We're paying more for gas, groceries, and health care. W/o action, the average SS benefit will be cut by $500/month in 2032!

Meanwhile, Trump is planning ANOTHER monument to himself no one wants or needs.

November is coming. We need to vote like our lives depend on it.

America's unions oppose preemption of state authority to regulate the development and implementation of AI.

We can only support legislation that protects workers without sacrificing states' ability to do so for themselves.

Last week, Scott Bessent said Americans hadn't paid much more for gas since the war with Iran started.

Billionaires might not notice the difference, but the rest of us are making tough choices to make ends meet.

We need to elect a Congress that lowers prices for all of us.

After decades of paying into Social Security with each paycheck, Americans expect to receive every dollar we are owed! They're ours!

Dr. Oz says that Trump "loves and cherishes Medicaid and Medicare" and "saved Medicad."

That's weird: His tax cuts have led to decreased Medicaid funding, which means that many seniors now have to pay higher Medicare premiums, which is something many can't afford.

🗓️🗳️ Midterm elections are coming in just a few months and many states are "purging" voters from the rolls.

They want to make it harder for us to vote.

We won't be deterred. Take a minute to make sure YOU are STILL registered. Check your status now.

We've contributed to Social Security with every paycheck we've ever made. It's our money; we demand nothing less than our full benefits!

That's why we need to elect a Congress that will #ScrapTheCap before everyone's benefits are cut by 23% in 2033.

🗓️ The deadline to renew mail-in ballot requests is coming up in Florida, but many seniors face hurdles during the process.

As FLARA President Felicia Bruce says, "We should be making it easier to participate in our democracy, not harder."

🚨📊 A majority of Americans say they've had to cut back on groceries.

Last week, Trump claimed that TrumpRx has helped prescription drug prices go down as much as 600%.

Of course, 600% would be impossible (are you getting cash back?).

But the serious reality is that the price of many drugs are still going UP!

This summer, the wealthiest Americans will be taking lavish vacations paid for by the many tax breaks they get — including on Social Security.

Meanwhile, most Americans are still paying with every paycheck.

Let's elect a Congress that will #ScrapTheCap!

ICYMI, the Trump administration is deploying software to spy on Social Security workers. This is not just creepy, it's going to lead to more field office closures and benefit delays.

💡 Did you know that older Americans who vote live longer than those who don't?

When we vote, we're fighting for democracy AND ourselves!

Why should we be OK with so many tax breaks for Elon Musk, including the one that keeps him from paying his fair share into Social Security?

It's wrong. Congress needs to #ScrapTheCap and make sure Elon and every billionaire pays their fair share like the rest of us.

The Trump-GOP tax cuts are gutting Social Security. Really.

According to Scott Bessent, being upset that Americans are dipping into savings to pay for necessities like gas and groceries is a "doomer view."

Most retirees live on a fixed income. We MUST elect a Congress that will bring DOWN the cost of food, utilities, gas, and medicine.

[Alliance for Retired Americans @ActiveRetirees]

Scott Bessent says Americans have paid nearly $200 more for gas since the war with Iran started.

He also says it "isn't much" money.

$200 isn't much for billionaires like Bessent and Trump, but for the average retiree whose Social Security check is $1400/month, it's a crisis.

[Alliance for Retired Americans @ActiveRetirees]

Social Security is...
✅ There when we need it
✅ A benefit we've been promised
✅ Something we've spent our lives paying for
✅ OUR money!

Any questions?
