Retirees and disabled people are facing chronic website outages and other access problems as they attempt to log in to their online Social Security accounts, even as they are being directed to do more of their business with the agency online.

I love how the Post blithely reports on these disasters as though it were not one of trump’s enablers!! FU @washingtonpost.com you helped create this disaster.
It's purposeful. They are creating dysfunction as a prelude to privatization and cutting/eliminating benefits. I don't even need to attempt to read your article that I'd have to pay for.
Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country, they're right in your backyard, running multi-billion dollar corporations, and holding office.
Your oppression is their profession
A pile of junior devs that have no idea what they are doing are firing everyone and promising to rewrite everything. These people evened removed from office and jailed until they turn over every copy of data they have stolen.
This is all completely intentional and is the beginning of the end of Social Security. They are destroying it from the inside and will soon be destroying it from the outside - they want to stop taxing social security benefits and that is a significant source of revenue to fund social security.
The problems come as the Trump administration’s cost-cutting team, led by Elon Musk, has imposed a downsizing that’s led to 7,000 job cuts and is preparing to push out thousands more employees at an agency that serves 73 million Americans.
Good lord WaPo, please stop parroting DOGE’s framing - it is not a “cost-cutting” team, but rather a “government-gutting” team. They are only cutting costs in the same way I would be losing weight if I cut off my leg! Their aim is to ruin government. Don’t help them sell their messaging!
Too bad there wasn't a national newspaper warning the public before the election about the effects of the stated evil this gang of thugs planned to do.
And people called me a liar on here when I talked about this very issue. This is Republicans attempt to destroy Social Security. And it will be successful because no one stands against them.
That is largely true. But, till then, we can push them hard to do just that. They are already running with their tails between their legs. Even their own supporters are turning on them.
