Americans—especially seniors—have lost billions to crypto scams and fraud. @SenAlexPadilla and @SenAdamSchiff must put consumer protection first by strengthening safeguards, transparency, and accountability.

The number of financial side deals the Trump family is running is so shocking it can sometimes be hard to track.

According to @Reuters, their crypto ventures alone have delivered $2.3 billion to Trump & co. while creating a similar-sized loss for investors.

.@RepMaxineWaters, seniors in CA-43 depend on community banks, local nonprofits + small biz. Expanding FDIC coverage to $5M for business accounts could increase costs for community lenders + reduce resources serving retirees. Please oppose the Hagerty-Alsobrooks proposal

[Golden Years Policy Council @GoldenYearsPol]

Using a 1960s wiretapping law, a loophole
has been created to sue businesses and
organizations for using common website
tools.

These legal shakedowns ripple thru our
economy and especially hurt seniors on fixed incomes.

Reform is needed.

The GENIUS Act loophole could shift deposits away from community banks. For seniors on fixed incomes, trusted local banks aren’t optional, they’re essential. Support innovation without weakening the banks older Americans rely on. @AdamSchiff22 @SenAlexPadilla

On Valentine’s Day, we honor the love, wisdom, and hard-earned experience of California’s seniors. Their voices built this state — and we’re fighting every day to make sure they’re heard and respected.

Because every generation deserves to feel valued. ❤️

@ DrOzCMS Latino seniors in the Valley are facing a long-term care emergency, says Latino Times — with few services available in rural areas and rising needs as our population ages. Policymakers must prioritize accessible, culturally-competent care now. https://t.co/DPoVc5bRY3

Facing health challenges and needing to go to a nursing home is scary on its own. It's even worse when people who are sick have to worry about being abused by the people they trust to care for them. https://t.co/2mfiycRuz7

"Unless Congress acts swiftly, thousands of Californians could lose access to vital pharmaceutical services and long-term care."
Passing H.R. 5031 (Van Duyne–Schneider) is the solution.

60% of LTC pharmacies could shut down under new Medicare Part D rules — hurting seniors with complex needs.H.R. 5031 (Van Duyne–Schneider) is a bipartisan fix. Congress & the White House need to act now.@RepDavidValadao @KenCalvert @RepYoungKim @JamesBlairUSA @DrOzCMS

Scammers are targeting local residents with fake tech support calls and seniors are among the most impacted. Don't give a stranger over the phone your password or access to your computer. https://t.co/e3qLTLiH40

For America’s seniors, Monuments like Chuckwalla & Sattitla mean health, recreation & time with family. Protecting them protects wellness, tradition & historical value for future generations. #ProtectMonuments

It’s one thing to “need” to work in your golden years. It’s another to continue working even though you don’t need the money. Working is one valuable way to live a meaningful life.

$159 billion stolen in one year. Scammers are targeting California’s seniors—and Congress is asleep at the wheel. It’s time to treat online scams like the organized crime it is. Not just a tech issue. This is a public safety crisis.

If the “big beautiful bill” becomes law, middle class seniors could receive up to $6000 in tax reductions. https://t.co/wNeB0172E4

Seniors + vulnerable Californians could lose access to life-saving obesity meds via Medi-Cal. Obesity’s a disease—not a choice. Cutting coverage deepens health inequities + drives long-term costs higher. @Scott_Wiener

[Golden Years Policy Council @GoldenYearsPol]

Seniors are especially impacted by California's cost of living crisis because many are retired and on a fixed income. When older Californians are priced out, communities lose an important resource for volunteering, family support, and the wisdom that comes with age.

[CalTax @CalTax]

California's high taxes and high cost of living are top concerns for residents, Berkeley IGS Poll reports.

More seniors in NorCal and Southern Oregon are becoming homeless for the first time — even with Social Security and decades of work behind them.

Housing costs, illness, and limited support are taking a toll.

[Golden Years Policy Council @GoldenYearsPol]

The cost of living crisis has especially impacted California seniors. Thank you to @shannongrove and @LATaxpayers for your leadership on this important reform. #CASeniors

[Sacramento Daily Press @SacDailyPress]

“For retirees on fixed incomes, these rising costs have become unsustainable. SB 566 provides timely, targeted relief,” said Aidan Chao of @LATaxpayers, which endorsed the bill this week.
