DOGE is GUTTING the SSA – and it’s in crisis!

DGA SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS via The Washington Post: “Long waits, waves of calls, website crashes: Social Security is breaking down” “A flood of cuts led by Elon Musk has sent the agency into chaos as a new commissioner prepares to take charge.” Team: First, Elon Musk called the Social Security Administration “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.” Now, DOGE is GUTTING the SSA – and it’s in CRISIS! You’ve been selected to be one of 21 Democrats we need in your area to take our 1-click live poll: Do you trust Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Republicans with the future of Social Security? YES NO UNSURE Team, thanks to Donald Trump giving him free rein of the federal government, Elon’s DOGE has ransacked the Social Security Administration: More than 12% of the SSA workforce – nearly 7,000 people – are reportedly being laid off when staffing is already at a 50-year low. Dozens of local Social Security offices throughout the country will be closed by the end of the year. The SSA website has crashed four times in 10 days – preventing millions from accessing their online accounts due to server overload. Severe staff shortages have left calls unanswered for hours! SSA officials are warning that these cuts could create holes in the agency’s structure that could push millions into poverty. A new rule forces many to apply for Social Security in person – but with significant office closures and staff cuts, rural and older Americans could be left stranded. These cuts to the SSA don’t just undermine its ability to provide reliable and quick service – they could also be the difference between life or death for those who rely on their benefits for housing and food. And it could get much worse: Trump’s pick to lead the SSA, Frank Bisignano, has publicly supported Elon's DOGE cuts – and could be confirmed ANY DAY. No wonder EVERYONE – even some Republicans – are sounding the alarm about the future of Social Security. Now we want to know where YOU stand: Do you trust Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Republicans with the future of Social Security?
