Social Security is not charity. People pay into it their entire working lives.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to rip it away—and I’m fighting back.

'To understand his intervention, is to understand obvious madness'.
As Trump threatens China with a 104% tariff, @mrjamesob.bsky.social breaks it down.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Donald Trump’s massive new tariffs mean higher prices and more chaos at the expense of American families—just to help pay for tax handouts to billionaires and big corporations.

Trump wants to give almost $5 trillion in tax handouts to billionaires and billionaire corporations — paid for on the backs of seniors, veterans, public workers, and little kids.
We can’t let that happen.
