The Trump administration has announced a flurry of changes at the agency that oversees Social Security. Advocates warn these moves could lead to people having a harder time getting help with benefits.

I’m sure this is exactly the point. And it’s sickening this is our money that we’ve paid in our whole lives that these billionaires are stealing. It has to be stopped
They are now. 34,000
At sanders rally yesterday. 1000’s
At the other ones. Another today and I’m Glad others are
Holding town halls absent of their gop elected leaders.
One of the more controversial changes introduced at the SSA is the requirement for newly filing recipients to lick the boots of a life-size Donald Trump statue.
Grandma and grandpa and THEIR parents will need help to get things sorted out. “Things” that are put in place by Trump’s lackeys. You kids and grand kids better get your cars ready to drive them to the nearest office in whatever “nearby” state it’s in after making the appointment on line for them.
According to the rely solely on Social Security for retirement income. The estimated average retirement benefit for January 2025 was $1,976, according to the Social Security Administration website per Raw Story.
isn't that the idea to keep destroying and destroying and destroying it and then saying look it doesn't work let's privatize it this is Donald Trump's plan to ruin it he doesn't care
That’s the point.. but you piss off senior women who were born in 1950’s, protested Vietnam war; burned bras; fought for Roe v Wade; fought to get in boardrooms and leadership positions .. you are messing with the wrong b!tches!!
A swarm of angry
billionaire oligarchs
hive in our
White House,
upset with how mean
the USA has been
to them.
Have to rig things
so they get more money
and more
and more
and more
and more.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 https://youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4
I honestly don't know if the difficulty of getting help at Social Security could possibly be any harder... My wife and I just spent 3 weeks calling and couldn't get to anyone or having our call disconnected. They need a serious injection of modernization.
The idea of Donald Trump and Elon Musk is to cut social security benefits. A reminder that Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist. A liar and an imbecile.
Sabotaging the SSA, slowly but steadily, the 🤡 and his assistants are punishing the poor and impaired for legally requesting government funds. The Musk Regime hates handing out earned benefits. Oligarchs are greedy and don’t care about the needy.
The SSoffice in Grand Junction CO is slated to be closed in June. I called Jeff Hurd’s office (CO-03) and asked what are people going to do if they can’t access services online, phone or in-person. This affects medicare/ssdi/ss cards. I was told to fill out a form on his website to get help. Really?
Trump wants to shut it down. This is just the beginning. The oligarchs don't care if elderly and disabled people starve or lose their health insurance or their homes. Welcome back to the Dickens' England of workhouses.
But he said point blank on FOX that he wasn't going to touch social security, right??!! Dag nabbit, he lied to us, Jethro. Go figure. That's not the T we voted for. Buyers remorse doesn't help, Jethro
The only person not having any problems with access to grants and monies seems to be Musk. His continuous suckle at the government teat is the only thing keeping him afloat, while he and the Dogebags look for ways to make access for seniors and others more difficult or unavailable.
Make sure you check your elderly parents' bank accounts. Deposits from the US Treasury have dropped into accounts. Money that wasn't expected with no explanation why the money was deposited.
The felon is killing Social Security. This further demonstrates that he is THE enemy of the people. His class warfare against the masses is intent on subjugation & preservation of status. While our work is the foundation of their status, they get to decide what we need. This is the system they want.
The incessant claims that Americans "didn't really vote for this" are starting to sound like Germans after World War II who claimed that they "didn't really know what was going on in their country".
These people are cut from the same cloth as insurance executives. If it is harder to claim benefits & that reduces claim rates, net positive in thier mind.
The people who most need the security of knowing their funding is secure are the people that Trump/Musk are attacking. Medicare and social security cheques already being withheld. The inhumanity of this administration is appalling.
I'm 67 and married 45 years to my 72 year old hubby. Just remembered driving my grandparents around, when they couldn't get their driver's license anymore. We don't have anyone to drive us.😔 How sad.
They are gutting SS so they can kill it and privatize it so the oligarchy can benefit. Call your Congress people, protest and give them hell at town halls. It’s our money, not theirs!!!
They’ll cut off their own feet and feed it to themselves before they vote for a Democrat. But they’re not in a cult. The worst and most vile traitors that sold out the Constitution b/c brown and trans people scare them.
Can anyone tell me what part the AARP plays in all this? Aren't they supposed to be advocates for older citizens? They send me a magazines and news letters, so far nothing about anything that is going on here. I'm not sending them any more $$ if they don't start lobbying harder and speaking up.
It doesn’t matter how many times they’re reminded that Social Security is our money, that we already paid into it, Republicans and Rightwing media mouthpieces will continue their mythology of it being a “handout.”
And their imbecilic voters will still agree, even when they’re also getting robbed.
The way I understand it, all Federal Agencies/Entities are controlled by the Congress!
How can anyone make any changes or fire anyone without the express conscent of Congress?
All agencies/Commissions are subject Federal oversight!
"Retribution" in the white house is overwhelming our nation!
Be the most powerful person.
Be the wealthiest person.
Be praised, adored and hailed as a hero.
But most importantly: to never be told he was or is wrong, to never be called on a lie, to never have to apologize, and to 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴.
Just treat him as perfect.
Musk and Trump are out to destroy Social Security get a fucking clue – this has been the plan since Reaganism took hold in the early 1980s. It’s a Republican wet dream come true.
These are glorious times we're living in my fellow Americans.
Not every generation gets to overthrow tyranny and traitors.
We just happen to be the lucky ones. Call up the militias.
Revolution is the solution.

How else are we going to be able to cut taxes for billionaires even further?
curse fest. 🤷♀️
Step up to the plate, NPR.
This would all STOP if they objected. Treat them accordingly!
They appear to be the enemy.

Which is why MAGA feels he best represents them.
Why are you trying to pretend that this is anything other than a way to rob us & give our money to billionaires?

But the majority of the electorate decided that having a Woman of Color in the Oval Office was too high a price for that.
So, they voted for the cognitively impaired felon, or refused to vote.

He deserves nothing
But being a malignant narcissist has made him permanently like I described. He isn't capable of being any other way.
And when he doesn't get those needs met, he wants revenge. Luckily, he's a coward.
He has people act for him so he can blame them if it fails, so he can never be wrong.
