Great NYT piece on Elon Musk's takeover of Social Security and stealing our data. It also documents how he knowingly pushed absurd lies about 20 million people over age 120 getting benefits www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u... Don't worry, Musk is being rewarded with billions in government contracts.

Welp, the federal minimum wage is now officially a poverty wage (as in, a full-time worker earning the federal minimum wage gets paid less than the poverty line for a single person). www.epi.org/blog/the-fed...

My latest for @epi.org. Nearly everything we know about education comes from the National Center for Education Statistics. We depend on NCES to properly evaluate how our schools are or aren't working. Here are five data points we only know thanks to NCES: www.epi.org/blog/trump-a...

There are over 80 million phone calls to Social Security each year. Cutting phone service will cut benefits. Social security needs more people answering the phones, not fewer

🚨🚨🚨 In another example of DOGE’s destructive and erratic form of “governing,” the NLRB told its employees today that agency credit cards are considered frozen for at least the next 30 days. This throws any NLRB election or trial that requires overnight travel into question.

Yesterday I testified in full House Ed & Workforce committee on "Unleashing" America's workforce and strengthening the economy. (I was clear that none of the administration's priorities have anything to do with unleashing America's workforce or strengthening the economy.)

At a time where so much speaking up and out happens within the safety of social media, it is inspiring to witness the courage it takes to stand up and speak directly to power. May we all rise to our moment with Rev. Budde bravery over the next four years.

Here's a thought - the media could stop covering everything Musk posts on X like it has some official significance. Last time I checked he was not elected to anything and has no official power. At this point why not headline the random X posts of other 53 year old men with political opinions.
