Social security is a lifeline for seniors, disabled people, and millions of other Americans. Inability to access these services isn’t just annoying, it can be life-threatening.

And just what ARE you doing and do you PLAN to do to stop them? That’s what we all would like to know.

It’s not “breaking down” it’s being purposefully broken. There’s a huge difference!

I have ssdi as a 9/11 volunteer. My main source of income. If DJT takes my benefits away.
This proves to me that DJT is a candidate for the 25th amend, article 4.
Also, still waiting for VCF for mental health.

The MAGA and ApartheidNazi heads are playing ideological games even in total ignorance of the functions of Social Security

lallberry.bsky.social•28 days ago

You voted YES on EIGHT of his nominees! EIGHT!! That’s not fighting. That’s kissing the ring. We are so screwed with reps like you and Schumer. FRIGGIN’ DO SOMETHING!!!!

madcolorist.bsky.social•28 days ago

Call it what it is "sabotage"

suefromstpaul.bsky.social•28 days ago

This is a travesty

noneisthenumber.bsky.social•28 days ago

It's not really a lifeline, as that suggests someone else is providing the help. Social security is a pension plan we and our employers paid into. They're stealing our pensions just as if they stole it out of our flaming bank accounts.

ljguerrero.bsky.social•27 days ago

They want it to crash so they can say it doesn’t work. This way they can privatize it and rob us. Do something. Do something.

marcusrebmann.bsky.social•28 days ago

Just keep voting for his appointments, surely that's what everyone that says "do something, literally anything " wants.

kittycatsrule.bsky.social•28 days ago

Nice try at diverting from the fact that you supported most of these idiots who are hellbent on compromising America's national security. Time to step down. Americans deserve people to fight for them, not against them. When Americans die due to natsec issues, their blood will be on your hands.

cvilletownie.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yes. Please make this a priority.

chipaustin1.bsky.social•28 days ago

So what are you doing about it?

quitxquitfb.bsky.social•27 days ago

Campaigning of course!

jonaius.bsky.social•28 days ago

And yet you still voted for Trump’s Navy Secretary pick. How disappointing.

Senator Kaine the time for telling US what needs to be done is long past..the time for DOING what needs to be done is upon us..You and the rest of the elected house and senate have the power to stop this usurper we are dependent on you!!!

quitxquitfb.bsky.social•27 days ago

Nope. Democrats have lost all power to Republicans. They lost everything. That's why we need new leaders and a new type of Democrat party. Instead they're just going about business as usually under Schumer who is a disgrace.

holdmymargarita.bsky.social•27 days ago

Absolutely 💯 the old ways do not work ..we don't have the time..this it..we're not getting another chance..we have to work with what we have..now is the time for the old guard to accept our thanks and push the young fighters to the front

am-mccarthy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Why would Tim complain about this administration and then help them with their nominees?
Bewildering

While using children to do immigrant work the bigots have become accustomed to at their gated communities

We can fix social security with a WEALTH TAX on billionaires but Democrats don have any guts (or spines).

bbardot.bsky.social•27 days ago

I totally agree with Sen Kaine.. I'm recently retired and trying to apply for not only social security but Medicare as well and all the red tape(and trying to reach someone at Social Security is nuts!! I'm currently waiting for a callback because it said 120 min wait)

perri4health.bsky.social•27 days ago

I know for a fact that @kaine.senate.gov is working very hard to protect what is ours.

Hey staffers, maybe you should also be focusing on the impeachable conduct of the entire inner circle on that Signal chat yesterday. Any regular person would have been arrested by now.

blue-toe.bsky.social•27 days ago

Fixing this s/b on SOMEBODY 'S to-do (now!) list.
Thinking about the consequences of this, and 100's of other "efficiency" efforts, for 5 seconds makes my blood boil and my❤️break.Senatpr, thanks (sincerely)for posting, but I respectfully and desperately ask, what can be done NOW, by whom?

grammajof2.bsky.social•28 days ago

I feel so badly about those poor workers at Social Security who are getting railed at from both sides. I’ve always been treated so well even under the weight of the volume of work they had to do.

olyssessgrant.bsky.social•28 days ago

And yet you keep voting for Trump appointees like this is a normal administration. F*** you, dude. Never voting for you again - you've been incredibly disappointing.

solidaritywarriors.bsky.social•28 days ago

On April 5th, we're uniting to say Hands Off our Medicaid, Social Security, public education, immigrants, reproductive rights, and our democracy!

Glad I’m Canadian because disability benefits are the only thing buying my groceries while I study computer science at uni.

rushgirl3.bsky.social•28 days ago

Why aren't Dems on the Capitol steps every day holding pressers telling people what Duh Fuhrer, the world's richest Nazi and the GOP are doing & more important, what you're planning to do to repair the damage?

And @schumer.senate.gov has to step down from leadership, like today.

jimmeisnerjr.bsky.social•28 days ago

They are. You just haven’t seen them.

rocketmansparty.bsky.social•26 days ago

gleness522.bsky.social•28 days ago

All by design. And what the hell are you doing about it? Voting with MAGpublicans and weak ass posts on social media isn’t the fire that we need. Your office needs to be one that is primaried when you come up for election. You are too weak.
