A New York appeals court ruled former President Donald Trump must pay a $175 million bond as he appeals the civil fraud judgment against him, instead of the full $464 million judgment, which was due today. He also was given 10 additional days.

Republicans don’t even try to hide their hatred for the “socialist” program. For example, in this election year, each of the Republican candidates for president was unabashed in their commitment to destroying Social Security.
— Nikki Haley came right out and said that the retirement age of 65 is “way too low.” Apparently, nobody told her that Reagan raised it to 67, which went into effect in 2022. But 67 is probably also too low for Haley.
— Vivek Ramaswamy wanted to fire 75% of all the employees in the Social Security Administration, bringing the program to its knees and making it impossible for people turning 67 or with disabilities to even apply for benefits.
— Chris Christie told Americans we need to “deal with” Social Security by cutting benefits, while Ron DeSantis voted, as a Congressman, three times to raise the retirement age to 70 and privatize the system.
— And Senator Rick Scott, who recently met with Trump about the possibility of his bid to replace Mitch McConnell, has called for the Social Security and Medicare programs to both “sunset” at the end of five years if Congress doesn’t write new legislation to keep them alive.
And, of course, Trump proposed to gut the program four times, in each of his budgets, when he was president. ... See MoreSee Less

Reform the Supreme Court now!
Lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court have created an elite class of justices, immune to the consequences of their actions and decisions.
The lack of Supreme Court term limits fosters an environment ripe for corruption, where decisions can be swayed by long-standing political affiliations, personal biases, or worse, the interests of the powerful few who have their ears.
From Justice Clarence Thomas's failure to disclose luxury trips funded by a wealthy donor to Justice Samuel Alito's participation in a case involving a company in which he held stock, it’s clear that as time goes by impartiality and accountability are increasingly compromised.
It’s time for term limits for Supreme Court justices. We must liberate our highest court from the stranglehold of lifetime tenure. ... See MoreSee Less

Crossover Day is this Thursday! Crossover Day marks the point during the legislative session when a bill must be approved by its originating chamber. Once a bill gets this approval, it moves across the Capitol to the other chamber. A House bill that has yet to be passed by the House or a Senate bill that has not been passed by the Senate by this Thursday, February 29, is unlikely to become law this session. (There are occasional exceptions to this rule.) ... See MoreSee Less

Trump signed the 2017 tax cuts into law and frequently cites it on the 2024 campaign trail as one of his signature achievements. He has said that he would extend the expiring tax cuts if elected to a second term. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that extending the tax cuts through 2033 would add $3.5 trillion to the federal deficit. [AJC] ... See MoreSee Less
