Good luck with that 😂
So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

Two stories today about different people wrongly thrown off Social Security, one marked dead, the other seems to be because he was born outside the U.S. on a U.S. military base.

First effects of DOGE on SSA. This will get worse.

Just the beginning. Donald Trump is for he/himself and his billionaire friends.

Let’s Call It: Trump 2.0 Is Lining Up for Massive Social Security Cuts

These are the real posters. This is "the juice" in its rawest form.
