The Trump White House official app is fraught with trackers. The White House app covertly collects excessive user data and shares it with third-party trackers while sidestepping federal security rules. For example, the app includes scripts to monitor a user's location several times per minute.

The US spends more on health care than other wealthy nations, yet it has poorer health outcomes– but we can get back on track and finally achieve universal health care. SSW President Nancy Altman’s new book The Road to Medicare for All: A Call to Action is coming on September 4th!
A graphic with the cover of Nancy Altman's book 'The Road to Medicare for All: A Call to Action'. The text says, "The United States spends substantially more on health care than other wealthy nations, yet it has poorer health outcomes. Nancy J. Altman, a tax lawyer and a former Harvard University faculty member who has worked in the legislative and executive branches of the federal government, has a 50-year background in the areas of Social Security, Medicare, private pensions, and related programs. She is the President of Social Security Works and Chair of the Strengthen Social Security Coalition. Altman, the author of four previous books, has appeared on PBS NewsHour, MSNBC, and FOX News. She has published op-eds in dozens of newspapers including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today."
