Despite his promises to protect Social Security, Trump is cutting it. [View all]

DOGE slashed 7,000 agency staff – and local offices nationwide are shuttering. 70 million Americans are navigating a crisis to get the payments they need.

“It’s almost like you’re being punished.”

PUNISHED for trying to get the money - YOUR money - that you paid in all your life, so you'd have a small stipend when you retire. Imagine that.

This doesn't even mention that Musk's DOGE bros ILLEGALLY EXFILTRATED EVERY AMERICAN'S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER and other personal information, and carried it out on computers and/or thumb drives, after which it was uploaded to a cloud service to be analyzed by AI. I suspect Amazon Azure or another cloud storage vendor is housing all of it - AND IT IS NOT SECURE THERE, since cloud services can be hacked. And WHO has those computers and thumb drives now? Are they encrypted? What if someone steals them or they become lost? Or, one of the DOGE bros decides to sell the info on the dark net for a tidy sum?

Social Security Works details some of what they've done. This is a screenshot from an email they sent me that explains the video, and this is only part of their destruction of the SSA.

NOTE how little the Social Security Administration uses for administrative purposes in comparison to private retirement companies or 401 (k) s. It's MUCH less. In other words, there WAS NO WASTE to cut! And the SSA was ALREADY understaffed and underfunded before Trump and DOGE started their campaign of destruction. NOW it's even worse.
