REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still: •Has his job •Gets paid, and •Gets free world-class healthcare The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets all three as he needs it most.😐

In 1985 in a Vancouver airport, a man Karen-ed the employee at a check-in counter until she agreed to defy policy & check his baggage through despite him not being confirmed. He didn't board, the bag was a bomb, it killed 329 people. But "the customer is always right" survived.

This week, with no notice or explanation, attorneys can no longer call Social Security Administration field offices. They are being shunted to the call centers, who can't talk to them if it's been more than 60 days since a case has been decided. cc: @kathleenromig.bsky.social

The Social Security Administration has announced that their employees agency-wide will no longer have advance leave of any kind, sick or annual. They already took away working credit, which enabled employees to earn extra leave. @kathleenromig.bsky.social

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

I thought it was odd last year that SSA’s watchdog didn’t directly get at total phone wait times at SSA. Turns out a draft had that info, but it was taken out, per @merylkornfield.bsky.social, who writes that the OIG is trying to maintain a good relationship with the head of SSA.

This week, the #SocialSecurityAdministration has said employees can't telework bc the public benefits from hands-on, in-person contact AND there's no reason work from one field office can't be shopped out to offices across the country. SSA truly is ASS-backwards. cc: @kathleenromig.bsky.social

Midway through Fahrenheit 451, we learn that the U. S. government has launched a series of unprovoked wars against smaller countries, just because it can, while the population is so hypnotized by amusements & devices that hardly anyone knows the wars are taking place.

“Every hour so many damn things in the sky! How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn’t someone want to talk about it! We’ve started and won two atomic wars since 2022! Is it because we’re having so much fun at home we’ve forgotten the rest of the world? Is it because we’re so rich and the rest of the world’s so poor and we just don’t care if they are? I’ve heard the rumors; the world is starving, but we’re well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we’re hated so much? ... Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damn insane mistakes!”

Social Security Admin staff are being verbally instructed to share information about in-person appointments with ICE, contradicting SSA's written policy and decades of precedent. Worse, recent policy changes are forcing millions more noncitizens to visit SSA offices. www.wired.com/story/social...

In functioning democracies, ministers resign all the time, under threat of a no confidence vote in the parliament. We have a system where legislative confirmation totally fails ex ante to screen out wildly unqualified people, & ex post accountability depends on a toothless extraordinary measure.
