Trump and Musk’s Plan to Destroy Social Security Started Tuesday Night
It starts with cutting staff at the Social Security Administration. That will sow confusion. Then it builds from there.

Listening to Hakeem Jeffries talk about not swinging at every pitch makes me want to scream! Just hat pitch do you WANT to swing at, Hakeem?? The dismantling of the constitution? The picking of Russian assets and insane Psychopaths to the Cabinet. Compromising our personal computer info?

Breathtakingly dishonest, even for a scumbag like Vance. Since it's pretty clear that Yale would never teach bullshit like this in law school, Vance is just lying to undermine judicial authority for all the rubes, who will quote him on Facebook.
