Social Security Employees Warn of Benefit Delays

Social Security Employees Warn of Benefit Delays

Social Security Administration (SSA) employees have said they are concerned about benefits payments being made on time due to staffing...

Got to give Doge credit for being the first to cut entitlements.  End telephone support for Social  Security,  cut dozens of SS offices and make Grandma and Grandpa finally get online to confirm their payments. 

What an amazing back door way to cut payments! Gonna be some upset seniors at town halls ! - Mark Cuban

Migrant Man Shocked That There Are Consequences For His Actions

Billionaire White House adviser Elon Musk suggested there is a vast conspiracy against him, the ultimate aim of which is his death and the end of Tesla Motors.

The Tesla CEO spent nearly $300 million to elect President Donald Trump and has steeped himself in far-right politics over the last couple of years. That includes his promotion of various conspiracy theories, including ones about Jews, the U.S. Agency for International Development, federal hurricane relief, the 2020 election, vaccines, Social Security, and many other topics. On Tuesday, he alleged another conspiracy is afoot – one that seeks his destruction.

The new "American Dream" is watching Musk go bankrupt, broke, and get deported.

I'd rather spend our tax dollars for Meals on Wheels than trump's golf addiction.

Finland has refused to export eggs to the US, citing regulatory hurdles and supply constraints, after the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) reached out to several EU producers amid skyrocketing domestic prices, local outlet Yle has reported.

The American market is experiencing a severe egg shortage due to a bird flu outbreak that has drastically reduced domestic production. Prices have surged by 200% from last year, reaching an all-time high of $8.41 per dozen, according to Bloomberg.

Tesla Stock Tanking, Again and Again...

Tesla (TSLA) was under pressure again on Tuesday, falling as much as 3.8% in midday trading as a slew of competitors in China announced updates that again signaled competition on the mainland ramping up for the EV giant.

Tuesday's loss follows a 5% drop for Tesla stock to start the week, and shares are now down over 52% from highs reached back in December.

 

Almost every major Trump action is intentionally illegal. Trump is gambling that the US democratic system is too broken to stop him. He assumes, to borrow a phrase: "All we've got to do is kick the door in and the whole edifice will come crumbling down."
