I left my Halloween mask pic up to trigger the simple-minded. Go ahead & complain 🤣

@RobertPicardo Greta Gremlin.
I still love Gremlins 2 and have shown it to all my kids and godkids, ages 25-7.
They also watch Voyager and Starfleet Academy with me.

@ginamilan_ You called Democrats the stupidest breed, but you can't even get the quote correct, nor can you comprehend what Rep. McIver was talking about.
Remember kids every time you point a finger, there's always three pointing right back at you.

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley You literally tried to say the $23B SSA balance was people stealing dead people's checks [A-08-20-50917].
I exposed your bad math, so now you're lying about your own tweets and making personal insults.
I paid my taxes.
I just know how to read an audit report and do research.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley No one said fraud is OK.
I exposed your fake annual math and pointed out that private corporate cartels scamming Medicare billing has zero to do with cutting Social Security checks for disabled Americans.
You keep conflating different programs because your math failed.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley You are trapped in a loop.
The $23B balance is NOT dead people [A-08-20-50917].
OIG states it is cumulative math errors overpaid to LIVING, low-income seniors and disabled folks on SSI/SSDI.
Gov claws back dead people's checks automatically from the banks.
Read the audit.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley You're completely scrambling the 2025 law.
$25K cap is for tax-free OVERTIME, not tips.
You got the numbers backwards.
By bragging about $75K/$150K brackets, you admitted this tax break only helps wealthier seniors while legally excluding disabled SSDI workers under 65.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley Like I said, stop being a mouthpiece regurgitating long debunked right-wing lies and propaganda.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley 50 years of GOP supply-side cuts exploded the debt by tens of trillions.
Corporations pass costs down because of unchecked corporate greed to protect executive bonuses, not regulations.
Do honest research, stop repeating chyrons.

Part 2 - End.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley This is a history & economics lesson.
The ultra-wealthy pay a lower effective tax rate than you do because they borrow against assets to bypass income tax entirely.
When the US had a thriving middle class and low poverty, the top marginal tax rate was 70-91%.

Part 1 -

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley Dems want to raise taxes on the rich, wealthy and corporations, not everyone.
Stop claiming headlines & chyrons are research and do honest to God research.
Otherwise you're just being a right-wing mouthpiece.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley For disabled workers under 65, that $6K senior deduction literally IS nothing.
They are legally excluded.
Low-income seniors already pay $0 in tax, so they get zero extra dollars.
You're making up numbers on tips and overtime to distract from getting the math wrong on the SSA. 🤫

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley Medi-Cal's entire budget is $150B.
If $146B was lost "each year," 97% of CA doctors wouldn't be paid.
You fell for a multi-year total twisted into an annual headline.
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are completely different programs.
Stop conflating them.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley The "tax cut" is a gimmick.
The OBBBA didn't eliminate the tax on benefits.
It's just a temporary $6K general income deduction for people 65+. Low-income and disabled SSDI recipients already pay $0 in tax, so they get nothing.
Funding cuts?
Look at the budget bills.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley You are repeating the $23B number but ignoring what it means. The OIG explicitly states that money is cumulative overpayment errors made BY the government to living, low-income seniors and disabled folks. The SSA has to use payment plans because clawing it back hurts people.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@NMPK47 @burd_lori @MartinOMalley Party affiliation has nothing to do with you pushing a lie because you lack the facts.
When people try to "agree to disagree" on verifiable data, it just means they don't have a counter-argument to excuse believing misinformation.
The accounts weren't getting paid. Period.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley 1) OIG confirms $327M dollars, not payments.
2) It’s administrative lag in state data syncing, not fraud.
SSA automatically claws back automated deposits via banks.
3) Trump didn’t "misspeak"—he used a database glitch to push a narrative to justify cutting SSA funding.
Try again.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@HelenM17813215 @kathy_harter @MartinOMalley Research is your friend.
Which you're estranged from.
Check the actual OIG audit, not the viral headlines you rely on.

[Astral Scott @AstralTX]

@NMPK47 @burd_lori @MartinOMalley All DOGE did was expose their own lack of knowledge and comprehension.
None of the "super-aged" accounts were receiving benefits.
So your panties are in a twist over nothing.
