And when you get to Clinton - He reduced the federal workforce by over 300,000 positions using a process that was thoughtful, transparent, and unquestionably legal and Constitutional. Congress approved it in advance (as they should) with bipartisan majorities in both houses. This is history.

In a big win for millions of Americans, a federal court granted our request to block DOGE’s unlawful access to private data from the Social Security Administration.

Schumer cancels his book tour citing 'security concerns.' Yeah, right. His real concern was getting screamed at by Democrats in a dozen viral moments.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are executing a two-step strategy to make their billionaire cronies richer: Step One: Lie that Social Security is already broken. Step Two: Break it.

At 5 pm Fri, the Social Security Admin announced that it will withhold the entire Social Security benefits of overpaid seniors & people w/disabilities, even if not their fault—reversing a Biden-era reform that limited repayment to 10% of the monthly benefit. This will cause needless suffering.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: Trump is taking the Big Lie to Social Security. The point is and was to "fabricate this elaborate, grotesque lie about a cherished institution of American government to sow enough fear, doubt and uncertainty among enough people that Trump can get away with destroying it."

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Social Security Administration offices are being closed across the country, and we need to act now. Please call your congressional representative today - it only takes five minutes. The system will ask for your zip code and connect you directly. Let them know you support SSA!
