COBOL is a genuinely archaic programming language. But trying to do this in a rush is INSANE. And you can bet a huge, huge number of things are going to break. Even in very simple code bases, understanding the levels of dependencies built up over decades takes a huge amount of time.
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.

Thank you, someone who's been there, done that. Not just a talking head.
Listen. Just listen. This is Susan Rice, our former National Security Advisor who knows what is supposed to happen and why the likely reasons Signal-gate occurred (“lazy, reckless, and trying to evade the Presidential Records Act!”).

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this?
Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

Destroying Tesla cars is an act of terrorism?
But Donald Trump pardoned all the people involved in January 6th storming of the capital people were injured people died and he called them good people.
There is something very wrong with this country.

“You’re going to end up all alone with just a bunch of cats” isn’t quite the insult you think it is! 😹

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Musk is rich because you gave him $38 billion in tax money to make that.
He is happy to tell you what you don’t need.
He’s also picking a side in foreign policy, and it’s not our side

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown.
Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down.
Why vote to legitimize Trump's coup?
