This CNN piece today is really good clear succinct. In plain language with examples of impacts. Musk and his DOGE team at Social Security are driving the agency to total system collapse. https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/08/politics/social-security-administration-staff-cuts/index.html

That's what they've said they've wanted for years and years, constantly threatening to take down Social Security over and over.
There may in fact be no fixing the system - ever, once they start digging around in it.
What you can do:
You better start HOUNDING your Representatives & Senators loudly. Organize & participate in public protests.
Remedy: Reduce workforce.
Congratulations you stupid motherfuckers.
I didn’t vote for any of this.
That’s fucking insane.
What if 80% of all HHS employees leave on Monday??
We would be thrown into total chaos as if we’re already not there..
Either way you sure have made a damn mess here.
Reaction is the point.
He wants martial law.
And what I need can't be done online or via the automated phone system.
If someone broke into your home and was stealing 300K, what would YOU do?
Democrats should be out messaging on this TODAY.
But do check out Sen. Murphy’s floor speech about the Trump/Musk corruption in the last 6 weeks.

Most of us pay social security tax on every penny we ever earn, but not the top %.
If we eliminate this cap and cap benefits paid out, that will save social security.
When I begin to collect in 2-3 years (if it still exists), Social Security will be nothing like it was for the past 90 years.

Maybe a SS collapse would wake them the hell up.
