Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has admitted a new Trump plan to create
savings accounts for newborns is actually a backdoor way to privatize
Social Security. Bessent made the comment on Wednesday during a forum
organized by the right-wing news outlet Breitbart.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: "I'm not sure when the distribution
level date should be, whether - should it be 30, and you can buy a
house? Should it be 60? But in a way, it is a backdoor for privatizing
Social Security."Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire responded by saying,
"They're already ripping health care away from millions on Medicaid, and
now they've made it clear that your Social Security is next."#democracy-now #social-security #scott-bessent #trump #breitbart #jeanne-shaheen

The image is a political cartoon featuring two characters. On the left, a heavily armored figure labeled "ICE" and "POLICE" is depicted. The figure is wearing a helmet with "ICE" written on it, a black mask, and a tactical vest. The character is holding a baton and appears to be in a confrontational stance. On the right, a smaller character is holding a sign with a red circle and a line through "ICE," indicating opposition to the agency. This character is wearing a purple shirt and blue jeans, and is crouched slightly, looking up at the armored figure. The character is speaking, saying, "I was just following orders." The armored figure responds, "Quit calling me 'Gestapo.'" A speech bubble from the smaller character reads, "Why?" The background is plain, focusing attention on the characters and their interaction. The cartoon is signed "Daryl Cagle" at the bottom right.

The image is a cartoon depicting a scene with three characters. In the center, a man with blonde hair, dressed in a black suit and tie, is holding a lever on a red box labeled "ACME TARIFFS." The box is connected to several sticks of dynamite with wires. To the left of the man is a character resembling a jackal, and to the right is a bird with a blue body and wings labeled "CHINA." The bird appears to be stepping on a wire connected to the dynamite. The background is plain, focusing attention on the characters and the box. The overall scene suggests a metaphorical representation of a situation involving tariffs and potential consequences.

The image features a design that combines elements of the American flag with the colors of the rainbow. At the top, the phrase "Love is Love" is written in a bold, cursive font. Below this, the flag's design is modified: the stars are on a pink field instead of the traditional blue, and the stripes are in the colors of the rainbowβred, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purpleβreplacing the original white and red stripes. The phrase "It's as simple as that" is written in a smaller, cursive font on a light blue stripe. The overall design conveys a message of love and equality, using the familiar American flag as a backdrop.

Surprised Senator Rand Paul didnβt support it, since his father Ron Paul was against Iraq invasion.
