Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,
🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: a clip going viral shows Greg Bovino’s orders to ICE agents in Minnesota, saying “this is OUR fucking city” - and pushing mass arrests. He promises “trailers of that shit,” meaning tear gas.
This is why people are dead. Share this everywhere.

When Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis, he says he was detained and shackled for hours.
“We're turning into something that I can't even begin to respect, and something that I literally went to war—or they told me I went to war—to fight against,” he says.
Since he was arrested, he’s continued protesting. Mother Jones senior reporter Julia Lurie spoke to Austin outside the Whipple Federal Building, where ICE is based.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
BREAKING: ICE now appears to be using the LRAD (long range acoustic device) weapon at close range against peaceful protesters in Minneapolis.
People exposed, especially at close range often suffer from:
•permanent hearing loss
•tinnitus (constant ringing)
•ruptured eardrums
•vertigo & balance problems
•migraines & nausea
•panic responses
Alex Pretti’s last words: “Don’t touch her!”
“Are you okay?”
Renee Good’s last words:
“I’m really not mad at you dude…”
And this administration wants you to believe these fellow Americans were “domestic terrorists.”
This must end. Abolish ICE.
I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come.
This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES: ICE agents in Maine just photographed a civilian’s face and name and said they’re putting it in a database.
When the woman asked why, the agent’s response was basically: “Now you’re considered a domestic terrorist.”
This is intimidation. Not law enforcement.
BREAKING: Over 100 priests arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE in Minnesota where today it's -21 degrees outside MSP Airport.
The clergy gathered in prayerful solidarity to demand airlines — especially @Delta and Signature Aviation — cease contracting deportation flights to DHS.
So far, over 2,000 deportations have gone through MSP, per organizers.
@united I took one of the many flights you run a day between LGA and ORD this morning. Not only did we taxi for 25 minutes, but now we’ve been waiting for our bags for 15+ min. Chicago is your hub. The customer experience here should be better, not worse.
