If your bank forced you to legally put a certain amount of your paycheck every payday for 30 years into a savings account for your "retirement," didn't give you interest, then when you were getting ready to retire, said "we're only going to give you 70% of your money back, because we can't afford to pay you the full amount."
Would you accept that?
Vote every Republican out.
Donald Trump's policies are accelerating Social Security’s insolvency.
Here’s a common-sense solution:
My bill would fund Social Security for the next 75 YEARS by making the wealthy pay their fair share — and EXPAND benefits at the same time.
It’s time to act.
This is excellent news. The AMA is calling for pharmacy-refusal data, including how often valid prescriptions are refused and why. It is about time someone pushes tracking patient outcomes for opioid reduction policies. This is a great start. Thank you @ChadDKollas !
My health insurance went up 21% this year. How about you? The really big health care cuts haven't even hit yet! Because Republicans wanted tax cuts to billionaires and more endless foreign wars. #CantAffordTrump
$2 trillion+ for billionaire tax cuts.
A $70 billion blank check for ICE and CBP.
$1.8 billion for J6 rioters.
Now they say we need to cut Medicare and Social Security.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump's former economic advisor just admitted on Fox News that inflation is being driven nearly exclusively by bad decisions that Donald Trump has made. Wow.
MacFarlane: What do you think your constituents think about this slush fund?
McGovern: They think Trump is a corrupt son of a bitch who doesn’t give a shit about them.
Thanks to Trump's tax cuts for the rich, Social Security's trustees warn the program will be unable to pay out full benefits by 2032.
There's only one way to reverse this trend.
Scrap the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes.
TUCKER: “How much does it matter what Americans think?”
HUCKABEE: “It matters every bit.”
TUCKER: “80% oppose war with Iran.”
HUCKABEE: “We don’t live in a world where polls dictate policy.”
TUCKER: “Oh, I thought you said it matters what Americans think.”
These attacks on disaster preparedness and recovery are ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
In a hurricane, wildfire, flood, or earthquake, Trump says you're on your own.
Today, there are more than 70 million Social Security beneficiaries, with over 10K baby boomers turning 65 every day. Yet, the number of staff at the SSA has declined.
Congress should step in and restore funding and staffing levels, and end the national scourge of ghost offices.
Don't forget: Jared Kushner still hasn't divested from his firm that receives $25 million/yr in fees from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.
Given his reported role in convincing Trump to attack Iran—just as the Saudi government wanted—his disclosure and divestment is urgent.
I'll be introducing the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act, a bill giving the public a direct stake to determine AI's future.
When a public resource generates wealth, the public should share in that wealth. https://t.co/pqlQyEKDKT
