Musk claimed 40% of calls to Social Security came from scammers. It was a lie.
Leland Dudek — plucked from a midlevel job to run SS -- got an angry call from the WH.
“The number is 40 percent,” Katie Miller told him. “Do not contradict the president"

The partisan podcasters, pundits & aggregators would have nothing to talk about if everyone followed their advice & cancelled subscriptions to news outlets that produce the actual accountability reporting upon which the podcasters, pundits & aggregators base their content.

.@propublica found Texas women who died while having miscarriages because doctors wouldn't treat them until their fetus had no detectable heartbeat.
Treating them would be a "crime," they feared.
@Cassandrajar & @Ksurana6 have the horrifying story:

I wouldn’t even think of canceling my subscription to @washingtonpost, where I started my career as a clerk. What’s going on with the owner has nothing to do with the excellent work of its reporters. #WhyISubscribe

NEW: We got ahold of private speeches from one of the key Trumpists, an architect of the RNC platform.
He lays out his plans for the next Trump admin.
And his take on the US. It's apocalyptic stuff.

The new season of Survivor features @PodSaveAmerica host @jonlovett - will it be as oddly apolitical as the 46 (46!) previous seasons?
@AlexandraBerzon and @Kellen_Browning sniff around to find out

On #Survivor premiere day @AlexandraBerzon & I wrote about why partisan politics have rarely been part of @survivorcbs, despite it being a microcosm of society.
(S47 will feature Obama speechwriter @jonlovett)
@JeffProbst & Survivor alums told us why.

Great and hilarious story from @hknightsf and @AlexandraBerzon on Kamala Harris's subtle erasure of her hometown of Berkeley, which gets traded for Oakland and the East Bay in her speeches. (Just imagine how the Canadians feel.) nytimes.com/2024/08/25/us/po…
Alexandra Berzon retweeted
As Kamala Harris introduces herself to the U.S., she’s leaving out the word Berkeley. Residents of her hometown say they get it.
“We have such a reputation for being on the far left, that we’re all a bunch of communists,” said one.

The biggest donor to both Trump ($75M) & RFK Jr ($25M) is a reclusive heir to the Mellon rail fortune. When he isn’t funding politicians,Tim Mellon is picking fruitless legal fights & ranting on private forums.
Great by @AlexandraBerzon and @mmcintire

Family members have made at least $2.2 million monetizing Michael Flynn’s right-wing stardom in recent years, with more than half going to Flynn directly as he promotes QAnon-style conspiracies about pedophile cabals. @Fahrenthold @AlexandraBerzon nytimes.com/2024/06/23/us/po…

NEW: Mike Flynn took over a 75 year-old nonprofit. Soon, it was losing money, burning through savings — and paying 6 different Flynn family members. W/@AlexandraBerzon.

The state bar asked for 6 mo 1 day, so Blehm would need to go through reinstatement proceedings.
But the panel wrote it's his 1st offense and "the misrepresentations at issue were so blatantly obvious there was little chance the Arizona Supreme Court would be misled by them."
