We were promised Social Security would stay strong. Instead, offices close, lines grow, and people are left waiting. Demand Congress keep its word and fully fund SSA. We paid in — we expect it. #SocialSecurity #ProtectOurBenefits #SSA #RetirementSecurity @AARP @watchdognet

June is both #MensHealthMonth & #PTSDAwarenessMonth — spotlighting the urgent need for accessible care.

They'll call New York "The City That Never Sleeps" - because of all the overtime & side jobs they'll need to take if Congress cuts SNAP, Medicare, & TANF from the safety net.

Let's tell Congress to #HitTheSnoozeOnCuts!

No SNAP. No Medicaid. No TANF.
It’s like walking a tightrope without a safety net.

Millions of New Yorkers rely on these programs to help cover the rising costs of food, healthcare, & housing.

Tell Congress: #ProtectTheSafetyNet & #ProtectOurBenefits!

Did you know nearly half of New Yorkers (almost 4 million people) rely on Medicaid? Most are children, older adults, & people w/ disabilities.

Social Security isn't going broke—it was designed to be insulated from politics. Don't fall for fear tactics. Learn the facts from economists like @keds_economist.

The GOP is openly attacking Social Security — money we earned. This isn’t reform. It’s theft from working Americans. We need to stand up for what’s ours.

#SocialSecurityMatters #ProtectOurBenefits #HandsOffSocialSecurity #VotersForAccountability #Elections2024

This isn’t reform—it’s exclusion. Targeting vulnerable communities under the guise of efficiency is not only heartless, it’s unconstitutional. We need a system that protects, not punishes.

#NoDOGE

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

The Musk/Trump admin is handing Social Security’s computer system over to DOGE, an untested, unstable system. Millions could miss checks or get the wrong amount. This is reckless and cruel. We must stop this disaster before it starts!

#StopTheChaos #ProtectOurBenefits

Calling Social Security “supplemental” is billionaire-speak for “we don’t need it, so you shouldn’t either.” For millions, it’s not extra—it’s survival. Hands off what we earned.

Rep. Stefanik, your constituents are worried about losing their lifeline benefits: Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and more. What's your plan to protect these essential safety nets? We need reassurance, not silence. #ProtectOurBenefits #RepresentationMatters

Millions at Risk! 🚨 A leaked Trump Admin memo reveals plans that could delay Social Security payments, cut services, and make it harder for retirees & disabled Americans to access their benefits. You paid in—now they want to make you fight to get it! #SocialSecurity #ProtectOurBenefits

68 million Americans rely on Social Security. But did you know SSA has the lowest staffing levels in 50 years? The people behind the checks aren’t just bureaucrats—they’re Americans working nonstop to make sure you get what you’re owed. 💙

🚨MEGA ALERT🚨 We warned you! GOP to extend Trump tax cuts for rich corps by cutting SS & Medicare. Ridiculous! #ProtectOurBenefits

Social Security is a lifeline, not a liability. It's funded by our taxes, not debt, and provides crucial support for millions, including those with disabilities. Don't let those in power dismantle this vital safety net. #SocialSecurity #ProtectOurBenefits #DisabilityRights

Congress shouldn’t be a vault robber. Social Security & Medicare aren’t handouts—they’re earned benefits. Cutting them isn’t fiscal responsibility; it’s theft from workers & retirees. #ProtectOurBenefits #HandsOffOurRetirement
