.gov/news/press/r...

Next? KIDS Trump’s asking 9th Circuit for "en banc" review of 3-judge panel District Court ruling, gives funding to rep children in immigration cases. Less than 2% are given. It is usually used for complex cases, an ELEVEN Judge panel will hear the case. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

SS PRESS RELEASE 4/22 It’s “SS Month”, Biden, DEI, “sky high wait times, unconscionable delays”. REALLY? 15% short staffed, get rid of 7,000 more will HELP THIS? “help access benefits online, phones” (insert puke) 17yrs I quit because of DOGE. SICK JOKE RELEASE www.ssa.gov/news/press/r...

SUPREME COURT 4/21 “Certiorari Denied”, + “Rehearings denied” they will NOT take the case. Only 1 taken is USPS. Means lower court decision STANDS. Habeas Corpus denied, decision to detain individual stands. Not all F47 cases but I think we’re “winning”. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

I’ve had problems with “today” for 8 years now. Maybe a day will come where this no longer happens. With that being said, it’s going to be 80 degrees and “my three dogs” said we need a long desert hike today. Could be our last here as we’re moving Friday. I’m going to miss it here.

SS OFFICE CLOSURES As of Friday 4/18/25 FOURTEEN SS Field Offices were closed. This is out of 1,200. None of the 37 tele-service centers are closed. Three of the fourteen are back open tomorrow. Do not listen to media falsely reporting office closures. 14/1200 is it. www.ssa.gov/agency/emerg...

LAWSUITS V TRUMP They did it, 201 lawsuits and I’m certain more will come. Four cases closed, rest appeals. I’ll see if I can read some, but 70 degrees is great hiking weather and I’m moving next Friday…so. Nothing new on SSA front. KEEP THEM IN COURT www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

Visuals can be great at times, like this. Everyone reading this should….do your own thing. It upset me probably different than most. We need “Trump Death Clocks”, one for everything and one for military. 19thnews.org/2025/04/aids...

Holidays have been alone a while now, eight years. Dogs have helped a lot. Now is the time for me to change my ex-Fed crappy outlook and make this move work. 500 mile move in one week to a pueblo style house I’ll own, mortgage better vs 8 years of renting. 100-115 degrees for 5 months, G-BYE!

I shouldn’t have pinned Lawsuit post as it’s new. 2 pages, a Coming Soon one is really bad as OMB “no longer has to be transparent or notify Congress of spending.” Seriously - suggest a quick read or the actual new lawsuit is on page 2.

In Maness v. Meyers, (1975), the Supreme Court explained, it is a “basic proposition that all orders and judgments of courts must be complied with promptly.” U.S. Marshals Service, “it is the primary role and mission to obey, execute, and enforce all orders of federal courts. They are DOJ Next?

Something maybe to brighten up your day? Only two are mine, the others Saguaro National Park where all were taken.

ELEVEN of 1,200 SSA Field Offices closed as of today, all 37 tele-service centers open. The other day someone was screaming why they received a letter about a “telephone appointment”’ A telephone-service center employee vs a CLAIMS REP who can handle all is reason why www.ssa.gov/agency/emerg...

Maddow - double trash SSA day We have ALWAYS since Covid sent letters to actually scheduled a phone call. These phone calls are handled by EXPERIENCED CLAIMS REPRESENTATIVES vs a telecenter employee who has minimal experience. SS is very COMPLEX and elimination staff is the cause of this.

Maddow (will never need) daily trash Social Security segment, blamed this on SSA. Kristi Noem and Leland Dudek,acting Social Security commissioner - who SSA fired for sharing information ILLEGALLY with DOGE, hired by DOGE, given current job by Trump. They did this apple.news/AW70I7s-uRfW...

BIG Win, now we see. SCOTUS in a per curiam agreement (9-0) upheld US DC ordered Abrego Garcia return to the US ASAP. Opinion from Justice Sotomayor. Those radical left SCOTUS vs the “will of the people who voted for this moron’s agenda.” We wait, contempt? www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
