Over 70 million #Americans rely on #SocialSecurity for retirement and disability benefits. Without accountability and transparency, that future is at risk.

"A strong majority of #Jewish #Americans said they are concerned about #antisemitism on #college campuses but disagree with President #Trump’s approach to combating it, a national #poll showed.

By nearly 3 to 1, #American #Jews believe that Trump is using antisemitism as an “excuse” to “penalize and tax college campuses,” according to the poll released Tuesday by Ipsos in collaboration with social and political scientists at UC Berkeley and the #University of Rochester."

Federal judge is upset that Trump regime fabricated evidence and more while breaking other laws, but says he's not going to do anything to punish any lawbreaker. He talks semi-tough but, in the end, is a coward.

https://archive.ph/PKgjp

From NY Times article:

In some cases, [the judge] said, the government offered “fabricated” context and “ersatz” evidence. He called some prosecutor conduct “chicanery,” echoing observations he had shared at times during the case.

He appeared particularly angered by the government’s insistence that the fired workers had ways outside of district courts to challenge their dismissals. Mr. Trump effectively disabled those options when he fired people in key positions, Judge Alsup noted. — From NY Times article: In some cases, [the judge] said, the government offered “fabricated” context and “ersatz” evidence.

@span dangillmor The last decade has been a clear and obvious demonstration that #Americans in general, but especially American men are complete chickenshits.
Cringing, weak, ridiculous cowards.
There's no other way to explain why #Republicans ran an illiterate, stupid, useless, criminal, corpulent turd THREE TIMES.
Every shitty thing happening was preventable.

Americans just had to vote for the qualified woman.
DUMBASS COWARDS.

What a vicious, stupid nation we have become when employees of the Centers for Disease Control feel obliged to hide where they work, for fear of violence from extremist vaccine deniers.

@dangillmor The United States excels at stupid and tacky.
It's too bad that millions of #Americans are illiterate about their own country, and own government and how it works in real life.
Too many people think voting every four years changes out the whole government.
It doesn't.

…Acc/to this new memo, the #DOJ is also expanding its criteria of which #crimes put individuals at risk of losing their #citizenship. That includes #NationalSecurity violations & committing acts of #fraud against individuals or against the government, like Paycheck Protection Program loan fraud or Medicaid or Medicare fraud.

“To see that this admin is plotting out how they're going to expand its use in ways that we have not seen before is very shocking & very concerning,”said Sameera Hafiz, policy director of the Immigration Legal Resource Center, a national advocacy org providing legal training in #immigration #law.

“It is…in a way trying to create a second class of US citizens:”where one set of #Americans is safe & those not born in the country are still at risk of losing their hard-fought #citizenship, she said.
