Trump's BLS pick EJ Antoni has said that Social Security, America's greatest anti-poverty program, is a "Ponzi scheme" that needs to be sunset.

Reminder that BLS data is what determines annual cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security benefits.

This is a five-alarm fire.

@lawler4ny January 6th lots of law enforcement were touched and interfered with.

Staggering amount Trump golf jaunts have cost American taxpayers is revealed https://t.co/YasEPBOGOO

@RepCasar Good for you! Keep speaking the truth!

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

[Sean Casten @SeanCasten]

If you are a Senator right now confirming ANY Trump nominee who will not unambiguously defend their oath to the Constitution even if that means standing up to Trump you are completely misunderstanding the risk of this moment.

[Sean Casten @SeanCasten]

This is a 5 alarm f-ing fire. We work hard not to shut government down in Congress. Trump has decided he can do by fiat out of petulance and blind allegiance to the Project 2025 crowd. You either enable him or stand up to him in this moment. There is no other option.

[Matthew D'Amico @MatthewDAmico1]

@SeanCasten Keep speaking truth to power sir and encourage your fellow Dems to fight like hell for this country. Half the country did not vote for this horror show in Washington

[Popular Liberal 🇺🇸 @PopularLiberal]

SAY IT LOUDER! Senator and educator from Hawaii Brian Schatz has hit the nail on the head! It’s never been about the price of eggs or gas; it’s about how Americans are being gaslit!

While “Trump and his billionaire friends are ripping us off,” too many are blind to the real issue. Time to wake up and hold the powerful accountable!

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Trump nominee and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought believes that "mandatory programs" like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are "a benefit hammock..keeping people out of the workforce."

The cruelty is the point with MAGA.

@OldsWillie @DanGambleAI Top two failed smh 🤦

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

JUST IN: The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the U.S. that endorsed Trump in the last election, has issued a statement condemning his pardon of the violent January 6 rioters.

“Crimes against law enforcement are not just attacks on individuals or public safety —they are attacks on society and undermine the rule of law. Allowing those convicted of these crimes to be released early diminishes accountability and devalues the sacrifices made by courageous law enforcement officers and their families.

When perpetrators of crimes, especially serious crimes, are not held fully accountable, it sends a dangerous message that the consequences for attacking law enforcement are not severe, potentially emboldening others to commit similar acts of violence.”

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

When I started talking about Oligarchy, many people didn't understand what I meant.

Well, that's changed.

When the 3 wealthiest men in America sit behind Trump at his inauguration, everyone understands that the billionaire class now controls our government.

We must fight back.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Republicans wanted to fast track confirmation of a controversial CIA nominee. I blocked it.

Because right now, after their unconscionable endorsement of Trump's Jan 6 pardons - including the most violent rioters - we cannot let them pretend they care about national security.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Um. What the fuck?

“Elon was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon.”

[Ryan Shead @RyanShead]

Donald Trump just stood on stage and said the election was stolen for him and that Elon Musk messed with the voting computers like only he could.

And if there was any question what happened with TikTok…

They just took this video down in 30 seconds for “integrity and authenticity” reasons. 👀

Check out the proof below…

[Piyush Mittal 🇺🇸🇺🇦🟧🌊🌈 @piyushmittal]

A larger crowd showed up today to protest Trump’s presidency than were there for his last inauguration. In cold weather. They didn’t erect gallows, they didn’t break doors and windows. They didn’t smear feces on walls. This is what a peaceful protest looks like.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Give me two minutes to walk you through rich, out of touch Scott Bessent’s disastrous confirmation hearing today (clips included).

These guys are for themselves and no one else.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

OMG, this is hilarious!

Jeffries: America elected trump
House MAGA: Raucous cheers

Jeffries: Thank you for that applause. It's OK, there are no election deniers on our side

💀💀💀

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Last week congressional Republicans cut a deal with Trump to make devastating cuts to Medicare and Medicare - health care for seniors and poor children - in order make room for a giant tax cut for the wealthy.

Happy Christmas Eve.
