Give no quorum, then they can't pass it.

Polite Patty reads the News of the day.

Polite Patty is doing her best to inform the people that she views as ignorant idiots incapable of reading a newspaper.

This is VERY important to Polite Patty.

What is NOT important is naming the names of the Democrats that voted for cloture.

corey44.bsky.social•33 days ago

Take lessons from Bernie and AOC!

pointc.bsky.social•33 days ago

The Republican policy on Social Security is to make it so inefficient that they can claim it needs to be privatized. Then their Wall Street buddies can use it for gambling purposes, lose it all (after taking massive fees) and then say "whoops our bad".

You and Congress must stop this NOW!

okgrown.bsky.social•33 days ago

Isn’t it kinda weird the same tactics are used by big companies when you try to call in and get help too….shuffle you around on hold till you give up….weird…..it’s almost like government services shouldn’t run like a business because their goals should be to serve people, not profits…weird….

gbaker1.bsky.social•33 days ago

Their plan is to leave us "sick, broke and divided" (and ultimately dead) while they loot. There comes a point where talking is no longer effective.

oldspot.bsky.social•33 days ago

The only response is to eliminate the cap and tax All earnings, including capital gains from the richest 1%, for SocSec. Make them wish they had never uttered the words.

oldspot.bsky.social•33 days ago

Why is Chuck still Leader? He is weakness in the face of thuggery.

banzairoundeye.bsky.social•33 days ago

They should seriously be booting him out, but nope. Business as usual.

Schumer needs to step down. We need leadership that understands what we are up against and will fight for and with us!

jbrownblue.bsky.social•33 days ago

They want that $2.7T social security trust fund. Congress MUST stand strongly against executive branch theft of OUR money!

tonequest.bsky.social•33 days ago

We’ve gone from being the envy of the rest of the World to being “3rd World Country” and it’s only taken a few greedy clowns about 8 weeks.

damagebooks.bsky.social•33 days ago

Not to mention continue to require contributions.

keepromancing.bsky.social•33 days ago

Should we make them pay their fair share?

(Yes. Including Chuck Schumer.)

Senator, what are you DOING about this? (We have news outlets to tell us what’s happening. You were elected to act, not report.)

dpsea.bsky.social•33 days ago

Seen this playbook before - create a "fraud crisis," implement "verification" systems that block legit recipients, then declare the program "broken" to justify cuts. The same voices concerned about Social Security never worry about corporate subsidies & tax loopholes.
👏 Thank you for standing firm!

kesl59.bsky.social•33 days ago

Patty, we know what’s happening. What we don’t know is what you are doing about it.

gordston.bsky.social•33 days ago

BECAUSE we, the people who HAVE paid into OUR (government IRA, if you like), cannot afford to be ROBBED at this point in our lives! And therefore WILL NOT TOLERATE it!

gordston.bsky.social•33 days ago

Therefore, Patty, you and your colleagues need to put a STOP to this criminality. OR get ready for civil war.

radishburps.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yes ... so why are these agencies still complying with these illegal & unconstitutional orders??
Aren't they too required to uphold their oaths & duties?

It's a grift. Please begin to call it that. They're dividing us to steal our tax dollars. Billionaires and the GOP don't want solutions. They only want more. A government contract equals guaranteed income for a business, but are there guarantees for the taxpayers.

We KNOW all about the enemy’s strategy, lies and manipulation. That’s why grassroots protests are growing. Senate Dems MUST replace Chuck Schumer to gain back any credibility!

The same playbook they use for voter suppression. I guess you stick with what works.

Now that they've started dismantling Social Security, they won't stop until it's gone.

pyewhakket.bsky.social•33 days ago

Trump and the heritage foundation are at step 1 of Hitlers rise to power. Create chaos, dismantle or disrupt democratic institutions and attacking other political parties.

Next up? Consolidate power, ignore the rule of law, targeted disasters and removal of protesters (ICE kidnappings).

naethros.bsky.social•33 days ago

What are you gonna do about it patty? Post about it again tomorrow?

tippi-k.bsky.social•33 days ago

Get your party in order! Censure Ds who voted to censure Al Green! Your silent little auction paddles were an impotent disgrace. Find your courage like Al Green, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and Bernie. What are you actually doing?? When is your rally??

keithbro.bsky.social•33 days ago

Make Musk pay into it if he's so worried about it.

robert-is-typing.bsky.social•33 days ago

I think it's time to raise the cap.

Trump's billionaire cabinet claims that "only a fraudster" complains about lost wages.

OK.

Let's raise the Social Security Tax Cap from $176,100 to $400,000 or $500,000 per year and see who complains.

Yes what are we going to do about it ?

bestillandknow.bsky.social•33 days ago

Jokes on them. There was some sort of error on my social security and now it looks like I'm actually going to get paid a LOT more every month when I retire than I was supposed to. I was going to go into the office to try to get it fixed since I can't get it on the phone, but the office closed!

flerkin206.bsky.social•33 days ago

Unfortunately, when they discover the error, and they will, you’ll have to return the overpayment plus interest and penalties, and go to prison for fraud for not using their (broken) online system, or going to the (closed) SS office and reporting it to the (fired) representative.

bestillandknow.bsky.social•33 days ago

Hence the reason I was going to go in....I won't be retiring for another 10 years so I have time to get to an office someday...

stevenactual.bsky.social•33 days ago

Gee. If only you knew a Senator, maybe you could do something about it. Nah. I’m sure a tweet is enough to fix it. Better take a rest, you’ve had a big day.

pisstified.bsky.social•33 days ago

What are you going to do about this travesty?

lizettedom.bsky.social•33 days ago

The public knows what is going on. Tells us why Democrats are not Ressisting hard and Ten democrats voted with the Republicans in the Spending Bill? People are on the streets protesting and we see you guys not ressisting inside Congress. Be the Resistance party not the Minority Party!

jameslost.bsky.social•33 days ago

Finally a elected official that shows up. You could show up at any federal agency office that is being gutted, there is an assortment, but you are just posting. https://bsky.app/profile/socialsecurityworks.org/post/3lkxwocclck26

How is your leader’s book tour going? Oh is he not up to facing the public yet? According to him, at least he wins senate seats. Coming from the minority leader.

Check this: "No one but fraudsters would complain about missing a Social Security check."
Setting the scene? Or just showing unfitness for the job?

Precisely. I tried years ago to bring attention to this directly to her. At this point it's failures to redress grievances. I literally have thousands of receipts. All jobs can be replaced.

Have they reopened the helplines yet? My husband waited too long on those last summer just to get started, but I don’t know how people can get through the process without them at all.

gravity-pike.bsky.social•33 days ago

Senator, you don't have to equivocate and give them the benefit of the doubt here. They're obviously acting in bad faith.

Just say that Trump is trying to kill Social Security. It's a simpler, stronger message, and it's true.

chriswilke.bsky.social•33 days ago

Does this law apply? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paperwork_Reduction_Act

nickforbrains.bsky.social•33 days ago

I don’t think that’s the policy. I think the policy is breaking it beyond repair.

beckylol.bsky.social•31 days ago

You and the rest if the Dems should be angrily screaming about this ⬇️ non stop every day!
