@catlynne333 @Novels56 @heyrhiannon Social Security holds our tax payments in a Trust it’s about 1.2 Trillion can’t get his hands on it no matter what he does
It’s the People’s trust it’s our Money.
Do you have an account with Social Security?
They hold your earnings in trust just like a bank account. Make your account with them and you can see all of earnings from the first day that you ever earned a paycheck.
@VelvetDuchess @catlynne333 @Novels56 @heyrhiannon I do! Just checked it today, in fact. FYI: they’re moving toward everyone signing in with login.gov now for better protections against fraud, they say.
@Siriusfarm @beegoddess64 Hi Bee Goddess! 👋🏼 Welcome to CoSo! I hope you like it here as much as I do!
@VelvetDuchess For me, it’s a low hum of anxiety and a general sense of malaise.
@eliangonzalez My optimism says that Gaetz, Hegseth and Kennedy have no shot at confirmation. There are still a few “traditional” GOP in the Senate, despite the chronic lack of spines. I mean, it took a secret vote to select Thune as the incoming Majority Leader.
Since we're seeing new Cosonauts during this latest Twitter Exodus, now seems a good time for you to learn a little about our host & hands-on Coso creator, @th3j35t3r
For those who don't already know, Coso is entirely user-driven & funded so there's no advertising and NONE of your info is shared. EVER - even if you delete your account.
This article about J from a few years back is as good a starting place as any:

@carmen Not to mention her cozy relationship with Bashar Al-Assad. 😒
@rfloyd7 Looks delish! 😋
Welcome new #cosonauts. A quick heads up
Every so often we go through a new influx of users. It's worth noting a few things:
1. We've been here for 7 years now. Please don't start by trying to mould Coso into what YOU think it should be
1. We're conversation-driven. Feel free to join in any that are already happening, just be respectful.
2. This isn't Twitter and it's not the new Rebel Base. Many of us lean left in politics, but by no means all
3. Remember Coso's golden rule: Don't Be A Dick 👍

Random thought: Why do I get the feeling that all of these absurd nominations are a smokescreen for something we may not see coming? #Politics
@MidnightRider Point taken.
Being relieved by the election of John Thune as next Senate Majority Leader was not on my bingo card, but here we are. 🫤 #Politics
@Jennifelroy My first thought was, is there a pea under all those mattresses? 😅🙂 Looks sooooo cozy!
@catlynne333 I’m wondering if (when) DeSantis will cave re: Lara trump. 🫤
@th3j35t3r Hopefully there are enough sane republicans to deny that particular nomination b

Black women showed up for us, and we should show up for them, and not just on one small business day per year.
A lot of the businesses are related to fashion, but there is still stuff for everyone. I did a search on "businesses owned by black women in philadelphia" and got plenty to choose from.
