Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I thought that was already cleared up. That this was due to a misinterpreted quirk in the COBOL programing language? And as a result, Musk wants to rewrite the whole thing "in a few months"?
And it says a lot about the US of 2025 that his really isn't the braindeadest thing we've witnessed.
It was cleared up to people who care about factual information. Unfortunately those people increasingly not only aren't in charge, but aren't even being allowed into the building.
Let's see, you have been doing this job for almost thirty years and understand all the facts and ins and outs of the system = Fired or not allowed to do your job anymore.
You have no clue about Social Security, its operation, its software systems, or its mission and you were just hired a couple of months ago = Promoted.
You must not have the same Facebook friends that I have. They have an important video you should watch where Elon explains what he’s doing with doge and you will absolutely be as convinced as they were.
Not sure if you're joking.
I’m definitely joking. But that’s how my Facebook friends (ex Facebook frieends) would phrase it. If I weren’t joking I should include the video in be comment.
