YES --> 5 Ways @AARP Recently Fought for #SocialSecurity, for example: https://t.co/fV2zTg9jIL (Fun fact: people ages 50+ contribute $8.3 TRILLION to the U.S. economy yearly)

AARP @MyechiaJordan calls next round of #Rxdrugs announced for Medicare negotiation "another significant step" to achieving a top priority for older Americans: lowering Rx drug prices. For the 125 million ppl ages 50+, "we will continue working to make Rx drugs more affordable."

[Sarah Lovenheim @lovenheim]

This is a serious breach of Americans' trust... @NancyLeaMond's take: "Anyone involved must be held accountable and the Social Security Administration must take immediate steps to ensure nothing like this can happen again"

NEWS: The Social Security Administration has referred two DOGE employees for Hatch Act violations after discovering contacts with a political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results.

Some good news tied to efforts to lower health care costs: big savings for 15 high-priced Rx drugs are coming. AARP's @TonyPughDC shares the details, announced tonight by CMS: https://t.co/Y3D6S4vKYW

[Sarah Lovenheim @lovenheim]

@AARP CEO responds to CMS news of groundbreaking Rx drug prices: "Older Americans across the political spectrum consistently say lower drug prices are a top priority, and these negotiated prices will bring meaningful relief to millions of people"

New state data from @AARP, @NA4Caregiving makes it clear: this a quiet crisis in the making, affecting 63 million Americans. Let's change this. https://t.co/csvC89v8Nn

[Sarah Lovenheim @lovenheim]

AARP has long been warning about today's deadline to extend #telehealth coverage. Everyone should be able to get the #healthcare they need, when and where they need it. There have been bipartisan bills to permanently extend it under Medicare on the table https://t.co/407iEXD2il

The Sundance Kid has ridden into the sunset.

An example of media + advocacy driving change:

[Meryl Kornfield @MerylKornfield]

The change has not yet been posted on the regulation website. I'll update this thread when it is. Meanwhile, I do wonder if a revision would have happened if AARP hadn't written its letter and if reporters didn't ask questions.

[Sarah Lovenheim @lovenheim]

.@AARP to Senate leadership today: Focus on the consequences for older adults (incidentally, the largest voting bloc in America). Be in touch for the full letter:

@_BenLeonard_ @UVALaw Congrats, Ben, and all the best!

@DocWashburn @ProfMJCleveland This case is not "AARP v. Trump." AARP had no involvement in litigation filed that used "A.A.R.P." as a pseudonym and takes no position on the matters at issue. Our formal request to the court to change the name of the case and use an alternative pseudonym was granted on in April

@pjaicomo This case is not "AARP v. Trump." AARP had no involvement in litigation filed that used "A.A.R.P." as a pseudonym & we take no position on the matters at issue. Our formal request to the court to change the name of the case and use an alternative pseudonym was granted.

Good to keep in mind: In America, people relying on #Medicare Part D take an average of 4-5 Rx drugs per month, making these prices and others unwieldly for so many: https://t.co/MGmw8MBlLl

With nearly half of American (private sector) workers lacking access to save for retirement, this should be a wake-up call to Congress of how to help more people start saving: https://t.co/o0ABBNPRam
