Log in to your online Social Security account (or make one, if you haven't yet). Go to your earnings record. AT the bottom you'll see how much you (and employers) have paid in so far. It's your money. Elon is trying to steal from YOU.

If @RepTimBurchett wasn’t pretending to almost be a holdout on all these bills he would never be on tv. Get it? He doesn’t care about the debt. He votes for trillions in tax cuts for the rich. He cares about attention.

If Musk and his Technoboyz can't stop a cyber attack at X, maybe they shouldn't have access to our Social Security? Just brainstorming.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey. Defiantly, ME

Stop listening to dinosaurs. Stop paying the consultants that got us here. Stop asking for money instead of telling us what you’re going to do to fight back. The DC bubble has never been more glaring to me than ever. People out here are absolutely pissed and scared. Figure that out fast!

The new Big Lie about Social Security. There isn't massive fraud. 150 year olds don't get benefits. Undocumented workers can't get benefits (although they often pay in to the program). I repeat: the new Big Lie is about Social Security. Will magas fall for it when their checks stop?

Wake up, America. Wake up, maga. You cushy enough to support your elderly parents when their SS checks stop coming? Then when YOU retire, you won't get back the money you've been paying in with every job since you were a teenager? You cool with that?

Update—Democrats: Forget the signs. Call out the truth. Get loud. Take a stand. They kicked your colleague Rep. Al Green out for making his voice heard. Meet the moment. They would & have done this to you. Why are you rolling over & playing dead?

Been paying into Social Security since I was 14 fucking years old. After the 2008 collapse and dementia destroyed all my mom's savings, she lived on Social Security with help from Bank of Randi. And that was OK. But now Trump is telling lies about SS so Elon can take mine? No words for angry I am.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Appreciate those like Frost who disrupted tonight’s speech, and the Slotkin rebuttal was very strong. My worry is none of those standouts will counteract the acquiescence of Dem leadership, which conveys a lack of urgency, which in turn discourages public concern.

Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120. Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars. Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families. Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

White men are completely checked out. Gaming, gambling,laziness, sports and misinformation have removed any humanity, empathy or ability to think critically. I pray for a world run by Black Women. I also pray for the day when white men have to struggle to be heard or noticed.

If you see everything that Musk and Trump are doing through the lens of them acting on behalf of Putin to exact his revenge on the US by humiliating us and breaking apart our civil society so that we suffer, just like Russians after the fall of the Soviet Union, everything makes sense.
