    Older Americans are filing for Social Security benefits at a record rate this year, a surge that could reflect growing anxiety about the stability of the retirement system amid cutbacks under the Trumpf junta. The number of people claiming Social Security jumped 17% to 1.8 million this year through May compared with the same period a year ago. New filings are on track to reach four million, up 15% from the prior fiscal year. Claiming Social Security early reduces a person's monthly benefit and can result in lower lifetime benefits for some retirees, as well as their spouses and dependent children.

  • The Palm Beach PD arrested Anthony Thomas Reyes (23) after attempting to scale the wall of Dotard Trumpf's oligarchic Mar-a-Lago estate. The lunatic wanted to propose to the Dotard's granddaughter, Kai Trumpf, and to "spread the Gospel" to the Republican leader. Reyes previously trespassed on the property in Dec 2024. Trumpf was in Wash DC and Kai was on holiday in the Bahamas during the incident. As a granddaughter of an oligarch, Kai's whole life is a holiday.
  • Meanwhile, Florida prison inmate Christopher Davies (31) was indicted for making threats against the Dotard.

    Yunqing Jian (33) and Zunyong Liu (34), citizens of the PRC, were charged with conspiracy, smuggling goods into the US, false statements, and visa fraud. The FBI arrested Jian for allegedly smuggling into the US a fungus called Fusarium graminearum, a potential agroterrorism weapon. This noxious fungus causes "head blight," a disease of wheat, barley, maize, and rice, and is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year. In humans and livestock the toxins cause vomiting, liver damage, and reproductive defects. Jian received Chinese government funding to research this pathogen. Jian's boyfriend, Liu, works at a Chinese university where he conducts research on the same fungus. He allegedly smuggled Fusarium graminearum into the US so that he could conduct research on it with Jian at the University of Michigan. read more
