Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

I signed up online. Can he do that or have someone help him with that? He'd need to create an account on this SS website. It's pretty easy. Here's some info: https://www.ssa.gov/faqs/en/questions/KA-01891.html
Jesus Christ. More money for old people. More more more for the ancient— it’s time that we spent the money on the kids. This is short sighted and dumb.
Since you’re not running for office after your term, you might as well go all out and call for a fucking revolution! Let’s hear your war cry in Congress! What do you have to lose?
Senator, do you know if the
Co-Presidents and Big Balls
will be allowing SS checks to
be sent out this month?
I’m wracking by brains, but
I can’t think of any reason they
would just send out our checks
instead of stealing the money.
Senator Warren how in the world can these people have not been vetted Be allowed to get into sensitive information without legal action be taken against them?
Why exactly can't Democrats institute legal action this is ridiculous. What they have done and what they are doing is illegal.
What do you mean? They have been filed in the judicial system and are currently being processed and tried. They're not "anywhere." One of the funding things is about to get heard by the SCOTUS after being shot down by the lower courts. This is our system working properly.
It's taking too long.. i believe that is what Trump and the far right planned. What is happening in DC is absolutely out of control, and we can't keep waiting on courts to decide to make decisions..
We must take to the streets.
What's even worse about this is calling daily and getting put on hold for 2.5hrs a day and never getting through because the call drops. The call back option no longer exists and the office will only accept visits by appointments that must be made by phone!
Why didnt all of you in congress bring these forward before loss of ALL3 branches. It might have made a difference back in November. Today it is just notes on a napkin
Sorry but even I in Europe know that the "traditional" democrats don't/didn't listen to Bernie Sanders or Elisabeth Warren or AOC or other progressive democrats.
Dear Lady, Help! Tell everyone the old poor single women are freaking out, If we lose social security we are done. I may lose my house and can barely afford it or groceries. TN sucks, tell Marsha she is a low life. NO SLOTKIN MUST GO WITH POPULAR NOT RETHUGLICAN WANABEE VOTER!
You have taken 14 days off this month, agreed to unanimous consent almost 400 times, and your proposal doesn't ensure my grandma will get her check next week.
I greatly fear losing Social Security and/or Medicare. If that happens I think the only thing I could do is kill myself. I was on Social security disability for 12 years and now it has switched to regular SS. I didn't expect my life to be like this. Disability wasn't in the forecast.
We the people don’t say thank you enough to those that are fighting for us and risking everything for our Democracy.Thank Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
@warren.senate.gov , what about disabled people living with dignity--is that a concern of yours and @sanders.senate.gov ? If so, why erase this majority from promotion of your bill?
Senator, you & the rest of the Democrats need to do something to stop trump & musk. I don’t know how you do it but please DO SOMETHING. We are all scared we’ll have nothing left. Who’s to say they won’t steal our bank accts? These high schoolers have access to every Americans info. DO SOMETHING NOW!
Stick a fork in it the Trump presidency is done. The one thing you don't mess with is social security and everyone knows it. Once the fuckups inevitably happen and the checks fail to go out DT and the muskrats will be driven from office. At least when it's over you can finally push taxes on the 1%
No, it's not really "OK then" OK then is what's gotten us in this damn mess in the first place, not demanding more, not demanding fighters, Warren is far far better than most, however this milktoast "oh leave the poor poor dem politicians alone they are doing their best" is a bunch of bullcrap.
Omg, myself and others have listed these things off so many times.
1) put trump & gop funders on blast, organize boycott against them (it's all the politicians listen too)
2) get loud to capture media attention & label trump etc fascists do not work with any of them
3) a ton more already posted
People on Social Security in wheelchairs and on stretchers need to block entrances to Senator Mike Crapo's office and get arrested just like what happened when the GOP tried to cancel Obamacare.
Keep using this...keep writing over and over...I've probably written over 100 times. I'm GD sick of this crap Congress is shoveling out, I WANT to make them sick of me too.
If you want to see an angry revolt from people who have plenty of time on their hands and "old timer" anger issues, just rile up seniors by messing with their social security. If you think the town halls so far have been rough, they would pale in comparison. This would be a real shit storm.

If he touches social security I am going to sue him myself . That is money I paid into fi
Or over 50 years. It's not the governments money it's mine and if I could have invested it myself it would have been a lot more then what I get monthly.

*GOT THAT?
Funny, I remember way back in 2016 & 2020 when you had the opportunity to “get that done” & work w Sanders for the enormous good of the people but instead chose 🔪 in the back. You chose your own self interest & helped kill the progressive momentum… now here we are, w you still just talking. Thx Liz
We know what should be, what could be but the reality is we need to confront what is and what's coming if this thing isn't derailed soon.
They are doing everything they said they would do & the deer in the headlights moment has to end NOW!
They have a plan. They have a date.
We're one day closer.
This will sound horrible but, I fear they are trying to "get rid" of senior citizens.
-No vaccines for those dangerous illnesses that could kill them
-Not enough money to cover their medicines and food.
I think this is all planned. 🥺
It's not just seniors. The disabled, the infirm and everyday people - that's why they're doing away with vaccines. They think they can have their AI do all the work while they sit in their palaces. Their plan hinges on everyone just laying down and dying. Doesn't work that way.
They don't want us to get checks at all. They want us dead and buried. Look how much they saved during Covid. If there's no one left to collect Social Security, then they don't need it. Same for Medicare. It's way too expensive to keep us around once we get sick.
Great ideas. But how do we stop them! What should we be doing? I want to do more than read about or express my outrage on social media (or donate money for campaigns).
I'm sorry senator you are clearly working on logic, empathy, and real concern for American people. The people that have turned this country into part of the axis of evil are looking to downsize not just the government but also elderly, frail, costly constituents. This is not the same game. It's new.
This 🎯. It’s not enough to simply be on the record as opposed to this or that vote. And sure, we need legislators who can pass, not just write, good policy, but “wait and see, gee, that’s concerning, look at this report based on facts & logic” ain’t gonna cut it in this situation. Gloves off!
Maybe you and your party could have actually done something to back that statement over the last 50 years maybe you could stop doing corporations bidding and maintaining the unsustainable system that is sacrificing life on earth to make number go up and work for the fucking people
There is already a shortage in staffing. They have backlogs of disability claims. You have to make an appointment at the very few SSA offices if you want to go in person. And even then it is a long wait. Musk is RUINING our country.
I don’t think many people know that this means we in the sandwich generation will have to move our parents into our homes, get a second job to support them AND take care of them while they convalesce or else they’re out on the streets. In the best circumstances it’s barely manageable
Hey all you Dem party elected officials & DNC staff, if you’re not out getting cuffed, detained &/or arrested you’re falling short of “good trouble.” Your pearl clutching ain’t gonna do it.
And before any of you Dem apologist come at me know this: I’m not the guy you want in the mix right now, I’m the guy you’ll soon NEED in the mix when bullets start flying.
Oh we do. Everyone has a skill & talent and with it a place in the resistance.

Dems can point things out all day, but Americans need Dems to get to work and stop this crazy nonsense. We need an action oriented Democratic Party, not just an observant one.
Wake up America, your president is doing everything he can to help out Russia you people need to get your head out of your ass and understand Trump is on Russia’s side, not America’s side. These ignorant bastards elected him president. Once again, this is not what they wanted.
You need to explain why it is happening and what are people going to do about it, this guy is selling out the country he’s selling out Americans he’s selling out everything what the fuck are you people doing in the Senate? He’s a Russian agent don’t you understand
They had access to Project 2025 for a year-and-a-half yet they did nothing to prepare. It's like they're robots performing the same function over and over regardless of external input. I've honestly never seen a more useless political party than the democrats.
I feel at this point it's too late. I hate to be 'that person' but this feels like the end of this empire. The neo-libs delivered us to this doom and there's no turning back because they're taking up space 'till the end. Whether they realize it or not, their performative bs just ushered in our end.
I think pessimists like me need optimists like you to keep us going. 😊 I think we're necessary parts of the social eco-system. As long as it doesn't dampen your willingness to act, hope is of great value in times like these.
Maybe a little mean of me, Senator Warren, and I accept that. However given the age demographic of who voted for Fascist ShatPants I'm less inclined to make things comfy for boomers.
You can't be implying let people over a certain age are all comfy? If you're reading this and you know someone that age isn't who is not... please comment!
And what about those who didn't vote for trump, or the disabled? Should they be cast into the streets and left to die so you can have your smug revenge?
I didn't call you a name, unless you consider centrist to be a slur. You're reveling in the harm of others to satisfy your petty need for revenge. But those same actions will hurt lots of people who didn't vote for trump. Can you morally justify your apparent delight of that?
Maybe our senators should be preparing to starve the government and Trump loyalists of money instead of posting our widely known progressive policies on bluesky to "get the fire going". Maybe our senators should take back the power they handed over to the executive these last 60 years...just an idea
True
Thank you Elizabeth. Such a simple solution and one that does not add further pain to people already pained.
I can’t imagine how the republicans didn’t think of this.
Of course we should, but It feels like they would rather line them up on the Cliff's edge and push them over instead of taking care of them. They constantly mock the handicapped, the old and the sick.
Here’s an idea—why not take the millions you’ve raked in as an elected official and put it back into the system you pretend is under attack? Oh wait, no need to pretend—we all know your outrage is as fake as your so-called Indian heritage.
It’s insane. And if denied, you wait months just to get a hearing.
Then some administrative law judges take months just to write a decision post-hearing.
Had one judge wait 1 YEAR to write a decision!
The delayed process should be criminal, frankly.
I'm 99.999% sure Trump has blackmail on ALL the Republicans who coddle him & enable him. They show no signs of having a conscience, sense of duty, allegiance to the Constitution, or compassion for the constituency.
They can't be shamed.
They feel no guilt.
They are paralyzed with fear of Trump.
I'm pretty sure nearly every congressmen is a sexual criminal of some extreme type. Beginning to believe those folks sell powerful in order to ensure they can entertain and get away with such proclivities at this point. Otherwise, the Epstein situation would've been/would be very public/transparent.
As a follow up...right now, I'm very concerned that any more SS checks will be available, once the billionaires get their promised tax cuts. All the rest of the country was promised was cheaper eggs and we can't get that. Fact is we are being cheated out of a future🤯
Ya know, bitch,
IF you hadn't worked so hard to cheat Bernie...we could have had all that AND YOU could have been a hero. But NOOOOO. You had to cheat for shitllary! Thanks a lot
Why can't any of you in the Senate do anything about this chaos? Is our system of government so broken that an unelected South African immigrant billionaire can so easily dismantle our democracy so easily? WTH is happening?
The great thing about giving the poor more money is that it goes back into the economy, creating layers of growth and wealth. The rich just hoard what they get.
You should look into subsidized housing 55+. It's 30% of your income even if you're on SS. It takes a while to get in and it may not be there for very long but it's worth looking into.
Millions are about to create a senior caravan invasion all headed to Mar-a-Lago for you to take care of, you thought the immigrants headed to the border were a threat, take away Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid and I assure you, it won’t be pretty!
And no more caps on paying in to SS while working!
Social Security Cap 2025
The Social Security tax cap for 2025 is set at $176,100, meaning earnings above this amount are not subject to Social Security tax.
Are the Dems prepared with messaging to let people know they will not approve Trump's budget because he wants to reward the wealthiest and let the poorest get sick and die with no services to help?
And it's not rosy for the ones they WANT, just to exploit (remember Musk wanting to import workers b/c those in the USA want too much?) and have die off when we're of no more use to THEM.
Plus let women die due to pregnancy/childbirth so they can "trade her in on a younger model"
Get to work making that happen, rather than pontificating to us. Our only way of making that happen is to elect people to represent us, and for them to do that work.
Now we know that seniors like myself and my wife, are completely expendable. But I have news for those MAGA morons. Seniors are the most likely group to vote, and you can bet you will be hearing from us in November. So watch for us.
I would like to not have to choose between paying for my health care (Medicare+private insurance) and fixing my electrical wiring.
At 73 and aging rapidly it's not much of a choice.
Senator, please understand the moment we are in, and that no policy arguments really matter right now. They don’t care. And they don’t care who dies, gets sick, goes bankrupt, loses their job etc. start fighting the fight we need you to fight.
Sign the petition to Impeach Trump/Vance. https://www.impeachtrumpagain.org?nvep=&hmac=&...
2. Go TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD HOMES OF R REPS, WHERE YOU LIVE and peacefully protest with how they have hurt us.
3. If in DC protest at Heritage foundation.
Democrats, get your heads out of the sand before it’s genuinely too late. Helping people is not the plan, so shaming them won’t work. This is the plan:
Maybe instead of condemning people who couldn't care less that they're being condemned, maybe the democrats and ALL Americans ought to start working on war plans to protect our country from musk, trump and their master Putin's abuses of our country.
Love you, Liz. However, you're stating the obvious. Someone in charge better find out what our military is going to do when given the order to flood our streets to kill us. Are we going to be the USA or Russia?
Please don't forget about younger disabled adults when you talk about social security. Many who are incapable of working are barely surviving on SSI alone. People's disabled children eventually age out of the programs they're in and have to apply for ssi/ssdi too. What happens when the money's gone?
Save social security! We can flip two U.S. House seats in Florida April 1. Help call Voters To Re-Enroll In Vote-By-Mail today. Call from anywhere in the U.S. until 9pm ET, 8pm CT, 7pm MT, 6pm PT. https://www.mobilize.us/gayforcongress/event/758405/
Why? All vote by mail expired in 2024 & voters must be re-enrolled.
“Lowering corporate profit margins could be a game-changer: reducing inflation, boosting consumer spending, and driving economic growth. When prices drop, demand rises—fueling jobs and investment. A balanced economy benefits everyone, but it will never happen American greed killed American dreams
They start messing with our ss&we start missing payments, we will be making a trip to Washington soon. It is our money, not charity,&we want all of it&"we"won't leave until we get it. It is ours!! @housegop.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senategop.bsky.social
Let's let them feel the pain for a bit. I am. Maybe America is suffering from not realizing who is really to blame for their issues. Some ebola, starvation and a few planes falling out of the sky every day might wake people up. Actually trying to help has brought us here.
This! Great idea!!! Wherever cowards and sycophants leave a leadership vacuum, the right side of history needs to go fill it ASAP. No time for norms or the same old party politics.
i agree with you, but we need to point out that a large number of older people are actively participating in the dismantling of these infrastructures and counterproductively fighting access to services because if someone else gets something different it’s unfair to them and they cry about it
Why aren’t you unilaterally OPPOSING all things GOP? Why aren’t you forcing your way into Treasury? You have the right. Bring some big guys with you & knock doors down! This is OUR $ & data! You Dems SUCK at standing up for us! We want to see physical action if need be! Passive milquetoast. Bah!
It is past time for you and the other Democratic "leadership" to pass the reigns on to younger more energetic more engaged members of the party. Under your stewardship we find ourselves here in this mess. I and many others, don't believe you are up to the challenge. Pass the torch.
Then, let's make it illegal for government officials to accept bribes or, as the corrupt call it lobbiest money.
We wouldn't be in this situation currently if our elected officials had morals and didn't allow corporate money to influence their votes that mainly undermine their constituents.
So, how are you going to make these awful things SO VERY PUBLIC (media blitz) that the idiots, er, PEOPLE without discernment that voted for tRump cannot be lied to, and they SEE how he is killing this country??
I survive on social security $1465 a month. I had to spend all my retirement savings taking care of both parents until they died. Couldn't continue work & too young for social security or medicare. I had no income but still had expenses like healthcare. I am drowning. Need $500 more a mo to live.
There are many of us, especially women. When we made our way through the workforce, we got paid alot less then men, and got very little benefits, always watching the men be promoted while we did all the work.
While working over 45 years, I never had a pension & 401ks weren't available until in my 50s. At the same time, companies said, because of lower profits, we can't match your 401k contribution. This happened for yrs. Single women really got screwed.
Senator Warren, don’t forget that not only retired workers receive #SocialSecurity.
It’s disabled workers (I am one of them), and workers’s survivors and dependents.
Yes, as a disabled person, the importance of SSI and SSDI are important. Musk mask firing will delay so many cases including those newly disabled by long COVID. The workers need more support not less. #disability
In addition, more people will become unable to work over time without access to healthcare services. Medicaid has a program called MAWD that was specifically created to partial bypass standard guidelines to allow people with disabilities and chronic health conditions to have gainful employment /1
and access to the healthcare coverage they need.
Also worth noting: Currently, only seven states are in talks about expanding their Medicaid coverage in an attempt to foil GOP plans. I would encourage anyone today to call their elected officials and ask for the same.
Liz, that's lame. The entire Civil Service and rule of law (inspectors general being fired, unitary executive being pushed) is being vivisected and you focus on benefit packages?
Here's what YOU can do: organize weekly protests and bus people to DC. Ask people what their fears are during the ride.
If we want savings, cut the USA Military industrial complex budget by 10, 20, heck 30% or more.
30% of 916B total expenditure ('23) is $274,800,000,000 we just saved. If we're looking at "Efficiency" making fewer cuts to get a massive benefit would be the way to do it. Not whatever the funk EM does
I agree but do you think Congress can make that happen..expanding SS to make it easier for us seniors ???Do you have any power to do that? Or is it just wish full thinking ?? My confidence in the democratic Congress isn’t good and the GOP is disgusting..
What’re You doing about it, Ma’am… flappin’ your gums & fundraising offa this debacle?
Oh, I’m sorry… how many 100’s of millions 💰did Dems flush down the toilet running up to last November?
You shouldn’t be given a nickel until y’all get your act together.
& Don’t tell me you’re defending democracy
Hey Liz, how about you and the rest of the Dem Senators stop giving Unanimous Consent every day you show up to work? You guys should have ground Congress to a halt from day one! You voted for Rubio FFS! You and all Dem leaders have abandoned us.
We're tired of threats.... years now. Seniors are being mentally abused. So....let's close out accounts and get the entire balance...... at once. All now. 68 million of us. How about you......notify on our behalf.
My husband passed away in December. His direct deposit was reversed within 48 hours. I have been calling to set up an appointment to get the survivor benefit difference but cant wait the estimated 3 hours to talk to a representative.
Try to contact your representative. They should be able to help you. Of course, whether they actually will varies greatly, but just in case you haven't exhausted that route.
I am saddened by your loss, and I hope this isn't causing you hardship.
I'm a retired nurse. SS is important to me and my family. Like everyone else who worked for decades allowing the government to use our retirement savings until we were older, I don't understand how they can rob us of what's ours. What this robbery would to use would be a crime.
Senator Warren - I am retired, living way below the poverty line. I worked in social services, as a case manager for a non profit, in the school system where I worked with students with IEPs; I’ve been a group home parent, worked with the houseless dually diagnosed. I had no student loan relief…
...that would be compassionate which is the antithesis of the drive to destroy the American healthcare, Social Security, and health insurance infrastructure...
You all need to stop parsing words. “They are in favor of killing seniors, and of letting them starve and go bankrupt to get their medications and healthcare.” Nothing in that statement is false and it’s no longer even hyperbole.
Why are you worrying about sending more money to S.S. recipients now ? You hypocrite idiots were spending billions of tax payers money on stupid shit in far away lands.
Maybe you should be calling for the arrest of folks scrubbing top secret info without a clearance. High treason is high treason. We took oaths! Uphold yours.
Congress won't save us. They're broken records at this point. They don't see themselves as defenders of the constitution, just lawmakers. Republican do lawmakers and defend their mein kempf
Disabled Americans also need social security and disability to live. They aren't able to qualify for medical benefits under current law if they make more than $1k/mo, so many do not work (even if they can) in order to get their medical needs met.
They're trying to bankrupt our government for their own gain. In doing so, they will send our nation into epic level poverty.
They are paying the least amount of tax on almost 100 years, and their wealth is growing at the fastest rates in history. 🩵Thank you @rbreich.bsky.social

I planned to retire this year, and I'm afraid I won't get it submitted before they break the system!

Why? All vote by mail expired in 2024 & voters must be re-enrolled.

REAL THREATS Are Coming From #Trump and #Musk!
THREATS TO EVERYONE - Including ALL MAGA-and ALL MAGA Families!
MAGA Needs To Start Saying More and More-Publicly-WE DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS!
Put Americans First! 🇺🇸
Maybe we should all get the money we paid into the system!
where are its offices located?
what is its charter?
who are its officers?
where can i find its bylaws, policies, and procedures?
by what authority does it act?
to whom is it accountable?
to what oversight is it subject?

If you had to guess, how many of your colleagues have been bought off by corporate shills?
If no one is working at SSA, who is crediting the funds taken out of your paycheck?
We wouldn't be in this situation currently if our elected officials had morals and didn't allow corporate money to influence their votes that mainly undermine their constituents.
It’s disabled workers (I am one of them), and workers’s survivors and dependents.
Bet it won't exist when I finally do. 🫠
Also worth noting: Currently, only seven states are in talks about expanding their Medicaid coverage in an attempt to foil GOP plans. I would encourage anyone today to call their elected officials and ask for the same.
Here's what YOU can do: organize weekly protests and bus people to DC. Ask people what their fears are during the ride.
30% of 916B total expenditure ('23) is $274,800,000,000 we just saved. If we're looking at "Efficiency" making fewer cuts to get a massive benefit would be the way to do it. Not whatever the funk EM does
Oh, I’m sorry… how many 100’s of millions 💰did Dems flush down the toilet running up to last November?
You shouldn’t be given a nickel until y’all get your act together.
& Don’t tell me you’re defending democracy
I am saddened by your loss, and I hope this isn't causing you hardship.
Every American child would be lifted out of poverty.
Every American Senior could live and die with dignity.
Why do Americans tolerate anything less?

Lunch money to you I'm sure, but would be just enough for me to blow this popsicle stand.
Sadly, a little to late for DEMs who don't have the bully pulpit. You gave that up to Thune and porn boy Johnson.
Rent.
Utilities.
Food.
Toiletries.
Cleaning products.
Laundry.
Telephone.
Every month I'm minus $200.
Can't afford Christmas, or any holiday.
This is what I worked all my life for?
Republican policies mean death. Let's start calling it.
They are paying the least amount of tax on almost 100 years, and their wealth is growing at the fastest rates in history. 🩵Thank you @rbreich.bsky.social
