Minutes after Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-IA, claimed in a telephone town hall that "we delivered ... no tax on Social Security," a caller says she's wrong – the tax on Social Security remains. The Republican concedes the point. Too bad the caller didn't ask her why she lied in the first place.
Mariannette Miller-Meeks admits ‘no tax on Social Security’ rhetoric is false
During a telephone town hall held last month, U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) admitted to a constituent that the One Big Beautiful Bill does not fully remove taxes on Social Security.

Now that House Reps Massie and Khanna have requested a special master to oversee the release of the Epstein files
The judge has ordered briefing:
"on whether the Court...has the authority to rule upon (or take action to bring about) DOJ's compliance with the Act."

This is about to get real:

In Trump's America, rich people can rip off innocent taxpayers and get a pardon. But the President was quick to withhold funding for social services, which doesn't actually hold criminals accountable.

It hurts the very people who are harmed by fraud in the first place.

Today, we were officially notified by USG that Pres Trump's memo that revoked my security clearance w/o due process is no longer in effect over me. My access eligibility to classified info has been restored.

On Dec 23, 2025, a federal court ruled his action was unconstitutional. Rule of Law wins!

Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next?

Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant.

That matters….
