Trump's $500 'Rebate' Checks Are Just a Cheap Bribe
The deeper story isn't the $500. It’s what happens to democracy when politicians steeped in pay-to-play politics start treating ordinary citizens like one more constituency to be won over with money…

Social Security Works @socialsecurityworks.org · 02/10/2026
How do we make billionaires pay their fair share into Social Security? By making them contribute at the same rate as the rest of us, all year long. Doing so would mean we could afford to protect and expand benefits through the rest of the century!
A graphic with a red filtered photo of Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Dean Ball. The text says, "Working-class people pay into Social Security with every paycheck. If AI oligarchs like Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Open AI’s Dean Ball, who called it “fraud,” contributed to Social Security at the same rate as the rest of us, we could protect and expand benefits for decades to come!"

My concern is that even if a judge orders this asshole to mail our ballots, that trump will ignore the court and sabotage mail ballots anyhow. He’s got a judge on the 3rd circuit who told DoJ lawyers to tell the courts to fuck off, and he’s deploying more election deniers to the bench.

Notable — Haley Stevens makes no outreach to Mallory McMorrow supporters, while Abdul El-Sayed explicitly welcomes them to his movement:
#MichiganSenate

Haley Stevens on Mallory McMorrow suspending her campaign 

“Anyone who raises their hand to serve the people of Michigan and puts forward thoughtful ideas for how they would lead earns my respect. Mallory McMorrow has been an important voice, both in this race and in the State Senate, for policies that benefit Michigan’s children and families, and I look forward to working with her in the future to build a stronger Michigan for everyone.”

“As we enter the final month of the primary election, I'm excited to continue to make my case to Michiganders why I'm the strongest Democrat to defeat Mike Rogers this November, lower costs, protect manufacturing jobs, and stand up to Trump's abuses of power.”Dr. Abdul El-Sayed Statement on State Sen. McMorrow Suspending Her Campaign

MICHIGAN – Today, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed released the following statement in reaction to news of State Senator Mallory McMorrow suspending her campaign for U.S. Senate: 

“Throughout this campaign, Senator McMorrow showed what it looks like to fight back against a politics that rigs the system against too many of us. While we have policy disagreements, I never questioned whether Senator McMorrow would fight for a better America for my daughters and hers. 

“The same party insiders she had the courage to challenge have been bullying anyone who opposes their chosen candidate. After spending $30 million to drown Senator McMorrow and me out, they’re now spending even more to attack me. It’s everything we are standing up against. 

“I welcome her supporters to our movement to stand up against money in politics, to put money back in pockets, and pass Medicare for All. We cannot allow the establishment to decide our nominee for us.”
