AOC said it best: kids get Social Security because they’ve lost everything. That’s not fraud—it’s compassion. Jeanine Pirro’s outrage isn’t about waste, it’s about cruelty. We fight for a country that takes care of its own.

🚨 Trump is quietly gutting Social Security — from staff cuts to killing paper checks. Don’t let the chaos distract you! Learn how it’s happening now and contact your Representative. Tell them "HANDS OFF MY SOCIAL SECURITY!"

Trump Damaging Social Security in Known and Unknown Ways - Horry County Democratic Party

It’s difficult to assess the full impact of Trump’s policies on Social Security. The administration appears to be following advisor Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone” strategy—releasing a barrage…

I get $1700 a month on Social Security. I am a Veteran, and I worked all of my life. I am now crippled from Arthritis. I depend on my Social Security. I can't afford to miss a check. This Administration needs to leave my SSI alone.

Rep. Stansbury was refused entry into her local Social Security regional Office.
She had an appointment.
Trump & Musk are scared of us.

They're about to fire 7000 more Social Security employees.

Today, I went to our Social Security Office to conduct Oversight and was denied access to meet with officials. Instead, we were given a generic phone number in another state and denied entry past the...

Representative Greg Casar:

"How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million

How much a Senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?"

A screenshot of an Instagram Story with an an IG post by Congressman Greg Casar. The post is a circle photo of Representative Cesar besides white text in a navy blue square against a dark blue background. Below the text is a video of Cesar speaking at a congressional hearing.

The text reads: How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million

How much a Senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Most people think Social Security is only for retired workers. But it also supports:
👩‍🦽 People with disabilities
🧒 Children and widows
👵 Low-income seniors
👨‍👧 Surviving family members

Social Security is America’s most successful anti-poverty program.

I pulled this info yesterday and it was so wild to see that I have been PAYING INTO and EARNING Social Security benefits since 1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣8️⃣! So crazy! That is TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS of working and earning these benefits. 🧵2/3

📣📣📣 PSA🧵: Make sure you visit ssa.gov ASAP and download all your Estimated Benefits and Earnings Report. Once you have confirmed your identity and set up your profile, if you do not already have one, it takes 5 minutes to do. In total it will take about 15 minutes max! 🧵1/3 #SocialSecurityMatters

A screenshot of an Instagram Story with an an IG post by Senator Cory Booker . The post is a circle photo of Senator Booker besides black text in a white square against a red gradient background. The text reads: They claim that Social Security benefits are a "ripoff," and that the Social Security Administration is stealing your tax dollars.

[Bolded] This is a lie. [Unbolded] Americans earn their Social Security with their hard work - paying into it with every paycheck. 68 million Americans rely on it every month, and it's among the most popular federal programs in existence.

A screenshot of an Instagram Story with an an IG post by @other98. The post is a composite image of Elon Musk and Bernie Sanders side by side.

In pink, text above their pictures reads: $2.9 Billion is nothing to him. Come on!

Below the side by side images of Elon and Bernie, text from atteibuted to @GunnelsWarren reads: If Bernie's Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Musk would have paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would've been solvent for 75 years, benefits would've increased by $2,400 & 93% of Americans would have paid Zero more in taxes. The only one "entitled" is Musk.

A screenshot of an Instagram Story with an an IG post by @tnholler. The post is a political cartoon by Mike Luckovich AJC.

In black, text above the pictures reads: Be vigilant... because you never know who is gonna take your pew pews!

The cartoon depicts a white man wearing a red hat looking out of his pink home's front windows. His eyes are wide and he has one hand on the window. An elephant in a suit can be seen walking out of the comeback door holding money bags labeled MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY. A text bubble above the elephant reads: KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR DEMOCRATS COMIN' TO TAKE YOUR GUNS!

A meme by Occupy Democrats. It is a photo of Vice President Kamala Harris with the following quoted by Andrew Wortman: "FYI, the Blavk lady with the laugh you had a problem with LITERALLY ran on protecting your Medicaid and Social Security!"

At the bottom of the image it reads: PEOPLE NEED TO STOP BOTING AGAINST THEIR OWN INTERESTS!
