To be fair, Donald Trump doesn’t really seem to care much about most things any more. Other than grievances and cheating at golf, of course.
This is all Elon Musk trying to fill the black hole of greed and resentment in himself.
And what are you DOING about it, Senator?
And just out of curiosity, I'm wondering what you think about the message of your colleagues continuing to fucking vote YES on trump nominees? Do they not understand this looks like complicity with trump? How HARD is it to god damn vote NO?
Karoline Leavitt recently said, "Any American receiving Social Security benefits will continue to receive them." That means that the GOP hopes to privatize Social Security for future generations, so that private insurers will be able to milk future retirees for fun and profit.
Look, the privatization of SS is a SCAM. Let me see, turn over an extremely well run, low overhead program to, let me guess, a Trump acolyte...and what happens to the $3T dollars this government owes our SS Trust fund? This could be used as a perfect opportunity to default on that debt. Just Sayin.
Senator,I am a Social Security recipient. It’s unfathomable to me to feel the people in this government are determined to destroy Social Security a program that has helped millions of people for almost a century .Please,people in this country feel helpless. This tyranny must be end
What specifically, are you doing to stop this nightmare? I see senators pointing out all the horrors being inflicted on us constantly, but precious few suggestions, action plans, or next steps to keep us safe from these monsters.
I worked for Social Security for 6 months. I never met a more ethical group of human beings in my life than the social security employees. They were amazing.
Please stop playing into the Republicans hands. Don’t believe them. They lie to breathe. Don’t vote for any nominee whether it’s a cabinet post or dog catcher. Stand up.
Elon Musk can't find fraud waste and abuse because he isn't qualified to see any of the things he & his convicted 34-count felon, convicted sexual abuser, documented pathological liar & lifelong racist claims, are pretext to destroy the American Democratic Republic. No fraud arrests, no waste?
The FRAUD is DOGE, the WASTE is the continuous HOT AIR spewing lies, and the ABUSE is what the American people are experiencing because of the unjustified cuts being made to agency after agency.
They are breaking – to-privatize the entire freaking government. But government is not a private for-profit business. And citizens are not just consumers.
The system is in need of an upgrade but if I read correctly, that request was denied by Congress. Strange that only when DOGE and Elon get involved in it does the system break??
It's simple: government-run functions aim to serve the American people. Privatized functionsaim to serve their shareholders... NOT the American people.
Republicans have wanted to privatize Social Security for decades. W Bush started to talk about privatization and he got booed out of attempting it. Social security is a sacred trust between the government and the people. We put money in all our working lives and we expect to receive our SS back
I hope there is a class action lawsuit by all American to sue Elon Musk for tampering with our earned benefits. This is the reason why people should boycott Telsa and Twitter (X) and attack Elon back. The next Democratic President should also cancel all contracts with Elon Musk
Trump’s nominee for SSA Commish is a vulture capitalist. His friends are already working with “DOGE” planning how to break it enough that they can convince Americans it needs to be privatized.
The amount of actual fraudulent payments is minuscule. NO other retirement plan has such low fraud.
Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.
Also, just today in WaPo: many, many warnings from former and current SSA officials.

Privatization prevents funding SS long term, if wise politicians vote to lift the social security taxable wage income limit like Bernie Sanders wants to do.
Example:
Right now someone who makes 175,000 yearly pays the same society security tax as someone who makes 17,500,000.

It's been their long-term goal.
They are playing with people's lives!

Where are the DNC commercials?
Is anyone in charge? Is there a plan? Bullet points? A napkin with an idea?
Incredible.
