The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

The President is lying about Social Security as an excuse to gut Social Security after promising not to touch it.
Why? To pave the way for more tax cuts for the rich.

When an American Town Massacred Its Chinese Immigrants
In 1885, white rioters murdered dozens of their Asian neighbors in Rock Springs, Wyoming. A hundred and forty years later, the story of the atrocity is still being unearthed.

Trump's Social Security Administration commissioner just called for a 50% staff reduction.
This would gut SSA field offices and make it harder for millions of seniors to access benefits.
Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.

📢Did you know GOP leaders are shopping around proposals that would make it harder for married women to vote?
