Converting COBOL to Java is expensive and risky, but at least it will run slower.

Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months. wired.com/story/doge-rebuild…

Garcia: "Elon Musk is sending his unqualified DOGE staff to carry out this agenda across all these agencies. And in some cases, actually teenage staffers. No accountability, no experience, and problematic records. They're trying to rob you, and they're probably a minorrrrrr."

Casar: "You know what Elon Musk doesn't seem to be looking into? His own contracts ... we're not looking into Elon Musk's $8m a day. This subcommittee chaired by Marjorie Taylor Greene and the House Republicans is looking into your grandmother's $65 a day."

From this angle, the trade relationship looks very different: Each Canadian buys $7,570 more in U.S. goods/services than the average American buys from Canada. So while the U.S. has a trade deficit in total dollars, it has a per capita trade surplus. @melaniejoly 3/3

Now, let’s look at it per capita: 🇺🇸 US pop: 334M → $421.1B ÷ 334M = $1,260 per American spent on Canadian goods/services. 🇨🇦 Canada pop: 40M → $353.2B ÷ 40M = $8,830 per Canadian spent on US goods/services. @melaniejoly 2/3

For those looking at the US trade deficit with Canada, let me present the facts—and a different perspective. Total US-Canada trade in 2023 was USD 1.12 T. 🇺🇸 The US imported $421.1B from Canada 🇨🇦 Canada imported $353.2B from the U.S. Result: A US trade deficit of $67.9B 1/3

Y'all need to listen to this worker about all the good stuff that's happening in America due to the infrastructure policies of President Biden and VP Kamala Harris. As president, the loathsome piece of shit talked a lot, but didn't do a fucking thing. America's back baby! 🙌💪🇺🇸

The Special Counsel's immunity filing is still under seal, but its sealing motion itself is now public. And as promised, the Special Counsel says their brief contains never-before seen "sensitive material." 1/

What comes next is one of the largest relief missions in world history. Already, there should be facilities being built to house, feed, and care for over one million displaced people. This is what the United Nations should be focused on. This is what the Arab nations shud do.
