We're paying more than ever for basics like gas, food, and housing. The Social Security Trust Fund is set to run out by 2032, which would mean slashing our benefits by 22 percent.
Congress needs to #ScrapTheCap and keep Social Security fully funded so we can live with dignity.

Elon Musk is officially the world's first trillionaire. Yes, TRILLIONAIRE.
Meanwhile, the Social Security Trust Fund is set to run dry in 2032.
There's no way around it: Congress needs to #ScrapTheCap and make sure Elon & his friends pay their fair share into Social Security.

ICYMI, Alliance Legislative Rep. David Simon joined members of the @WaysMeansCmte Social Security Subcommittee at a press conference on the 2026 Trustees Report.

Trump says he "loves" inflation.
Our question: Which part? The part where we're cutting back on our groceries, or where we're paying too much for gas?
That's what we're dealing with, every day.

This week, House Speaker Mike Johnson spilled the beans: If Republicans control Congress next year, they'll cut funding for Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
This November, we need to elect a Congress that protects every dime of the benefits we worked a lifetime to earn.

We're hearing a lot of talk about how Congress can make sure current and future beneficiaries get their full Social Security benefits for years to come.
One simple solution that has support from across the political spectrum? #ScrapTheCap and have everyone pay their fair share!

Yesterday, Social Security Commissioner Bisignano tried to gaslight us and told Congress that wait times at the SSA are way down.
Thanks to @repjudychu, who stood up for retirees and set the record straight.

The Social Security Trustees released their annual report: thanks to Trump's tax cuts and policies, Social Security can only pay full benefits until 2032.
ARA's Richard Fiesta says Congress must act to prevent a 22% cut across the board cut for current and future beneficiaries.

New inflation number out today: we’re spending more on gas, groceries, and housing.
Trump’s response? “I love the inflation.”
We’re NOT his priority and Republicans in Congress are too afraid of him to help us.

Today, @RepHorsford reminded Trump's SSA Commissioner that Americans have a right to every penny of Social Security they earned AND that our data should be kept private.

Social Security hasn’t been expanded in decades and people are living paycheck to paycheck as prices soar.
But the Trump admin is saying we should be grateful.

💯 @RepJohnLarson nails it: Social Security helps not only Americans retire with dignity, but communities prosper. If we can protect and enhance Social Security, EVERYONE benefits.

Donald Trump’s part-time Social Security Commissioner — who has a practiced history of fudging numbers — will appear before Congress today to claim that the agency he gutted has never worked better.
Millions of Americans know the truth, and Congress is hearing their voices.

All lies. Even people with knowledge and resources are facing months long nightmares to claim the Social Security benefits they've earned.

“This year marks the best overall performance in SSA’s history, and we're fulfilling President Trump’s promise to protect and preserve Social Security. Since my confirmation in May 2025, we have delivered better, faster, higher-quality service for the more than 330 million Americans we serve." – Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano

The GOP is evil. They want you to have no social safety net. No health insurance. Nothing for your hard earned tax dollars.
GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson was just caught on tape spilling the beans: if Republicans control the House next year there will be cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
We can't let that happen.

The new report from the Social Security Trustees finds that the Trust Fund will be depleted in 2032, meaning a cut in monthly earned benefits for current and future retirees.
That's faster than expected, driven by the Trump and GOP tax cuts other policies.

📣 Speaker Johnson:
Benefits we worked a lifetime to earn aren't the reason for the federal deficit. HUGE tax cuts for the richest Americans and corporations you and Trump enacted are the problem.
We won't let you (anyone!) cut Social Security or Medicare. They're OURS.
