Mike Johnson calls Social Security an “entitlement” and says he has a plan for it to be “adjusted and fixed.”
Social Security is an earned benefit – not an entitlement – and as we’ve warned repeatedly, it’s about to hit a cliff, now in 2032. In Connecticut, that would mean an average loss of $556/month in benefits.
The way to prevent this is by making the rich pay their fair share in payroll tax – the same as middle and working-class Americans.
Jewish actress Miriam Margolyes says When I visited Israel I saw how disgusting Israeli people were because of their racist treatment of Palestinians
“Israeli people are shits”
Thanks to Trump's tax cuts for the rich, Social Security's trustees warn the program will be unable to pay out full benefits by 2032.
There's only one way to reverse this trend.
Scrap the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes.
🇸🇴 Nunca vi algo así. En Somalia hoy se llenó un estadio para recibir como héroe nacional a Omar Artan, el árbitro al que Estados Unidos le negó la entrada al Mundial. Increíble.
@travelinjeebus@TheTNHoller You did not know the meaning of that tattoo before the Platner shit...if you say you do know, you're probably lying unless you're a nazi history enthusiast.
@_EyeOf_TheTiger@TheTNHoller You really think he would have taken his shirt off at his Jewish sister in law's wedding reception singing if he knew what the tattoo meant? GTFOH And not a single person at that party knew what it was either.
The Art Directors Guild released a statement condemning Martin Scorsese’s recent partnership with AI startup Black Forest Labs.
The guild accused one of Hollywood’s most celebrated directors of “turning his back on the human artists who throughout his career have helped him create his most memorable works.”

Congratulations to @XavierBecerra. I am excited to offer him all the support I can as he sets out to become our state’s next governor.
This race has featured a large field with many strong candidates, and I am confident that our party will now unite behind Xavier and his calm, steady brand of leadership.
I have been fortunate to see firsthand how Xavier never shies away from the biggest fights, whether it was taking on the drug companies as Secretary of Health and Human Services or going after sex traffickers and big polluters as California’s Attorney General. I know as Governor, he will do whatever it takes to stand up to Donald Trump, defend our rights, and protect our communities.
I look forward to standing with Xavier as California makes history by electing our first Latino governor in 150 years.

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”
Republicans want to send ICE another $70 billion. With that money, we could:
- Pay for two years of free childcare for over 1 million kids
- Extend the ACA premium tax credits by at least a year
- Cancel 1/3 of Americans' medical debt
Abolish ICE. Invest in working Americans.
House Democratic leadership just handed AIPAC darling Debbie Wasserman Schultz a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
At a moment when Democratic voters are increasingly rejecting endless war, unconditional support for Israel, and failed sanctions on countries like Cuba and Venezuela, party leaders rewarded one of Congress’s most hawkish voices with a powerful role shaping U.S. foreign policy.
What does it say about Democratic leadership when this is who they choose to represent them on foreign affairs?
Another reminder that there are hundreds of thousands of Palestinians unaccounted for, presumed dead, under rubble in the Gaza Strip. Gaza is an open-air extermination camp and Israel is attempting to kill those remaining via starvation, disease, airstrikes, and/or lack of care.
Natalie Portman and Justine Triet are among more than 350 film industry figures who have signed an open letter condemning the cultural boycott of Israeli director Nadav Lapid.
A fierce critic of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, Lapid has lived in self-imposed exile in France since 2021. His latest film, “Yes!” was called a “blistering attack on Israeli nationalism” by Variety.
The letter highlights the broader culture of intimidation spreading through film institutions. “Instead of opening a discussion on possible forms of resistance, we are witnessing the proliferation of tactics of intimidation that shut down precisely this space for vision, thought, and struggle.”
