Anyone surprised? DOGE and Musk wanted in the SS system, not expecting a high rate of fraudulent activity, but to obtain information on every American to ultimately use in upcoming elections. There was a reason the Gov used several layers of security and used the COBOL programming language.

No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It’s not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there’ll be

📌At his core, Donald Trump is nothing but a weak, fragile baby who was never loved, and has spent his entire life making that everybody else's problem.
Taking a secondhand Nobel Peace Prize and calling it his own, has to be the single-most pathetic thing I have ever seen.

I hope today serves as a wake-up call for Americans. Whether it was ignorance, hatred for those different from themselves, or the inability to recognize the unfolding events before their eyes, we must finally comprehend the direction our country is headed. Like authoritarian regimes

A deep, profound, and dangerous madness has over taken the leadership of our country.

I was hoping to wake up to the news that the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good at point blank range had been arrested and that Noem had been impeached for blatantly lying to the American people. The only domestic terrorist here was the ICE agent. It’s disgusting.

Trump has an imperialistic agenda that includes Cuba, Columbia, Mexico and Greenland. It’s clear he likes working with authoritarian leaders because he views democracy as a threat to his power.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

The Republicans continue to remain silent as usual while Trump and his minions continue to abuse their power, diminishing any remaining respect countries around the world may have had for our country.
