“Democrats can’t win these folks over if they’re not speaking the language that young men are speaking,” says @ilyseh.bsky.social. “Most people I talked to, Democratic operatives, have never heard of Red Pill Fitness, which is just huge online.”

The real pain in the big bad bill is backloaded for after the midterms. That creates a messaging hurdle for getting through to voters what's happening. But voters already hate this legislation. The knife in the messaging just has to be made sharp. This WaPo chart is a useful guide.

BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse

Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.
