Just in: “Why the Real Social Security Fraudsters are Trump and Musk” Read more…

Do not be fooled by Elon Musk backing down from a plan to scrap the Social Security Administration’s phone service.

The impulse behind it remains—despite the momentary reverse.

Even as President Donald Trump repeatedly pledges ”social security will not be touched,” he and First Buddy Musk are sure to continue their ongoing effort to eviscerate the agency that administers it.

And they are doing so with strategies similar to those Trump employed when he sought to steal the 2020 election by falsely claiming his opponent had stolen it.

Back in the aftermath of what Trump still insists was a rigged election, his minions pursued myths about dead voters and discarded ballots and “flipping” voting machines. They re-tallied votes and combed through voter rolls and accused election workers of being party to fraud. And they came up with nothing that would have materially affected the outcome.

After he actually won the 2024 election with the considerable help of Musk’s mega-millions, Trump gave the world’s richest man license to create a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to chainsaw government spending and dismantle the supposed deep state of right-wing imagining.

 

In a sworn affidavit first reported by The Washington Post, former senior Social Security Administration (SSA) official Tiffany Flick says DOGE operative Mike Russo appeared to arrive at the agency with the presumption there would be wanton waste and fraud. As the new SSA chief information officer, Russo then unsuccessfully sought to substantiate a myth, just as the Trump crew had after the 2020 election.

Flick, who was then the acting chief of staff to the acting commissioner, says in the affidavit that “as soon as Mr. Russo started, the commissioner’s office offered to assist him in the areas related to potential fraud to help him understand how the programs work, what measures the agency currently takes, and areas that need specific focus.”

Flick says Russo was offered briefings on the current measures “to help ensure the accuracy of benefit payments , including those measures that ensure we are not paying benefits to deceased individuals.”

However, Mr. Russo seemed completely focused on questions from DOGE officials based on the general myth of supposed widespread Social Security fraud, rather than facts,” she adds in the affidavit, which was filed as part of a federal suit filed by Democracy Forward to black DOGE’s intrusions into SSA databases containing private nearly every American.

The DOGE boys, who did not respond to a request for comment, had been diving blindly into SSA data looking for fraud just as the election deniers had into the voting records. They came upon long lists of people more than a century old who had not been recorded as dead. The staff explained to Russo that the failure resulted from the agency using COBOL, a 60-year-old program. The DOGE folks were assured that none of these folks or their relatives were getting checks.

But that was just the truth, and if relayed to Musk, it did not stop him from posting on the social media platform he owns that, “Having tens of millions of people marked in Social Security as ‘ALIVE’ when they are definitely dead is a HUGE problem. Obviously. Some of these people would have been alive before America existed as a country. Think about that for a second …”

Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security.”

 

Musk also posted a host of misleading numbers that Trump cited in his joint address the next day.

“Believe it or not, government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old,” he said. “It lists 3.6 million people from ages 110 to 119…. 3.47 million people from ages 120 to 129. 3.9 million people from ages 130 to 139. 3.5 million people from ages 140 to 149.”

🔥 BREAKING: Late-Night ERUPTS Into Chaos as Trump LOSES IT After Jimmy Kimmel & Rosie O’Donnell UNLEASH Savage LIVE TV Double Roast — Old Feud EXPLODES Back Into Public View 🚨 What started as a routine late-night segment suddenly spiraled into full-blown televised carnage, as Jimmy Kimmel and Rosie O’Donnell appeared to revive their long-simmering clashes with Donald Trump in real time. The jokes cut sharper than usual, the tone veering from satire into something that felt openly confrontational. Studio laughter mixed with audible gasps as the pair piled on, framing Trump not just as a punchline — but as a symbol of unresolved cultural warfare. Viewers immediately sensed this wasn’t “just comedy.” According to observers following the fallout, Trump was said to be furious behind the scenes, with allies claiming he raged about being “ambushed” and privately fumed over what they described as a coordinated humiliation. Insiders allege he lashed out, demanding both comedians be “cancelled,” even as clips from the segment exploded across social media within minutes. Supporters called it disrespectful; critics called it overdue. Either way, the spectacle reignited an old feud with fresh intensity — turning late-night TV into a political battleground and leaving Trump once again scrambling to control a narrative that had already slipped out of his hands. ⚡

🚨JUST 5 MINUTES AGO: Trump ERUPTS as Congress DEMANDS His Resignation — Washington Thrown Into Turmoil 💥 Washington is reeling after a bipartisan group of 47 members of Congress publicly called for Donald Trump’s immediate resignation, triggering a political firestorm across Capitol Hill. The catalyst: a leaked classified memo that alleges Trump interfered with active U.S. military operations for personal political gain. According to multiple reports, the memo claims Trump ordered delays in critical defense authorizations until certain senior military leaders agreed to appear at campaign events and publicly endorse him. Members of the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees reviewed the memo inside a secure facility and emerged saying the evidence, if verified, raises serious national security concerns. The moment that stunned Capitol Hill came when Republican committee chairman Michael McCaul took the House floor and read the resignation demand aloud, saying he could not remain silent while U.S. security was allegedly being put at risk. Legal experts from across the political spectrum warn the allegations, if proven, could constitute a grave abuse of power and potentially criminal conduct. Trump responded with furious denials, dismissing the reports as a hoax and lashing out at Republicans who broke ranks. But with members of his own party now driving the criticism, comparisons to Watergate are growing louder— —and the political fallout appears to be only beginning… 👉 See the full breakdown before this moment slips away.👇👇

Minneapolis ICE S.h.o.o.t.i.n.g Sparks Fiery Debate: Was Deadly Force Necessary or a Tragic Overreach? The recent ICE s.h.o.o.t/ing in Minneapolis, where a 37-year-old woman was fatally shot during a protest, has sparked widespread debate and strong reactions. Stephen A. Smith, hosting his first show of 2026 on SiriusXM, delivers an immediate and nuanced take on the incident. While acknowledging that the ICE officer was legally justified in using lethal force after the woman allegedly tried to drive off with officers around her vehicle, Smith questions whether deadly force was necessary. He suggests alternative options like sh.o.o.t.ing the tires could have been employed to avoid loss of life. The incident has further exposed the deep political and social divides surrounding law enforcement, immigration enforcement, and sanctuary city policies. Smith highlights contrasting responses from federal and local officials, including the Department of Homeland Security labeling the act as domestic terrorism, while Minnesota’s governor and Minneapolis mayor push back against federal involvement. The discussion also touches on broader issues such as crime rates in Minneapolis, the role of sanctuary policies, and the political implications for upcoming elections. Smith urges listeners to reflect on the kind of country they want to live in amid these tensions and previews upcoming guests who will offer diverse perspectives on related national security and political topics
