GOP used to call themselves the party of personal responsibility, but they’ve always applied that standard to others rather than themselves.

Wait. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Medicaid recipients could replace immigrant farmworkers. Is she daft? Does she have any idea why folks are on Medicaid? Or what’s involved in picking crops? My goodness.

Just making sure everyone sees what the former Social Security chief told CNBC on Saturday: www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...
Text:

Social Security has never missed a benefit payment since the program first began sending individuals monthly benefits more than eight decades ago.

But the recent actions at the U.S. Social Security Administration by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency are putting monthly benefit checks for more than 72.5 million Americans at risk, former commissioner and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley told CNBC.com.

“Ultimately, you’re going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits,” O’Malley said. “I believe you will see that within the next 30 to 90 days.”

Ahead of any interruption in benefits, “people should start saving now,” O’Malley said.

I cannot remember a moment in American history when our foreign policy shifted so dramatically & quickly. Trump doesn't want to be the leader of the free world. He wants to join the autocratic world. I hope the US Congress and the American people will prevent this switch.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several personality disorders. People with this condition have an inflated idea of themselves, and they need a lot of attention from other people. Their NPD may be more related to feelings of entitlement.
