no repub will vote for that or sign it into law.

they must be thoroughly defeated.

Both are HUGE issues. I always vote Democratic anyway, but I'm watching each candidate like a hawk on these two issues in particular. I heard Jeffries say just yesterday that Supreme Court reform (major reform, he said) was absolutely necessary.

Up social security.
Cuts to military spending.

The "libertarians" of the Cato Institute literally made that shit up in the early 1980s by exploiting the most pessimistic scenario of three promoted by the SS commission back then, in order to create generational warfare between the baby boomers and the older generations. It didn't work then, and it won't work now.

If it were really going "insolvent," Congress would have done something about it. Any shortfall in the "trust fund" can be made up through the general fund. They good and well know this even if the general public doesn't.

Besides, millions of the baby boom cohort have already died. An AI search shows anywhere from 14.5 percent to 17.5 percent of the original cohort have already died. The oldest members are 80, and the youngest 61-62.

. . . are sucking money out of it. Rather than tell the truth about it, Republicans are trying to gaslight Americans into believing it's "full of fraud", "going broke," or "insolvent" and "needs reform". When a Republican says "reform", they mean "destroy".

It's bullshit.

ONLY DEMOCRATS will (once that orange lizard is gone) raise or remove the cap and enact reasonable immigration policies, such as the bill Trump himself stopped Congress from passing in 2024. He called his Congressional friends in 2024 and begged them not to vote for the bill because he wanted to run on immigration. One Republican got in front of cameras and said, "We're not gonna give Biden a win on this."

For Republicans, immigration is a POLITICAL FOOTBALL to be used to their ideological advantage (a white nationalist tool for getting rid of brown people), not an actual issue to be solved. They don't give a rat's ass about immigration or the economy. The only thing they care about is how they can use "immigration" for their political advantage and white nationalist ideals.

intentionally trying to destroy it.

Let the country know, put Ds in charge of both chambers and the Ds will put together responsible legislation that will pass the House and Senate (presumably by reconciliation) and put a bill on the President's desk to ensure SS exists moving forward.

Or just remove the damn thing.
