Propaganda for the President wrapped up in an official gov't email account.

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:

Got a new game Vantage, I am totally sych'd about. Haven't been this stoked for a game since Gloomhaven. I hope it doesn't disappoint.

Received the below email today. Depending on your risk profile and tolerance for risk it is often not recommended to "register/RSVP" for protests.

Oops. I tripled down on my only 25pt question and got it wrong on Bloomberg pointed news quiz.

The Bloomberg news quiz, Pointed, did not show me this week how I did compared to others. That is very disappointing.

I did terribly. I also forgot to use any of my multipliers. This was my first game. I'll do better tomorrow. I scored better than 9%. LOL. I'm ready for "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" the NPR quiz show.

This was at one of my Jewish daughter's bus stops. In Massachusetts. The hate is so emboldened by the current regime. I expect this post to be improperly flagged and not be up long. If you check out the website, which you should not, it's all conspiracy against jews.

Livin' my best life. An espresso from our new Lavazza pod machine and laying out Gloomhaven - Buttons and Bugs. Both self indulgent Hanukkah gifts. I love my original Gloomhaven, so I expect Buttons and Bugs to just be easier to get to the table for one person.

God, I hate threads. It's like "who is your least favorite Disney princess and why?", "I love green grass what is your favorite thing?" and they have 1000 likes and hundreds of responses.
