Trump reduced Social Security staffing to a 60 year low. Now, over a dozen field offices are closed to the public.

It’s like an old car clanking down the highway as it leaks oil and gasoline.

Every day, it is getting harder for Americans to access their hard earned benefits.

Jimmy Kimmel was great last night. Strong, true, humble, inspiring. Even said as Americans we are united by many things including our belief in Social Security — long may it pay!

Join us tomorrow in Virginia! Let’s continue fighting to protect Social Security:

How DOGE’s grand plan to remake Social Security is backfiring The agency is abandoning an initiative aimed at preventing fraud, the latest example of a failed effort by Elon Musk’s disruptive cost-cutting team.

The most damaging 90 days in Social Security’s history. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are spreading big lies about Social Security.

It's not a Ponzi scheme, no matter what they say.

We need to protect this agency and this program from all of their attempts to destroy it.l

We’re taking the fight directly to Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

Thank you to the hundreds who came out to our town hall in New York last night—we are fighting like hell to protect Social Security in America.

Today, I am holding in my heart and my prayers those who lost their lives 30 years ago in Oklahoma City.

We must never forget their memories.

Thank you, Oklahoma!

Great to be with Oklahoma residents to talk about the future of Social Security in America and what we can do to stop Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

Setting the Record Straight on Social Security | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities Social Security’s payment accuracy rate is very high — well over 99 percent — and it has many safeguards against improper payments, including rigorous protocols to stop paying benefits to people who h...

No — there are not millions of dead people still receiving Social Security. Not 150 year old dead people. Not 30 year old dead people. There are multiple automated alerts from states and medicare whenever a person in pay status dies. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

How Unauthorized Immigrants Help Finance Social Security Benefits Undocumented workers often pay taxes that help fund programs like Social Security — even if they can’t collect from them in the future.

No — so called illegal immigrants DO NOT receive Social Security benefits; that is prohibited by law. But they do contribute $25 billion a year for the rest of us. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/13/b...

DOGE is disrupting Social Security DOGE's targeting of Social Security has already created challenges for one of the most important government departments.

🧵 FACT CHECKING ELON MUSK:

No — Social Security is not overrun with fraud. In fact, every Inspector General for 30 years has found fraud amounts to far less than even 1% of total benefits. www.brookings.edu/articles/dog...

Social Security classifies thousands of immigrants as dead, as part of Trump crackdown The tactic is aimed at putting pressure on undocumented immigrants to leave the country.

If without due process, Trump and Musk can unlawfully “disappear” or “digitally murder”anyone who legally entered our country, then they can do it to anyone already legally here. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump’s Social Security Promise Under Strain as DOGE Cuts Take Toll President Trump promised not to touch Social Security, but as Elon Musk’s team trims staff and plans cuts to phone services, the system is groaning under the pressure.

Elon Musk and Donald are wrecking Social Security as we know it.

We must fight back.

This cannot be allowed to continue. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u...

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are breaking Social Security "so then after wrecking it, they can rob it."

The people are standing up and fighting back.

Great to be with Councilman Izzy Patoka at today's “Hands Off Social Security Rally” in Woodlawn.

Why DOGE is struggling to find fraud in Social Security Claims of massive fraud by Elon Musk and President Trump are at odds with reams of audits and reports on the agency’s spending.

And this is why the Musk/Trump eliminated the Inspector General and Office before they start their lies about dead people and immigrants defrauding Social Security. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Long waits, waves of calls, web crashes: Social Security is breaking down A flood of cuts led by Elon Musk has sent the agency into chaos as a new commissioner prepares to take charge.

The Musk/Trump co-presidency has taken 90% of the actions necessary to drive Social Security into a total system collapse. Their nominee must have approved all of it, or he wouldn’t be going for confirmation. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

EXCLUSIVE: Secret policy shift could overwhelm Social Security offices with millions of people On Wednesday, the Social Security Administration (SSA) enacted a new policy that could impose massive demands on the agency's overburdened network of field offices, according to an internal SSA messag...

Social Security Workers Say It Is Being Endangered by DOGE Current and former employees, both Republican and Democratic, are raising alarms about the damage cost-cutting efforts could do to the agency’s ability to serve the public.

Social Security being dismantled “by a drunk with a wrecking ball” — great reporting by NY Times. People need to rise up. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/b...

Social Security, facing pressure from DOGE, weighs big cuts to phone service Agency considers ending phone program that helps with claims processing and is used by millions of elderly and disabled Americans.

By the end of 2024 we had driven the speed to answer the Social Security 1-800# down from a 42.5 minute national average to 12.4 minute average. Now the Trump/Musk co-presidency wants to eliminate phone service for customers. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

‘A disruptive effect’: How slashing staff at the Social Security Administration is sparking fears the system could collapse | CNN Politics Millions of Americans could soon feel the impact of the deep staffing cuts being planned at the Social Security Administration, which is undergoing a massive reorganization that the acting commissione...

This CNN piece today is really good clear succinct. In plain language with examples of impacts. Musk and his DOGE team at Social Security are driving the agency to total system collapse. www.cnn.com/2025/03/08/p...

Across Social Security right now: in addition to mass firings, elimination of Oversight Division, they are wasting taxpayer dollars by actually paying retirement eligible people FOR A WHOLE YEAR to leave now. Giving others cash incentives to leave now. Destroying Social Security so they can rob it.

Tuesday night, Donald Trump stood before the nation and, with the full backing of billionaires like Elon Musk, laid the groundwork for the biggest heist in American history—the rapid, systematic destruction of Social Security, disguised as “reform.”

This is why Musk/Trump are moving so fast to destroy Social Security’s ability to serve customers and answer the phone. Best piece I’ve seen newrepublic.com/maz/article/...

This is exactly why we need a new sense of urgency at the DNC right now.
