Why Social Security is in the worst crisis since its founding in 1935, and what you can do about it
robertreich.substack.com/p/why

"Please call your #senators & #representatives today and tell them you want to save #SocialSecurity by adding back staff #Musk has fired... and keeping Musk’s hands off Social Security.

The #Capitol switchboard operator is at (202) 224-3121. An operator will connect you directly with the #House and #Senate offices you request."

#DEMOCRATIC #SENATORS have got to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk!

#CONGRESSIONAL #DEMOCRATS must #SUBPOENAELONMUSK!

#DEMS must hold their own public probes of #ElonMusk #Musk #DOGE in front of cameras, even if the hearings are in a broom closet at the #US #Capitol!

#SheldonWhitehouse #AmyKlobuchar #DickDurbin #ChrisCoons #ChuckSchummer and #TammyDuckworth, to name a few, have been talking tough for years while slow walking #USA into #FASCISM hand in hand with #Republicans.

The #DemocraticParty had #4YEARS to #PROBE #JaredKushner and #IvankaTrump and the #2BILLION #Kushner and #Trump illegally acquired from #SaudiArabia yet they did #NOTHING!

#SENATE DEMOCRATS #FAILED to hold even #1HEARING on #DonaldTrump #Trump #CRIMES WHILE IN OFFICE!

The #FAIL of #JoeBiden and #MerrickGarland's #DOJ is matched only by the #FAILURE of #SENATEDEMOCRATS!

DEM SENATORS have proven they care more about maintaining the #StatusQuo than #Justice and #Liberty for #All.

#SUBPOENAMUSK!

Donald Trump Backs His Co-President; Says Attacks On Tesla Dealerships Will Be Treated As ‘Terrorism’
techdirt.com/2025/03/12/donald

"Only attackers of this one company will be treated as domestic #terrorists, even as the hundreds of literal #DomesticTerrorists who raided the #Capitol building for the sole purpose of preventing a #democratic election from happening now roam free, thanks to Trump’s blanket #pardon."

#Connecticut Senator #ChrisMurphy announced prior to Tuesday night’s Joint Address to #Congress that he would not be participating in a glorified campaign rally for #DonaldTrump. Fed up with the president’s self-serving embrace of #authoritarianism abroad and #oligarchy at home, the #Democratic #senator signaled that he was not going to sit in the audience at the #Capitol and pretend that things were normal. It was the right decision.

"Turbulent Times" ... my latest ... a look at the #USCapital under #stormy #skies but with our beautiful #flag flying in all her radiant glory.

Not meant to be political ... just an observation.

Digital art, not Ai, based on a photo taken by my son, Rich Bryan, several years ago.
