1. Yet Another Thing That I Am Worried About

Obviously Social Security payments (among other payments) are made through the Treasury Department. According to my research, almost 100 percent of these payments are made via direct deposit into an individuals bank account. That data (bank account and routing numbers) is present within the Treasury Department payment system. What if someone with access to the system has nefarious plans and they withdraw all monies out of peoples bank accounts? Are there any safeguards in place to prevent this, and even if there is, will they work?

2. That would be a good question to ask a bank n/t

6. There is no evidence (at least at this point) that people's SS payments are being interfered with.

7. Valid concern.

You may want to make sure your settings are as robust as possible to prevent withdrawals like that without your explicit authorization (e.g. they would send you a text).

8. At this point, there ARE no safeguards against ANYTHING, short of what

AMERICANS won't long tolerate.

WE NEED TO STOP RUSSELL VOUGHT'S CONFIRMATION NOW!

"Vought plays a major role in Project 2025... it proposes reclassifying tens of thousands of merit-based federal civil service workers as political appointees in order to replace them with loyalists more willing to enable the next Republican president's policies. It seeks to infuse the government and society with *Christian values."

*(In fairness, the use of the phrase "Christian values" here only pertains to knee-jerk Nazi types who profess, but do not live those words.)

4. Christian values?

Call it "radical religiosity".

5. She's right- on all points

For those of you who don't know, this is Heather Cox Richardson. She is a well published professor of US history. Easy to find, I recommend subscribing to her.
