U.S. is sliding toward #authoritarianism , hundreds of scholars say : NPR

In the benchmark survey, known as #BrightLineWatch, U.S.-based professors rate the performance of American #democracy on a scale from zero (complete #dictatorship ) to 100 (perfect democracy). After President Trump's election in November, scholars gave American democracy a rating of 67. Several weeks into Trump's second term, that figure plummeted to 55.

What could possibly go wrong? #DOGE to rapidly rebuild #SocialSecurity #codebase.

Under any circumstances, a migration of this size and scale would be a massive undertaking, experts tell WIRED, but the expedited deadline runs the risk of obstructing payments to the more than 65 million people in the US currently receiving Social Security benefits.
