Though deeply discomforting and disturbing to hear, and God knows this frightens me to death ( as it's my only income...) this was a wonderful segment.
Not sure if this is relevant here, but today Joshua Fisher, “Director of the Office of Administration”, filed an affidavit in State of New Mexico vs. Musk (Case nr. 1:25-cv-00429) swearing that Elon Musk is not the head of DOGE.
From Social Security, I recently received a rejection letter for a SSI application. But I did NOT apply for SSI! Anyone else get one? I hope this is just a glitch. I did receive an approval letter more than a month for regular social security. I am to receive my first check in March🤞
well I called today cuz I am leary of musk and his lil rats..soc sec said I am getting regular soc sec n when someone turns 65, they automatically check for ssi for disabled or low wages..fyi
It's time to call on all Democratic voters to keep checking their registration and finding ways to protect our vote in 2026. They are rigging the elections against us. We must do all we can to get our voters voting.
The DOGE teams access to IRS & SS systems computers gives them what they need to give Trump control over the the Legislative, and Judicial legs of our government. Already removing judges working on immigration. The right info can sink a memeber of the Supreme Court or Congress
Make sure you complain Do you suspect someone of committing fraud, waste, or abuse against Social Security? You can submit a report online at https://oig.ssa.gov or contact the OIG’s fraud hotline at 1-800-269-0271.
I bet it hasn't occurred to "Trusk" that most people on Social Security now were the generation that picked up signs and marched for, let's see: 1) Civil Rights, 2) Equal Rights and 3) Stop the war in Vietnam. We're not happy about alot of things these days. Watch out, we're back!
Need y'all to teach the young ones to stop making paragraph long chants lol. As a military vet I couldn't even track all their long ass chants last weekend
For the last 50 years the minimum wage hasn't cept up with the cost of living (COL), it had many of economic prblms could've been avoided. More $ would have shord SS. More tax would've reduced the deficit, poverty & welfare. And if current wages were commiserate/COL there wouldn't be inflation
Willy Sutton, the famous bank robber, was asked why he robbed banks. His reply: "Cause that's where the money is." Elon's brownshirts will eventually go to where the money is: Medicare, Social Security, & Medicaid. If you're older or have a relative in a care facility, YOU WILL BE SCREWED BY TRUMP!
People like you and Rachel are doing a great job of keeping us informed, but you're mostly preaching to the choir. Can we get more truth tellers booked in Fox?
@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com please don't forget VA disability checks. All of us broken unemployed vets live on our disability and no one has really mentioned it.
This is our right!! We earned it for working all our lives! What is WRONG WITH THAT GOP WHO TURNS THEIR HEADS AND KISSES THE RING so they can get reelected!!! This is unbelievable and unacceptable!
I hope American seniors overwhelmingly vote for Democrats in midterm election giving majority in both houses of Congress. This is the only way we can stop Trump and Musk.
Wonder how this will go over. They should vote out every GOP from office for this even being a headline. Next election, they will all be tripping over themselves as they tell the voters how wrong this is while their personal elections near. Crickets right now.
"And now they're coming for your Social Security money. They want your f**kin' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street." - George Carlin
They know better not to mess with our hard earned benefits. I went to my account just to make sure no one is fooling around with my info. All seniors on SS should do the same in my opinion.
Ok…enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is too much…Please stop voting for people who would rather be rich than honest…and caring…It affects everyone…regardless of race…God please help America 🇺🇸
It’s dumb to act like Musk is the only person responsible for destroying our gov agencies just like the dumb debate about P2025. trump supported P2025 in 2016 and he’s supporting DOGE actions now. I’m still seeing Red uninformed spout fraud lies tho. Got to burst that info bubble
I posted your words for word,opening comments;to social media,last night (1st time in historySSpmts not secure etc).I resist loudly on social media.ImmediatelyI have a thread full of folks calling me a liar.I have just you to say,proof that it is true.I research everything,you report truth.Thanks
I hear you Lawrence but this is just a distraction. If they touched SS, every GOP in Congress would lose their seat in red states. This will never happen. Trump is just dropping hand grenade's to distract from his real plans. Let him go and watch his shit show implode. He will hang himself.
Maybe, but since the government is being broken into small pieces already, what if elections are banned? A dictatorship can't survive where people have a real voice. MAGA wants to silence EOC, CBS, ABC and AP. Just where do you think this is leading to? History is repeating itself.
He can't ban elections in blue states because our Constitution states that elections are handled within each state. As far as silencing CBS ABC he can't do that unless they want to be silenced. How's he going to silence them? It's all hype to distract from syphoning money to his billionaire buddies.
Like I said, this is all a smoke screen so your eye will be taken off his real motive; pilfering the government of assets and cash to give to his billionaire buddies and they'll take care of him when he's out of office. He can't run again for office and there's no way in hell America will let him.
I fear the game plan is to scrape the data, fire everyone but a skeleton crew, then privatize the function. After criticizing their performance, of course.
Exactly! Republicans have wanted to privatize SS for years but could never get it through congress. Now, with Musks help, Trump will force it. Won’t wall street fat cats love that. Republicans won’t do shit to stop it since they are both scared and bought and paid for.
People should protest Republicans in congress to get rid of Musk and his crew of teeny-bopper hackers or impeach them if they don't. Then let's see how quickly they change their tunes.
Can you please name the employees of the Treasury? No? How about the employees of the IRS? Also no? How about the employees of any of the other departments in the government? Still no? This may come as a shock to you but, most all of them have access to your info also 😱
Please share this important video. The first 30 minutes of it. Lawrence informs us about Musk and his staff. Gaining access to private and personal Social Security information for every American citizen. A MUST WATCH!
Stop !! I don’t believe this one. He thinks dead people are getting paid. Seniors are panicking. Like Eisenhower said it would be the end of the gop. This kind of fear mongering isn’t helpful
Why are you not reporting Elon Musk is not a valid US citizen? He lied to obtain student visas and used that lie in his citizenship application. Fraud voids the application. He confirmed the lie under oath. Under law Musk is not a valid US citizen.
We know how trump behaves when he loses or someone or something he supports loses and we know how trump falls apart when someone stands up to him. What we have yet to see is musk. How does musk behave when he loses or when someone stands up to him? I look forward to seeing if he can handle it.
I knew when trump was running they were going to steal money from the treasury but did not know how, now I know. They need to be handcuffed and marched out of the white house and carted off to jail.
What will break Trump is messing with Social Security. (Doubtless even he gets that.) He has big support among paranoid, ignorant white retirees. If you see what some write on FB Trump-idolizing pages, it would make you sick. “Waste” is everywhere… but they aren’t “waste,” of course. I know a few.
A notable quote from the HBO series ‘Billions’ goes like this.
“The only thing more dangerous than a man with unlimited resources, is a man with nothing left to lose.“
If SocSec is eliminated, then millions of us, who paid into it for our entire adult working lives, will have nothing left to lose.
They might think that a bunch of pissed off senior citizens are relatively harmless, but most of those senior citizens have several younger relatives who will suddenly be burdened with the task of taking care of them.
A bunch of pissed off senior citizens will be the least of their worries.
I'm 61 and taking care of my 82 year old Mom. I should be eligible for Social Security in June, but at this point I doubt that it will be there for me.
But I'm also an Infantry Vet, with Black Belts in two different arts, and a Brown Belt in a third...
It would also be wise to remember many of us seniors were protesting government overreach when we were in our twenties. Do not poke the slumbering dragon.
In my case, I don't have any kids and there is no one I can turn to if they cut mine or take it away completely. I paid into this fund for 47 years and it's my money. I don't understand how they seem to think it belongs to them.
I almost wished they'd try.. I've got senior and disabled relatives who are Trump supporters and who watch Fox News religiously. They also rely on propaganda pushing social media like META for their news. The ONLY thing they'd understand is Trump and his corrupt Republicans' hands in THEIR pockets.
Not just seniors, every working American is paying into the system. Younger generations are also possessive of money they feel they earned. Then military retirement will be next.
Okay experts this is a challenge directed at y’all… WE THE PEOPLE want a PRESIDENTIAL RE- DO ELECTION! Now I’ve done some research on the matter it’s not easy but I strongly believe we are in strange & unusual times the constitution does answer the question. I’m throwing down the gauntlet.
Elon needs to be arrested for trespassing into all these departments and hacking private data of ALL Americans! He does not get a pass card in this monopoly game. It's time for ALL to pursue his arrest. NOW
I'm not saying we don't do anything. But there are suggestions that shouldn't be done. That's 1. Unless you fancy a civil war when we are on the brink of a world war.
The national guard has no authority to make arrests. It's why they cant make arrests on the border. Only assist. And the capitol police are under the thumb of Congress which is Republican run. So again NO.
My MIL is almost 102 years old...I hear that according to DOGE everyone over 100 is presumed dead and receiving SS checks is a fraudulent event. She will likely live for much longer, that crazy old bird is woke AF, lives at home and is mobile and healthy. They want to stop her payments?
Trump wanted no restrictions on gun laws, and Musk is clearly unconcerned with the outrage he is causing in this country. Everyone has a
breaking point; they may well be tempting fate.
If Elon Musk is permitted to gain access to sensitive, personal information from the Social Security offices, as well as the I.R.S it could amount to one of the largest data breaches in US history. What would the world's richest man need it for? To make the system more efficient? Really?
Lawrence I quoted the stats you gave last night about $$ social security takes in annually and $$ social security gives out annually. I am getting lots of push back about those numbers. Are they on SSA website?
Now that we've reported on what Trump and his Muskrat are doing, why not FOCUS on WHO is letting them do it. Namely REPUBLICANS. It is EVERY Republican in the corrupt and complicit GOP who got us here. Without them, Trump is a JOKE instead of the freaking THREAT that he is.
In the 10 key battleground states seniors voted overwhelmingly for Trump. I am a senior and I did NOT vote for that cretin but am wondering how those senior trump voters feel about him now. Now, that he has his hatchet man messing around with our social security and disability payments!
Elon Musk, a sadly high-functioning autistic billionaire with Asperger's syndrome, causing total chaos and destruction in our fragile democracy; makes an ideal partner with our despicable, lawless and compulsive liar, CFPOTUS. A very sick and deadly duo.
Holy crap, if we don’t get ours next week we’ll be thrown out in the street in a week because our rent is due. I am freaking out! “For the first time in American History, Social Security is not guaranteed”
To The Supreme Court
C.Thomas, S.Alito Jr., John Roberts, N.Gorsuch, B. Kavanaugh, A. Barrett. You have violated your oath of office.This is a shameful time in America's history where the laws that were established to protect the people of this nation have failed under your watch. RESIGN TRAITORS!
I never thought I’d live to see America imploding. I never imagined that the USA would want to attack us in Canada. 🇨🇦
Republicans are a disgraceful rat infestation and from my perspective they are taking over a once beautiful country 😢
YOU BET and people need to start finding their voice. Regular US citizens, both sides of the aisle, need to find their voice and start standing up about what they are ACTUALLY doing. It is time to fight, it is time to take to the streets. It is time to march . . if not now when??
Thank you for that great report. I am a Canadian concerned with what I am watching in the US. Musk is trying to interfere in Canada’s upcoming elections through support for Pierre Polilivre
Absolutely terrifying for those, like myself, who will lose our homes and healthcare. How many of us will end up on the streets without our medication‼️😭
They’re coming for Social Security—and they think you won’t notice. Musk is spreading lies, Trump is stacking the deck, and Project 2025 is the blueprint for gutting your retirement. This article I wrote exposes the plan unfolding now—and how to stop it.

Doge stooges are installing malware in the systems they hack. The goal is to monitor s control the payment systems from afar. Let’s not pretend it’s an audit, there are no accountants involved.
I worked all my life and unfortunately became disabled at 62, I'm collecting SS disability, I paid into this, do they realize they will have how many homeless as this could be their only income???
#ArrestMuskNOW #DOGEisACriminalEntity LYING about long standing Government Institutions so you can justify illegal entry into those institutions is a CRIME against ALL Americans & just because you make up an entity to enforce those lies does NOT give it credibility to do so & that is also a CRIME!

On SocSec, you're right, it runs very efficiently.
But your team's arithmetic isn't a strength:
Saying 58,000 SocSec workers each handle "1 million" recipients could be true only if Social Security had 58 BILLION recipients! Oops!
Loved the SNL part too.
must get stronger in our protest.
GET ON THIS STORY.

I'll be waiting on that answer!
What they didn't take into consideration is many of the pissed seniors are also Vets...As opposed to a Draft Dodger

Someone needs to get some balls and extinguish his insane actions.
