Buffalo. Come for the wings, stay for behind the pool table. By Joel Walkowski in today's Detroit Metro Times.

"I haven’t spent that much time in Buffalo. I ate some wings, saw the Falls, and watched a couple making love in a dive bar get inexplicably told to “take it behind the pool table.” Still, it’s not that hard for me to imagine what it’s like to be a Bills fan. "

I truly believe that America is still a land of limitless opportunity. But only if we stick up for each other. My hope is that we will eventually get to look back on these past 20 years and say "what the fuck were we thinking?" Happy Independence Day everyone. #america #resist #organize #vote

This is some real North Korea level bullshit right here. And God help anyone who can't easily get to an SSA office and is trying to get through on the phone.

Text of an email from the Social Security Administration titled "Making Life More Affordable for America's Seniors":

This weekend, America celebrates its 250th birthday. For over 90 of those years, Social Security has provided financial freedom for America's seniors.

President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Administration are not only protecting Social Security, but we are providing meaningful and immediate relief to older Americans who have spent decades contributing to our nation's economy.

Just last year, on July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the Working Families Tax Cuts Act. This historic legislation included a tax cut that allows Americans 65 and older to keep more of their hard-earned Social Security benefits. Thanks to President Trump, over 35 million American seniors received an average of $7,500 in relief this tax season.

If you did not take advantage of the President's signature tax cut for seniors, I encourage you to review eligibility requirements through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website for next year's tax filing season.

Under the leadership of President Trump, we are protecting and strengthening Social Security while providing world-class customer service:
• In SSA field offices, we've reduced wait times by 30 percent;
• On the phone, we've answered calls 75 percent faster;
• We're meeting the needs of seniors in the digital age with 24/7 access to online my Social Security accounts;
• We've increased the number of personal my Social Security accounts to over 100 million users and have processed over 100 million more transactions this year;
• For disability claimants, we have reduced processing times by 25 percent; and
• Our efforts to prioritize efficiency, streamline our processes, and decrease wait times are saving Americans time while delivering the highest quality service.

Put simply, America's seniors are winning! I'm honored to be in your service.

Happy 250th birthday, America!

Frank J. Bisignano

What happened was all you really wanted was the slash social programs to give tax cuts to billionaires. If you have something to say about the Epstein files, shit or get off the pot. Otherwise it's all just more political performance art.
