@LinkofSunshine @FaggedNoumena Social security is welfare

@RedTusker @alx It’s literally about the law, the president isn’t a king, even in his own branch checks and balances apply. Here is the judges order if you want to see what laws he cites and where he says it’s just a stay to make sure everything is legal.

@Chriso030584 @BichitoHugo @RpsAgainstTrump Which is exactly why the judge put a stay on the order, there is a concern it’s violating the take care clause in the constitution, among other things.

@KenAbides @malinois_x @Oldcrow07 @MikeBenzCyber I mean, what’s the standard here. Do you want a signed letter from every person who bought one of her books or paid for her to speak at a conference. What level of evidence do you need that her disclosures don’t show.

@MikhailPLoucks @legitbrittFLA You are right about the interest SS gains but it isn’t enough. Social security is no longer running a surplus since 2021, they estimate running out of reserves by 2034. By 2035 if congress does nothing benefits will be cut.

@BichitoHugo @RpsAgainstTrump This is just a wrong It’s a federal judge, appointed by the president. Their entire purpose is to hear cases authorized by the constitution or by federal laws. The Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction over district courts. Meaning the SC can change the ruling if they want

@RarelyTolerated USDS, now DOGE isn’t a department or agency so it doesn’t need congressional approval to be created or ended.

@BrainPpP @brianlilley Won’t Canada be a giant 50 electoral count blue state. It would be like adding a second California the GOP wouldn’t win for years.

@Leavethe991 @ReedTweadon @acnewsitics The judge put a stay due to a suspicion that Trumps acts may have violated the: Administrative Procedure Act Separation of power doctrine Take Care Clause in the constitution Its just a temporary stop so Trump and his team can gather evidence they are not violating these rules

@Poorman2016 @awoooouwuooooo @DeTenebris @CaprisArdent @cremieuxrecueil Getting rid of the penny isn’t inflationary in any way. Canadas dollar value held steady when they got rid of theirs.

@MikhailPLoucks @legitbrittFLA All the “IOUs” on social security have already been paid back with interest. The program just can’t fund itself with the current rate of benefits and taxes.

@Mangini01 @legitbrittFLA USAIDs entire budget wouldn’t fund Social security for a month

@hfayeweaver176 @4HLDisciple @CalypsoMach @mattyglesias All I said is social security doesn’t hold onto your money for you. It uses the money people pay in now to pay people taking money out now. What propaganda are you talking about?

@trequor_ @cremieuxrecueil You want to tie the US dollar to copper prices?

@awoooouwuooooo @DeTenebris @CaprisArdent @cremieuxrecueil There’s basically no secure material left worth a penny, that’s the problem.

@JaeKim1089208 @AlexMagnusAlt @WallStreetApes Giving the president power over interest rates would be really bad. There is a reason it’s separated from the administration.

@malinois_x @Oldcrow07 @MikeBenzCyber She’s a Pulitzer Prize winning author and has written multiple bestselling books. She was already a multimillionaire before she started working in the Obama admin in 2012 Her disclosures are public, she seems to make cash from speaking at events as well

@Jonnyfourshirts @PeteButtigieg The judge wrote a public order so you can actually just read the justification. The main thing is that it’s just a temporary stay, so they can have an actual trial to make sure it’s not violating the Administrative Procedure Act or the take care clause in the constitution.
