How DOGE’s grand plan to remake Social Security is backfiring
The agency is abandoning an initiative aimed at preventing fraud, the latest example of a failed effort by Elon Musk’s disruptive cost-cutting team.

Billionaires like Elon Musk and Donald Trump don’t respect workers or their voices in the workplace. They are dead wrong and their union-busting needs to stop. I’m proud to stand with these workers and support their right to organize.
Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us.
We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.

Under Fire From Trump Administration, CFPB Drops Its Lawsuit Against Zelle
The agency had dismissed the case 'with prejudice,' which means victims of fraud won't be able to claim relief. It comes as Trump and DOGE move to dismantle the CFPB.

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security.
What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices.
Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

SSA is in complete chaos. Buried in this article is a service worker noting that "the phone never stops ringing" and **retirement claims aren't being processed**. Hard to overstate the significance of that. End goal is to privatize the agency. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
DOGE is driving Social Security cuts and will make mistakes, acting head says privately
The Social Security Administration’s acting commissioner said members of Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team are outsiders who are unfamiliar with the nuances of the agency’s programs.

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos shouldn’t pay a lower tax rate than a Boston public school teacher.
The wealthiest and most powerful people in this country should be paying their fair share — not getting tax breaks from Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress.

Social Security Administration offices are being closed across the country, and we need to act now. Please call your congressional representative today - it only takes five minutes. The system will ask for your zip code and connect you directly. Let them know you support SSA!

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.
