Summary
At the first meeting of the DOGE Caucus, a new congressional group focused on government efficiency, Republican Rep. Greg Lopez stated that cuts to Social Security and Medicare are likely “on the table” as part of debt reduction efforts.
The caucus, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to slash government spending, raising concerns among advocacy groups about potential attacks on anti-poverty programs.
Critics, including Social Security Works, warn the caucus may push for privatization and benefit reductions.
This comes despite Trump’s prior commitment to protect these programs.
All you guys who didn’t vote for whatever reason… I hope you’re happy.
I think that anyone who didn’t vote because they thought the two were equivalent are probably not the type of person to keep up with this type of thing. So, there is probably ignorance, not necessarily stupidity (although there is that too). Ignorance is bliss. They’re probably in their own world worrying about other things, and they probably are happier for it.
I am envious. It will be bad enough to suffer resulting from everything president dipshit will do, but suffering from frustration knowing it is coming is awful too.
I’m watching the machine that’s oppressed me and everyone I love accept a newly tossed wrench right into the gears.
I’d be lying if part of me wasn’t happy to see the first few sparks.
Sure, Trump threw it. Were you throwing anything but memes? Soon you’ll get to throw bricks and molotovs.
I’ve actually been Black Bloc at protests going back to the Occupy movement, I’ve been throwing shit. Can I assume you’re one of those dickhead accelerationists that’s never actually done anything and just wants to stir shit up?
