The Social Security website is crashing multiple times a week. Elon Musk's henchmen think it's a perfect time to fire half the IT team.

Social Security lost 7,000 employees over the last two months under Trump and Musk. They are planning to fire thousands more and shut down offices across the country. Our elders and people living with disabilities deserve dignity and respect. Not this. We must keep fighting to stop these cuts!

What is Trump doing now that he has sabotaged the US economy with massive tariffs? He's at his golf club in Florida, where the Saudis are paying him to host a professional golf tournament.

Trump and Musk LIE about Social Security as a part of their plans to steal our earned benefits. But we know the truth. For nearly 90 YEARS Social Security has delivered timely benefits because of OUR contributions.

Almost half of the country’s health insurance now rests in the hands of a man who once sold miracle pills — with zero proof they worked — on daytime TV.

SCOOP — FEMA has named Geoff Harbaugh, a producer at Newsmax, as Associate Administrator for External Affairs (an extremely senior role). He’s also produced Seb Gorka’s America First podcast since 2018 and worked for Laura Ingraham. Text of email sent to all staff this morning shared with me:

There is absolutely NO situation in which Donald Trump will serve a third term as President of these United States, full stop. Don’t get distracted. This Administration and the GOP are undermining the Constitution and Rule of Law. We must continue to raise our voices!

Trump will let people freeze so the ultra-wealthy get more tax breaks. His cruelty knows no bounds. I’ll fight back with every tool I have. As a working-class kid, I know how vital LIHEAP—energy aid that helps low-income families heat their homes—is to millions. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/c...

Equity is not a marxist term. Equity is required and should be demanded. We should stop trying to roll back American history and recognize the harms caused to many and the inequities many still deal with to this day.

Musk's DOGE lapdogs are threatening the foundations of Social Security. A system that generations of Americans have built to preserve our ability to retire with dignity– all to give billionaires a bigger tax cut. CONGRESS MUST ACT!

It's so disheartening to have to choose b/w taking a lesser reassignment or being RIF'd when I worked so hard to climb the ladder and I do my job from my heart. No shade to those with family in gov't but I am a first generation Federal employee. In some agengies it's a big deal to do it without help

SCOOP— Social Security Administration (SSA) will be slashing more jobs at direction of the WH/OPM/OMB, multiple agency sources confirmed to me. This is despite Acting Commissioner Dudek’s assurances two weeks ago that no more RIFs would be necessary this fiscal year after hitting downsizing targets.

Soooooooo, we're not going to talk about have the mandatory 5-point emails bounced back today because the mailbox is full? This 2025 efficiency is different 🙄 Can we have 5-bullet points on what they've been doing? Mkay, carry-on! Efficiency is as efficiency does 👀

Can we talk about fire and safety hazards because RTO was not properly planned? I pray there is no need to evacuate immediately. RTO was not an issue, we were in the office a few days a week anyway. The lackluster prep with 1 day notice is the issue I have.

D.E.I.A. has become a slur and because people who call the shots don't care enough to know more, they are putting so mant at risk.A coworker shared how intervention from the DEIA staff helped create a safe environment after cough induced asthma when a construction crew did not properly prep or clean

Some of the most dedicated and efficient employees I've trained and worked with were differently able. Accommodations consist of anything from approving and delivering assistive visual tech equipment for blind and low vision employees to ensuring proper cleaning after in-office construction.

One thing I don't see people speaking about is the firing of the Office of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity staffs. Those staffs oversaw reasonable accommodations for the working disabled in the agencies.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social I am circling back to say "Thank you." Although we did not get the desired outcome you stood with the people. I tagged you and made a request publicly. It is only right that I thank you publicly also.

Social Security has a billionaire problem. We can fix that problem by making them contribute to the program on all of their income all year-long–Just like the rest of us!

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Good day, @captmarkkelly.bsky.socialI respect you and am grateful for your service. I know that you are on the fence about how you will vote. As a Federal employee, I implore you to shut it down if it means no blank check for DoGE. Please vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

As someone who overcame narcisstic abuse, ironically enough it was during the last time this dude was in office, I have found myself reliving that trauma. Every single day we show up to serve the American public not knowing which component will be the pick of the day to lose their jobs.

I can't stand narcissists nor bullies. Took me a while to bounce back from the last time I had to with either. I refuse to lose my peace and I refuse to keep letting things happen to me. Y'all in this fight, or naw? Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 or download the 5 Calls App.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

The folks who want to vote yes on the bill in the senate have this idea that Elon/Trump WANT a shutdown and it just makes it easier to do cuts. It’s like being in Dachau and saying, but if we try to escape they’ll kill us all. Meanwhile, www.govexec.com/workforce/20...
