Big Balls is back and apparently, he joined the Social Security Administration… right after news broke that DOGE has made Social Security office wait times unbearably long. We don’t believe in coincidences.

Workers want more oversight and accountability of AI technology—not less. But, the Senate’s budget bill would ban state AI regulations for the next decade, jeopardizing workers’ jobs. Tell the Senate: Don’t weaken AI protections!

DOGE apparently used AI to decide which VA contracts to cancel. This is not a game. Veterans’ lives are at stake, and they deserve better than AI deciding what care is available to them.

NOAA is now sending debt notices for “unpaid health care coverage” that federal workers never had… because NOAA fired them. “Not only did they not give us coverage we paid for, now they’re sending us debt notices for the coverage we didn’t have.”

This is what DOGE has done to Social Security: longer wait times, less reliability and more uncertainty for seniors. And that's before they hired Big Balls…

The VA Secretary wants to cut $17 BILLION from veterans health care but doesn’t even know what he is cutting or who he is firing.

The VA is required to keep veterans’ sensitive and private information safe. DOGE may have had access to all of it. They are jeopardizing veterans’ personal information for their own greed.

Elon fired hundreds of thousands of federal workers, gutted our essential services and did everything in his power to try and make the government less efficient and our lives worse. We don’t disapprove of him enough.

Can't say your administration is “completely committed to beating Alzheimer’s” while also trying to cut nearly $2 BILLION from the National Institutes of Health, which helps conduct research into the disease…

DOGE is going to end up costing people money. After firing or buying out 11,000 workers, DOGE’s cuts to the IRS are still going to cost $500 BILLION in lost revenue. Talk about inefficient.

To get revenge against the governor after she stood up to Trump, DOGE decided to cancel the contracts for a Maine program that would electronically register newborns for Social Security. Not only is that inefficient, it's just bewildering.

Elena’s daughter Xiomara is one of millions of Medicaid success stories. But cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act would kick 16 million people off health insurance, hurting kids' medical care. Tell the Senate: no cuts that hurt working families! 231-400-0602

Remember when Elon Musk and DOGE fired all the people in charge of regulating self-driving cars? We’ll give you one guess on who just launched a robotaxi service. DOGE was just about Elon enriching himself, plain and simple. apnews.com/article/tesl...

Turns out, to get any truth from DOGE’s inner circle, they need to be fired. ”[The government] is not as inefficient as I was expecting, to be honest.” It’s almost like we didn’t need DOGE at all.

GAO is typically in charge of getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government. Crazy how they now want to make major cuts to the agency… It’s like getting rid of waste was never the goal

Within days of the start of the Trump administration, Elon Musk and DOGE began work to dismantle USAID, upending the lives of people around that world that depend on America's support. This is the chaos that DOGE brings everywhere they go.

DOGE’s plan was to make enough cuts to Social Security to break it, tell people it was broken, then use that to justify destroying the program even more. We deserve better than a fake government agency destroying our retirement security.

Because DOGE gutting our essential services was SO popular with working people, DOGE supporters in Congress are taking it a step further by trying to cut 16 million people off from their health insurance, make everyone else pay more for health care, and closing 338 hospitals.

On his way out the door from DOGE, Elon Musk stands to gain BILLIONS from a deal with his Starlink program, which he will likely use to gut working people’s essential services even more. It’s time to break up with Elon. Sign the petition:

DOGE's cuts to essential services, like the Center for Disease Control, can mean life or death. "There’ll be outbreaks that don’t get stopped quickly. There’ll be cancers that develop that didn’t have to… there’s a lot of death that’s going to happen."

Think Medicaid cuts won’t hurt you? Think again. The Medicaid cuts in the Senate’s budget bill would raise health care costs for everyone, including people NOT on Medicaid with insurance through work by $485 a YEAR.

Let me repeat: DOGE made up a conspiracy to take over the Social Security Administration and now THEY HAVE OUR SOCIAL SECURITY DATA.

The Senate looked at the biggest health care cut in history in the House Republicans’ budget bill and thought the solution was to cut MORE from Medicaid. Working people need health care more than billionaires need tax cuts.

When it comes to FEMA disaster relief, DOGE cuts don’t discriminate. No matter where you live, what you do, who you are, or who you voted for, you will feel the effects of DOGE’s cuts to our essential services.

Elon Musk and his DOGE cronies were just making up numbers to justify taking over the Social Security Administration. Out of touch, out of control and out of their minds – and working families will pay the price.

It started with Elon calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme. Then it turned into more lies about Social Security “fraud.” Then it turned into a full takeover of Social Security, including access to our personal Social Security data. DOGE is out of control.

16 million people don’t deserve to lose their health insurance – and everyone else shouldn’t have to pay higher premiums – so billionaires can get another tax break. Call your senators and say: no cuts that hurt working families, kids, and retirees!

Yeah, their new strategy should be quitting, cleaning up their mess, and leaving federal workers and our essential services alone.

DOGE’s legacy will be their gutting of working people’s essential services and upending the lives of federal workers who just want to serve their communities across the country. Cruel, wasteful and shameful.
