Trump has floated the idea of replacing Social Security with an Australian-style system of private accounts, with no guaranteed benefit amount. Huh?

Sen. Welch & Rep. Amo's #SocialSecurity Survivor Benefits Equity Act would increase the death benefit to account for inflation, providing relief to families facing financial and emotional burdens following the death of a loved one. We endorse this legislation. welch.senate.gov/welch-amo-le...

...And people wonder why #SocialSecurity has financial challenges. These guys finish paying into the program in early January --- while the rest of us contribute all year long. We need to adjust the payroll wage cap and subject some of the wealthy's non-wage income to Social Security taxes.

Trump & Commissioner Bisignano want older people to go online to access their Social Security benefits, but many seniors need in-person help. Trump's new policy is... good luck with that! We're against shrinking Social Security field offices.

Trump & DOGE shrank the #SocialSecurity Administration in a phony hunt for "fraud." Now the people who rely on Social Security will pay the price when they need anything from Social Security & have to talk to a bot or wait in a long line at a field office. Thanks, #Trump & #DOGE!

Guess what? The Trump administration is now CUTTING SERVICES at Social Security field offices. This is on top of SEVERE CUTS to customer service under Trump, causing frustration for folks simply trying to access their earned benefits. WATCH HERE:::

"Lack of #healthcare kills people," @wassermanschultz.house.gov tells us on this weeks' podcast. Hospitals are closing in RED STATES in anticipation of Trump's #Medicaid cuts. Health care premiums will rise because of Republicans' refusal to extend subsidies. LISTEN:

Trump and Musk slashed customer service at the Social Security administration in the name of rooting out "fraud." Turns out the fraud was DOGE itself.

Medicare announces price cuts for 15 prescription drugs, including Ozempic The lower prices stem from the Medicare negotiation program created underΒ the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act.

The price of #Ozempic, Wegovy, and other medications will be coming DOWN thanks to Medicare negotiations with Big Pharma --- made possible by President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act! READ MORE HERE: www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... @berkeleyjr.bsky.social @nbcnews.com #medicare #bigpharma #IRA

"This is gonna hurt!" our CEO, Max Richtman, tells Chicagoans at a town hall with Rep. Robin Kelly. He was talking about the meager #SocialSecurity #COLA being offset by the rise in #Medicare premiums, leaving seniors with less cash to keep up with inflation. @robinkelly.house.gov

Conservatives have been trying to divide the generations over the issue of Social Security for decades. Guess who benefits if the program is cut or privatized?

RIP DOGE! But even though DOGE has apparently been disbanded --- it will take years to undo the damage to the Social Security Administration and other key federal agencies that serve the public. Thanks, Trump & Musk!

Trump wants to send out big checks with his name on it as a pathetic substitute for a real health care policy. Bernie has his number.

Let's not forget that DOGE got a hold of everyone's personal Social Security data & uploaded it to an unsecured cloud server --- so we STILL don't know how it's being used or abused. WATCH HERE:::

Everything from coffee to car repairs costs significantly more than when Trump took office. And yet, the president and his party seem to care more about doing more for billionaires than the rest of us.
