- Self-explanatory title of new memo dated today is perfect: "Democrats: Don’t Let Up on Social Security; Trump Musk and GOP In Congress Are Running for Cover." Memo from Martin O'Malley's Win Back Our Country PAC: thehill.com/wp-content/u... #SocialSecurity #Organize thehill.com/business/529...
- Reposted by LeftofCenterRepublicans don’t care about corruption — especially AG Blondie.
- It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...
- Reposted by LeftofCenterExcuse me? Musk's role complicates the picture? Do we no longer know it when we see it? #self-dealing #corruption www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
- Reposted by LeftofCenterTake no pleasure in Trump supporters now facing anguish over their son's detention. Elections have consequences. It's up to us to do something to help stem the problems at the border while protecting due process for everyone from immigration policies run amok. www.ajc.com/news/they-vo...
- Enough already. Make it stop. Or better yet make it happen. #DoSomething to elect a Democratic US House and Senate in your state! www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
- "These three great objectives the security of the home, the security of livelihood, and the security of social insurance--are, it seems to me, a minimum of the promise that we can offer to the American people." President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on signing Social Security into law on 8/14/1935.
- The reason Vice President Pence recieved this award was sent back to scene of the crime by enough voters to become president again. None of where we are as a nation makes any sense anymore. #midterms matter! www.bbc.com/news/article...
- Hope rises.

- Granted we'd all be safer if Secy Hegseth worked at Walmart but I'd miss the comic relief of his stupidity. www.aol.com/pentagon-chi... U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth canceled a program to increase the role of women in national security sectors first signed by who? Read it and laugh til u cry.
- Reposted by LeftofCenterLocally owned full-service neighborhood market in my hometown, walking distance from my house that lots of people drive across town to shop. I'm pretty sure their attitude helps. #BuyLocal
- Let's get this straight. Mother going to regular check-in with INS gets picked up and swept into custody with her child. Homan blamed the parent, calling it Parenting 101. Umm ... no. A parent is arrested for a crime, no child goes to jail. Child protection 101. #DueProcess youtu.be/XAvNgCVXGf0?...
- Reposted by LeftofCenterWhat he said was: :"Yes, of course. But ..." then proceeded to say no with lots of syllables found in language known as BS."
- Reposted by LeftofCenterThe President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it." And then... I lost it.

- Hegseth orders makeup studio installed at Pentagon or else, it could get ugly.
- He doesn't want women in the service but shares military secrets with his wife. Now he wants a makeup studio so he can look like the warrior he claims to be. Oh, and his wife approves of the upgrade. #MarriageGoals www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
- “Hegseth is doing phenomenal leading the Pentagon,” Leavitt said. It would be true if 'phenomenal' meant delusional and a danger to national security. #Organize www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

- Musk and DOGE are terrorizing Social Security recipients with clandestine operations and dark schemes to break the system. With cracks in Trump support, Democrats are reaching out to MAGA voters who slowly admit they don't want Musk anywhere near Social Security. www.leftofcenter.org/blog/2025/4/...
- Florida Special Elections Emerged as Battleground in the battle to protect Social Security from Musk and DOGE. A growing number of Americans of all walks of life and ideology recognize a real line in the sand must be drawn for #SocialSecurity. #Resist #Democrats www.leftofcenter.org/blog/2025/4/...

- Good to see some SOTU counter-programming on behalf of the growing coalition opposing Trump, Musk and their chaotic and destructive whims. Hopefully it will provide an educated read into a new org that is filling a void. #CoalitionBuilding is spot on. #Resist #Organize bsky.app/profile/5050...

- "Where is Mr. Musk in all of this?" asked U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly. Fake transparency won't work in the courts. Powerful, secret, unelected & unvetted group seeking Social Security numbers and tax returns requires legal scrutiny (GOP Congress MIA). www.reuters.com/legal/where-...
- Trump was a 2-time loser at the UN today, siding with Putin but failing to stop overwhelming support for UN measures hailing Ukraine for fending off Russian invaders. An embarrassing show of American weakness under Trump, yet cowardly GOP lawmakers allow Trump's treason. apnews.com/article/un-r...
- Trump tried to tee up Gov Mills in public, but instead he gave her a gift by threatening on camera to withhold federal money approved by Congress for Maine. This case is is Trump vs. the law and states rights. Gov Mills and AG Aaron Frey were ready for this fight. www.mainepublic.org/politics/202...
- "In 2023, U.S. pharmaceutical imports totaled $177.85 billion. If tariff rates averaged 20%, it would add nearly $36 billion to the cost of these medicines." Show of hands please for anyone who voted for Trump to raise the price of medicine for U.S. consumers. www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

- Its one thing to look at the family finances, quite another to not pay the rent. Consequences arguably being a bigger problem than the perceived problem. BTW, how does this help lower the price of eggs?
- It was a dark week, but Trump’s emotionally draining antics are less of a blow when we focus on why he is doing what he is doing, and recognize he’s not even doing it well. #resist #organize www.leftofcenter.org/blog/2025/1/...
