Lutnick’s terrible comments on SSA

Billionaire Commerce Secretary Lutnick’s comments were terrible

  1. most beneficiaries would miss getting a check. They are not billionaires like him
  2. People who would complain are not fraudsters.

Oh no they don't. H3LL no. IDK why the Commerce Secretary has an opinion on Social Security anyway. His job is promoting U. S. businesses. The SSA has never missed a monthly payment. Lutnick needs to think again if he thinks we're OK with a missed payment.www.axios.com/2025/03/21/s…

New Morning Consult weekly tracker is out and it's another bad poll for Trump. His job approval is now 48%-50%, down 10 points since his first week. With independents its 39%-56%. More strongly disapprove – 44% – than approve.

Even 60% of Republicans say Signalgate is a serious national security breach. Hegseth must resign or be fired. If the Obama or Biden admins had done this, Republicans would be apoplectic and heads would have rolled.

Blue state housing restrictions will cost them electoral votes after the 2030 census

Housing really is a ‘decide if you want to win’ issue for the Democratic Party.
