How DOGEโ€™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 Muskโ€™s disruptive cost-cutting team.

DOGE Put Critical Social Security Data at Risk, Whistle-Blower Says

"DOGE team members uploaded a database with the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans to a vulnerable cloud server.

It includes individualsโ€™ full names, addresses and birth dates, among other details that could be used to steal their identities."

Billionaires like Elon Musk and Donald Trump donโ€™t respect workers or their voices in the workplace. They are dead wrong and their union-busting needs to stop. Iโ€™m proud to stand with these workers and support their right to organize.

Former SSA Commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social: DOGE is taking money from beneficiaries, slowing down customer service, and laying off essential employees.

Under Fire From Trump Administration, CFPB Drops Its Lawsuit Against Zelle The agency had dismissed the case 'with prejudice,' which means victims of fraud won't be able to claim relief. It comes as Trump and DOGE move to dismantle the CFPB.

If you use Zelle, it looks like the Trump administration doesnโ€™t want you to be protected from fraud. www.yahoo.com/tech/under-f...

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security.

What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it โ€” firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices.

Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

DOGE is driving Social Security cuts and will make mistakes, acting head says privately The Social Security Administrationโ€™s acting commissioner said members of Elon Muskโ€™s cost-cutting team are outsiders who are unfamiliar with the nuances of the agencyโ€™s programs.

SSA is in complete chaos. Buried in this article is a service worker noting that "the phone never stops ringing" and **retirement claims aren't being processed**. Hard to overstate the significance of that. End goal is to privatize the agency. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos shouldnโ€™t pay a lower tax rate than a Boston public school teacher.

The wealthiest and most powerful people in this country should be paying their fair share โ€” not getting tax breaks from Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress.

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!

Federal workers are the people doing the hard work to process veteransโ€™ benefits, make sure our airplanes can fly safely, and protect families from the bird flu.

To all of our federal workers: I see you and Iโ€™m fighting for you.

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

Great News For Us, Bad News For Trump Onward.

Iโ€™ve got a lot of great news for you today. I hope it gives you some relief from the Trump and Musk garbageโ€”and shows some examples of how folks are fighting this tyranny.

URGENT: Call your Members of Congress at 202-224-3121.

Tell them NO CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY - and that includes keeping your local field office open and fully staffed.

The Social Security Administration is already chronically understaffed. Now, the Trump Administration wants to demolish it.

Contrary to what Elon Musk and his acolytes may believe, AI chatbots are no substitute for in-person service from a human being.

We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway?

$10M a year? No.
$100M a year? No.
$500M a year? No.
$1 BILLION a year? No.

With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

In the Senate, I proposed blocking tax breaks for people who make over $10 million a year.

Every Republican voted no.

Republicans then refused to rule out tax breaks for people who make over $100 million. And $500 million.

Is ANYONE too rich to get a giveaway from the GOP?
