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.

We're seeing a revolving door between ICE and the private prison industry. The new head of ICE is a former VP at GeoGroup, the company that runs over a dozen detention centers, including Delaney Hall. This is corruption using taxpayer dollars, and we need to stop it.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends.

He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission.

Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum.

And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat. The U.S. gave its word to Ukraine that it would defend them.

And I find this amazing. In your opening remarks, as you took us all over the world and mentioned 15 different incidents where you have interceded — 15, the top 15 — not once did you mention Ukraine when you were prioritizing achievements that are there."

In America today, we rank 34th out of 35 countries in childhood poverty and millions of children are food insecure.

Maybe, just maybe, my Republican colleagues would consider holding a single hearing about how we improve the lives of American kids.

Trump is now reportedly responsible for roughly 27.7% of the entire U.S. national debt accumulated under all presidents combined.

That is an astonishing figure historically.

The national debt just crossed $39 trillion.

President Trump has added roughly $12–13 trillion to the debt across his two terms in office.

That’s approximately 30% of ALL U.S. national debt accumulated since 1789.

In 2016, Trump said he would pay down the national debt “over a period of eight years.”

Instead:

- First term: +$7.8 trillion
- Second term: roughly +$4–5 trillion already

And yes, COVID affected first-term spending.

It does not explain adding another trillion dollars every five months without a pandemic.

A political movement built on:
“fiscal conservatism”
“small government”
“balanced budgets”

has now overseen the largest debt expansion tied to any single presidency in American history.

Wendy was arrested by local police and detained. She begged officers not to keep Oliver, her 3 year old, separate from her. ICE refused. Her beautiful, kind son is now dead.

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

ICE detain immigration court interpreter—her son in U.S. Army feels "betrayed."

"I've done a lot for my country and want to do more," he said.

"All I ask from my country is give my mom back."

She's not only in U.S. legally—but only licensed interpreter for 3 Indian languages in state of Texas.

Her skill set is so rare—her job requires her to fly all across the country wherever South Asian immigrants need language access.

Meenu Batra fled India 35 years ago as a teenager after her parents were killed because of their Sikh religion.

She was granted an asylum status known as "withholding of removal"—recipients cannot apply for permanent U.S. residency.

This asylum status allows her to remain and work legally as long as she doesn't leave the country or commit a crime.

"I am here, and I am legal and will not be removed, so I was told I have nothing to worry about," she said.

"And I can live and I can work. And that is all I wanted to do—my work speaks for itself."

I want to wrap your head around that number. $38.3 BILLION to warehouse humans. While millions are losing healthcare. While billionaires party. This isn’t “fiscal conservative” it’s a mass terror operation.

The Trump administration just ADMITTED in court that DOGE employees illegally accessed the personal data of 300 MILLION Americans.

Then tried to share it with a political group to "overturn election results."

Your name. Your birthday. Your Social Security number.

All of it exposed on an unsecured server with no audit trail.

Here's the scandal no one is talking about:

In January 2025, Elon Musk launched DOGE with a promise:

Cut $2 TRILLION in government waste.

Trump gave him unprecedented access to federal systems.

Including the Social Security Administration.

That's the database with YOUR name. YOUR birthday. YOUR address. YOUR Social Security number.

The personal information of every American who's ever applied for a Social Security card.

In March 2025, a federal judge issued a restraining order.

DOGE was blocked from accessing Social Security data.

The judge's words were brutal:

"DOGE is engaged in a fishing expedition... without any concrete knowledge that the needle is actually in the haystack."

But DOGE didn't stop.

According to court filings released last week, within 24 HOURS of that restraining order...

Senior officials at SSA "received instructions to undo the court-ordered access restrictions for two DOGE employees."

They ignored a federal judge.

From March 7 to March 17, DOGE employees started sharing data through Cloudflare.

A third-party server that was NOT approved for storing government data.

The Social Security Administration admitted:

"SSA has not been able to determine exactly what data were shared to Cloudflare or whether the data still exist on the server."

They literally don't know what was taken or where it went.

Meanwhile, one DOGE employee sent an "encrypted and password-protected file" to Steve Davis.

Who is Steve Davis?

Elon Musk's top lieutenant. His right-hand man across multiple companies.

The file allegedly contained the names and addresses of roughly 1,000 Americans.

The SSA still can't open the file to verify what's inside.

But here's where it gets INSANE.

Court documents reveal that TWO DOGE employees were contacted by a "political advocacy group."

The group's goal?

To "find evidence of voter fraud and to overturn election results in certain States."

One DOGE employee actually SIGNED a "Voter Data Agreement" with this group.

Let that sink in.

Government employees with access to 300 million Americans' data...

Secretly agreeing to share that information with a political group trying to overturn elections.

In August 2025, a whistleblower named Chuck Borges came forward.

Borges was the Chief Data Officer at SSA.

A 22-year Navy veteran. Career federal employee.

He warned that DOGE had copied the ENTIRE Social Security database into a vulnerable cloud server.

Names. Birthdays. Addresses. Citizenship status. Parents' names.

Everything.

An internal SSA risk assessment form said it plainly:

"Unauthorized access to the NUMIDENT would be considered catastrophic impact to SSA beneficiaries."

Career security officials recommended: "Production data should not be used."

DOGE used it anyway.

Borges was forced to resign shortly after filing his complaint.

For MONTHS, the SSA denied any wrongdoing.

Then last Friday, the Justice Department filed a "correction to the record."

Translation: They admitted the whistleblower was right.

The DOGE employees have been referred for potential Hatch Act violations.

Democrats are calling for criminal prosecution.

But here's the kicker:

DOGE was disbanded in November 2025.

Eight months ahead of schedule.

Musk called it "an interesting side quest."

The question now is simple:

Who has your data?

And what are they doing with it?

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: DHS just publicly admitted what many have been warning about.

They are detaining people for a “status review.”

Read that again.

That means DHS is arresting human beings before verifying who they are, before confirming citizenship or legal status, and before establishing probable cause… then locking them in detention facilities while they “figure it out.”

That is not law enforcement.
That is not due process.
That is government-sanctioned human trafficking.

People are being seized, transported, and confined by the state without identity verification, based on suspicion alone. U.S. citizens have already been caught in this net. Lawful residents have already been caught in this net.

If the government can detain you first and ask questions later, constitutional rights become optional.

The question isn’t whether mistakes will happen.

They already are.

The question is how long Americans will accept a system where freedom depends on a bureaucrat deciding you deserve it after you’ve been locked up.

Detained for “status review” is not normal.
It is not legal.
And it should terrify everyone.

ICE agents pepper sprayed a baby girl.

The baby girl, mother and father are all US Citizens - just in case you thought your family was safe.

Rafael Veraza was spending his weekend like any other dad, on a grocery run with his wife and baby daughter at Sam’s Club. When they noticed immigration agents in the parking lot, they decided to leave without shopping.
Federal agents filled their car with pepper spray.

The video makes me sick to my stomach. His daughter screams in pain and struggles to open her eyes. When they rushed to the hospital, the doctor had to call poison control because they’d never treated such a young child for pepper spray exposure.

Now the family has to monitor for potential long-term damage to their daughter’s lungs and eyes.

Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokesperson, denied that agents pepper-sprayed anyone at Sam's Club. The video shows otherwise. There it is, plain as day: an agent filling a car with pepper spray while a baby screams inside.

They’re committing heinous acts of abuse, state sponsored violence, against babies. And lying about it as if we are foolish enough to take their word for it.

Rafael Veraza is a U.S. citizen. His wife is a U.S. citizen. Their baby was born here. Now he says he has hate toward the government. Who could possibly blame him?

Veraza’s wife was filming the parking lot scene on her smartphone. She wanted to show their baby the turbulent times she was born in, someday. Instead she caught the only evidence that makes them feel empowered to speak out.
