First Trump pushed out career national security experts working to counter cyber threats posed by China.Now he’s shelving critical safeguards they put in place.Why is the Trump Administration so eager to do Beijing’s bidding?

More posts on Trump’s bad actions on Social Security

This is terrible. He has done permanent damage to SSA’s reputation and public trust of the agency.

The training issue is very concerning.. I worked in an SSA field office for almost five years between 1976-1981. It takes a couple of years to really feel knowledgeable about the procedures.

7/ Whistleblower alleges that an SSA “database called the Numident, which is the master database of ur personal info, was uploaded to an AWS cloud environment.” [Numident’s data is now allegedly linked to the Save System to facilitate voter purges. This is a centerpiece of the Save America Act]

Social Security is a very successful, very popular program. Its financing challenges are real, but can be managed with common-sense changes. It emphatically does NOT need a radical restructuring, as several new proposals suggest.More from Wendell Primus et al:www.brookings.edu/articles/ins…

Another ICE lie

Questionable? Outright wrong? Can’t you say they lied?

When an immigration agent shot a man in the leg last month in Minnesota, the Trump administration rushed to sell a version of events that demonized the wounded man. It was the latest instance of the U.S. government providing an account of a shooting that later proved questionable or outright wrong.

They will cause permanent damage to the US and the planet.

Trump is being modest when he calls gutting our ability to fight climate change the “single largest deregulatory action in American history.”It’s also the largest:— giveaway to Big Oil & corporate polluters— assault on climate science— destruction of decades of progress

The Post has caved in to Trump on climate

The opinion section is mostly right-wing trash now.

Days after laying off many of the great climate change reporters I once worked with, the Washington Post published an editorial applauding Trump for ripping up the federal government’s authority to regulate climate pollution. Important column by @sammyroth.bsky.social

The Washington Post has laid off least 14 climate journalists, newsroom sources told @sammyroth.bsky.social, effectively decimating one of the most important reporting teams in American climate journalism.A sad, terrifying, enraging day for the planet.

Trump’s bad ideas to revive coal

We should be going forwatd with clean energy, not backsliding.
