He's right. We can permanently fix Social Security for everyone by eliminating the cap.
Romney: "I long opposed increasing the income level on which FICA employment taxes are applied (this year, the cap is $176,100). No longer; the consequences of the [social security] cliff have changed my mind."
Hear, hear, Mitt.
Hear, hear, Mitt.
Mitt Romney is in the New York Times saying we should tax the rich.

We should note that yesterday Senators Durbin and Duckworth issued formal criminal referrals for actions by members of the Trump regime. I think this needs to become far more common as we must attach criminality to their outrageous actions, and not let it get normalized as just boys being boys.

I was not expecting a guilty verdict. I hope Judge Dugan is successful on appeal. I’m concerned about this emboldening this lawless administration.

Trump and Republicans claim they want to "protect children."
But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.
