New reporting confirms it: The Trump administration is deliberately sabotaging Social Security customer service. Longer wait times. Fewer staff. Closed offices. All to frustrate Americans into accepting privatization. That’s not “draining the swamp.” That’s gutting your retirement.

Social Security is telling its staff that customer service is about to get a lot worse

Some beneficiaries will now have to confirm their identities in-person to claim Social Security. SSA staff say it's bad news for low-income Americans.

Opinion | If Pete Hegseth Had Any Honor, He Would Resign

A defense secretary intentionally using a civilian app to share sensitive war plans without noticing a journalist was in the chat would be egregious.

Maybe Trump now knows he should have appointed people smarter than him. Not a very high threshold yet….

In a shocking oversight, top U.S. officials mistakenly texted war plans to one of Trump’s most-hated journalists, The Atlantic revealed today. The bombshell report showed a lengthy thread on the messaging app Signal about the logistics of a military strike on Houthi targets in Yemen on March 14.

Republicans are trying to destroy Social Security. Shrink the staff, shrink the services, overwhelm the offices, drive it into the ground—then privatize it. That's the plan. Even GOP voters at my Town Hall meeting were saying this isn't what they voted for... but it is. ⬇️

He wants to take all of Europe that was within the Soviet Union. He may not take east Germany, but Poland, the Baltics, Moldovia, Georgia for sure.

Well, he is an expert. Sure, he has no diplomatic experience, knows nothing of the history of the region and has never dealt with a professional operative like Putin but he has done quite a few real estate deals over the years.

Seems a good guy gone awol. Loyalty to billionaire sociopath rather than a conscience and values. He will regret what he has done but it will be too late and his “God” won’t give a hoot.

Social security is being undermined with personnel cuts, office closures, and the elimination of phone service which will impede seniors and people with disabilities. They want to privitize it for Wall Street’s benefit. This is the criminal immoral conduct of Trump Musk and obeisance of Republicans

Impressive turnout in Memphis tonight for @repcohen.bsky.social town hall. Too bad @marshablackburn.bsky.social and @billhagerty.bsky.social don’t care about their constituents on this side of the state (or at all) enough to do the same!
