Enjoy your accomplishment!
Particularly because Dumpty will lay claim to it soon.

Always does. Just sad.

I am one of your constituents and I voted for you. Respectfully, Congresswoman Salinas, the good news you’re touting pales in the face of what is happening, in the SSA and throughout the government. Please find an opportunity to fight back publicly and vocally. Stand up!

Except that MAGA Congress and Doge want to greatly reduce the benefits and staff

redclaylotus.bsky.social•5 days ago

Bravo 👏They are truly deserving.

I hope/wish this would/could happen, but I fear it won’t because of the cowardice of every Republican who voted to cut Medicare, Medicaid, et al.

That’s if the payments ever get processed

brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social•5 days ago

And did you send an actual letter, via USPS, to each person affected, the letter saying something like

DEMOCRATS WORK FOR YOU ?

no
I mean, Franking, it costs you fucking nothing ?????

This is pretty tone deaf of you to post today while they’re cutting staff there.

This bill is not fair to the folks who paid into social security.

How if musk is turning a lot of it off?

It’s good, but I also read somewhere that the payments and something else will speed SS toward insolvency around 2035. Caveat: I want to keep SS around, and I don’t disagree with these payments. I was surprised to see the White House support them. 1/2

sciwhat.bsky.social•5 days ago

I’m not sure if that was just the T administration taking credit for the work of others, or if it’s a long game by the admin and others to try kill SS or force it to be privatized. Thoughts on that? Plans to keep SS going? 2/2

Throwing out a bone to gain more loyalists.

Will there be anyone left to handle a call when they need to resolve an issue ?

skyeguy.bsky.social•5 days ago

I mean.. not if the agency ceases to exist or function by then..

Wow, this post is embarrassing to Oregonians.

We need an audit/investigation into the 2024 election. @electiontruth.bsky.social (Election Truth Alliance) has been analyzing the data and found multiple extreme instances of "anomalies": evidence Republicans rigged the election in favor of Trump. #VerifyTheVote

Would like to see a raise in my $864 a month. It won't even pay my mortgage and utilities. How are we to survive, being old and disabled?

gillianbagwell.bsky.social•5 days ago

Not if you don’t stop #Musk and #rRump from gutting #SocialSecurity. This is not the time to bang your own drum. Tone deaf. #GetToWork

cousinit.bsky.social•5 days ago

But now they are cutting Social Security staff BY 50%.

Anybody will be lucky to get their payments then. Getting signed up for benefits or getting help with problems or questions will be non-existent.

allwonky.bsky.social•5 days ago

And I know from experience that they were short-staffed already. My county is the most populous in Michigan, and there’s only one SS office in the whole county. Appointments have to be scheduled months out, no matter how dire the situation, no exceptions … BEFORE these cuts.

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.

Stop rUMP, deport Musk!
Do it now

hazbindemon.bsky.social•5 days ago

Who are these "others"?

lorenzosunflower.bsky.social•5 days ago

If you think we will see those checks from Musk I have a Florida coastal estate to sell you.

lara3000.bsky.social•5 days ago

Time to read the room. If you and your colleagues from both sides of the aisle voted for the SS Fairness Act, then why are you all not shouting from the rooftops about what is getting done to the SS administration right now?
