A clip of The Washington Post’s article with the headline: Trump administration overrode Social Security staff to list immigrants as dead. In smaller text: A senior executive who objected was marched out of his office and put on leave, while earlier warnings about the agency’s deaths database were ignored. An excerpt of the article: “It’s the source of that data that the whole world uses, which is why, if it’s inaccurate, it has such devastating impacts on people,” Francis said. “Overnight you literally become financially paralyzed.”
Cruel. Illegal. Intentional.
Falsely marking people as dead erases a person’s ability to live and earn wages—and the Trump Administration knows it.
This isn’t a mistake. This is another sinister tactic. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

That asshole in the White House will NEVER speak for me.
Smash that 💙 if you stand with President Zelensky.

As President Trump demolishes the government’s biggest provider of foreign aid, USAID, he is ending a 60-year bipartisan consensus about the best way to keep the U.S. safe from its enemies.
On "The Daily," our reporters explain the rise and fall of USAID — and American soft power.

Federal agencies and departments generally don't keep big balances in their bank accounts.
The whole system relies on quarterly or even monthly transfers of budgeted funds from Treasury.
You choke off the money flow to an agency, things start failing much more quickly than you might expect.
