BREAKING: DOGE plots to cut Social Security phone support, according to leaked memo, despite the Trump admin repeatedly saying it doesn't plan change the program beyond addressing fraud and waste.

DOGE wrecking ball could threaten Social Security for seniors Nearly 90% of Americans older than 65 rely on Social Security.

The cuts underway at the agency could break critical parts of a system millions of vulnerable citizens rely on.

If you're a current or former Social Security employee and want to talk confidentially, you can reach out to Emily Peck on Signal at EmilyRPeck.71 or emily.peck@axios.com

And this is the type of stuff that should be posted on twitter , threads and all socials. The bigger the reach the bigger the impact

Yes a shutdown would have consequences.

And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.

They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.

Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

I'm Not Running in 2026, But I Am Getting to Work We all have work to do in delivering a better kind of politics for America.

I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race.

I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:

Team William Keating.

😂

It’s only a PR boost because gullible media showed up. Stop giving him the “air” time!! Seriously. Every little thing he does makes it to social media. It’s both exhausting and boring.

I don’t claim to know everything about HR but something seems just slightly off here…

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

😂 This is hilarious and OMG Kara’s face. 😂

Disagree! Best finale ever!

This is soooo wrong!

Oh jeez so I guess we’re gonna lose in ‘26 too.

Why is anyone still watching/filming him signing things with his Sharpie?! Can we move on to something a bit more interesting please 🥱

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Exclusive: Fired US government workers with top security clearances were not given exit briefings, sources say The lack of so-called "read outs" for workers with clearances dismissed by Musk's DOGE could raise security risks, experts say.

"None of the employees with security clearances for nuclear secrets were properly debriefed, the current DOE source said...

"Those employees could be targeted by foreign adversaries for nuclear espionage...

"They have lost their source of income..."

Sounds familiar in ‘25!

How ironic that Freedom is in the name.

Not more harmful to passengers but more harmful to shareholders. Noted.

Calling all former presidents, we need your help.

Love this!

@aoc.bsky.social Instead of just not standing and not clapping, boo him. Loudly.

Unpopular opinion. I cannot stand Moira Rose. And I’m on season 6.

I wish all former living Presidents would make a joint statement about how what happened in the Oval today is just completely unacceptable. #Ukraine

A disgraceful day.

Instead of being loud do the opposite. I’m not sure exactly what that means but draw attention by “lowering your voice”.

i'm stealing this from someone on twitter but the difference in body language here is due to the fact that both of these men are condemned to eternal damnation in the deepest circle of Hell but only Rubio realizes it

Do not let him make you feel ashamed of America. Be courageous. Use your voice. Do not stand down. A lot of people are going to need our help. Volunteer if you can. Or just be a good neighbor. But do not feel shame that is not yours to feel. 🇺🇸
