Republicans have the easiest job in the world. They campaign on the idea that government is broken and ineffective. Once elected, they sabotage its functions, then use their own failure as proof that privatization is the only solution—ultimately enriching their friends.— David Hogg 🟧 (@davidhogg111) March 16, 2025

Jeff Stein on X: "Elon Musk's pick to run the Social Security Administration, now taking over the agency, is out with a statement today in which he acknowledges that people in the Social Security database who are over 100 years old are "not necessarily receiving benefits" Trump had said "millions https://t.co/NFya0iRi3h" / X

From Tangle newsletter on Trump's address to Congress.: > Trump is still repeating a lot of nonsense about Social Security payments to 150-year-old Americans. To recap: We know the Social Security Administration (SSA) issues erroneous payments. Last year the SSA inspector general found $71.8 billion in improper payments from 2015 to 2022 (about 0.84% of the $8.6 trillion in payments over that time). Another inspector general report from 2021 found that the SSA made $298 million in payments to 24,000 dead beneficiaries. But Musk has made much more sweeping claims on X and is pretending DOGE uncovered this. A lot of people explained to Musk that he was misunderstanding the data he was looking at, but he has not corrected the record. Now the president is running with it, even after his own appointed Social Security administrator said “recent reporting” (from Musk and Trump) was misinforming people about fraudulent payments.

THREAD. Behind closed doors, a little-known bureaucrat in Los Angeles just signed one of the weirdest--and most dangerous--contracts I've seen in my career: it gives huge control over the “justice” system in Los Angeles to the consulting firm Accenture.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) September 4, 2023

Efficiency and tech advancement could be prioritized if we had a societal structure that didn’t require people to work in order to obtain access to basic resources required to stay alive such as healthcare, housing, and food. We prioritize jobs bc we lack a social safety net. https://t.co/UjqxrC1LXE— Jen Bartel (@heyjenbartel) June 21, 2023

So what does this lifelong Chicagoan want to see now? For everyone to put “egos,” “preconceived notions,” “campaign slogans” and “puffed-up rhetoric” to the side. It's time for solutions, she said. “We need to do real investigative thinking into what these kids need.” (10/11)— Jake Sheridan (@JakeSheridan_) April 20, 2023

What people don't realize is that this is the default state of housing in a market economy, and it's great for consumers. Turning aging homes into an investment vehicle by artificially constraining supply, the way it's done in the US and many other places, is extremely harmful. pic.twitter.com/J3sCihYJ0n— François Chollet (@fchollet) January 21, 2023
