  1. @jacobin #SocialSecurity is an enormous pile of all of our savings that greedy sharks want to get ahold of & steal

  2. Today AP News reports 3.8% inflation surge.

    #SocialSecurity #COLA is based on CPI-W averages from July, August, and September — not the full year. Inflation after September doesn’t affect January benefits until the next cycle. Given current payout levels, even a 0.1% COLA difference changes annual Social Security spending by roughly $1.5 billion. Small percentages become very large federal budget numbers.

    Could the CPI-W be manipulated month-to-month to cause Jul-Sep to be lower?

  3. “Earlier this month, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) admitted as a “dirty little secret” that Trump accounts are really part of the Republican Party’s larger long-term plan to privatize Social Security.”

  4. "Ted Cruz just admitted out loud what Republicans have been whispering about Social Security for 50 years. At the Milken Institute’s billionaire-studded global conference in California this week, the Texas senator dropped what he himself called the “dirty little secret” of the GOP’s so-called Trump Accounts: they’re a Trojan horse for Social Security privatization."

  5. disabilitynewsservice.com/bade. "In their latest assault on #socialsecurity spending, the #Conservatives misleadingly claimed the #benefit cap allows some #households to claim 'unlimited benefits' if they include someone who receives certain #disability #benefits." I am absolutely sick & tired of hearing this absolute sh*t from Kemi #Badenoch, @ChrisMayLA6, @HarriettMB. She & her fellow #Tories can bash someone else for a change, & leave us #disabled people ALONE!

  6. Latina Caller’s Pain Is Real—But Trump’s Immigration Cruelty Solves Nothing

  7. Concerns about what the interim rule from #RFKJr could look like:

    A person with debilitating #ChronicPain, or a serious #AutoimmuneDisease, may appear “able-bodied” by the standards RFK Jr appears poised to implement—even as they face hurdles in qualifying for #SocialSecurity #disability due to not being considered #disabled “enough”.

  8. A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits.

  9. #ElonMusk Vies to Turn X Into Super App With #Banking Tool Near Launch

    More than 3 years after acquiring #Twitter , Elon #Musk says he's nearing his long-stated goal of turning it into an "everything app" with a new financial services tool that he pledged to launch for the public this month

    >as if I would ever let anything by #Musk anywhere near my financial resources. Especially since it’s believed his #DOGE group stole our #SocialSecurity info.

  10. @cdarwin Nah, this lie/scheme won’t work because #OKboomer #MAGAs have either died or are no longer working, and most young #MAGA #cult members in #TurningPointUSA can’t even *find* a job! 🤷🏻‍♂️
