Everyone can tell you used AI to do it. They just aren't saying anything about it because they want to be polite. (Do you know someone who needs this thought to pop unbidden into their head?)

House Republicans Pitch a Plan to Cut Social Security to Billionaire Donor Harlan Crow

If Republicans want to cut our earned benefits, the American people deserve for them to tell us that to our faces, rather than weaseling around the job they were elected to do, and for which they earn a handsome salary.

by ALEX LAWSON - 23 September 2026

This Monday, House Republicans held a hearing focused on creating a closed-door commission to cut Social Security and Medicare. The hearing was for an audience of one: billionaire donor Harlan Crow.

That’s the same Harlan Crow who infamously treated Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to lavish vacations, along with donating millions of dollars to Republican candidates and causes.

The person who thinks that he has the ability to decide which science to fund out of hundreds of subfields is exactly the person who should not make that decision. There is a reason that expert committees of scientists review and give recommendations for funding. No one person can know all of it.

The problem with 21st-century Democrats is they've failed to do nearly all the good things they've had the power to do; the problem with 21st-century Republicans is that they are world-historical mass murderers, thieves, and criminals who are helping destroy the fabric of global democracy

Screenshot of a pop up on a phone. It says: Allow Al content
When on, music labeled with the Al badge will be playable. To prevent Al-labeled music from playing, switch this off. (Tracks will appear greyed out.) The option is turned on.

Screenshot of the confirmation box. It says “Are you sure?
Turning this off clears your current queue.” And the two options are “Not now” and

CBS news was what made me aware of the war in Viet Nam. It's what gave me the moon landing and the Watergate scandal. I was too young for Murrow's "good night and good luck", but vividly remember Cronkite's "and that's the way it is." All that trust, squandered in no time at all.
