Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.

Social Security is earned by Baby Boomers. Social Security is earned by Gen X. Social Security is earned by Millennials. Social Security is earned by Gen Z. We have to protect Social Security for current and future generations!

How do we make billionaires pay their fair share into Social Security? By making them contribute at the same rate as the rest of us, all year long. Doing so would mean we could afford to protect and expand benefits through the rest of the century!
A graphic with a red filtered photo of Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Dean Ball. The text says, "Working-class people pay into Social Security with every paycheck. If AI oligarchs like Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Open AI’s Dean Ball, who called it “fraud,” contributed to Social Security at the same rate as the rest of us, we could protect and expand benefits for decades to come!"

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Rep. John Larson (D-CT) has a long record of fighting for working families. He has a 98% voting record with AFL-CIO. He’s endorsed by over three dozen unions and the Working Families Party. AND HE IS SOCIAL SECURITY’S #1 CHAMPION IN THE U.S. HOUSE.

Some super-rich people would be slightly less rich if we had Medicare for All, and that’s why they’re preventing us from having it.

Hey, remember when Fauci privately told a reporter on Feb 7th 2020 that Covid was "more deadly than even your strenuous flus... This is deadly stuff" but then told a public press conference on Feb 27th 2020: "This is a flu. This is like a flu"? Oh wait! That was... Donald Trump.

The United States is the ONLY country where medical bankruptcy exists. In the richest country in the world, no one should face financial ruin because they got sick. Medicare for All is the solution.

Hunter Biden: "I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

No President in History has ended the same war so many times.

Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.

No President has ever done this before.

And he is nowhere near finished ending it.

It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

A graphic with a photo of Robert Reich. The text says, "A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap."
