DOGE Is Coming for Your Social Security, States Prepare to Sue
DOGE Is Coming for Your Social Security, States Prepare to Sue
As Musk's group heads to more agencies, more legal challenges are cropping up.
You know, if he really wants to cut off fat, star with all the red states. The blue states basically fund most of the red states so let's cut all that funding
Billionaires are all fat.
Log into your SSA account now, get your current statement, and save it somewhere secure. It probably won't make any difference since this administration will almost certainly completely gut the SS program. But at least this way on the slim chance that there is some sort of recompense down the road, you'll have an official document available showing you what you were supposed to get at retirement.
Ahh, fuck.
I'm a federal employee. I've also had to download my most recent earnings & leave statements (something I usually ignore) and take a snapshot of my current leave totals...just in case DOGE fucks it all up.
Add to this a record of any student loans you have or have ever had. You can log in to studentaid.gov and export a full record of your previous loans, your payments and balance over time, and any forgiveness you've received.
As Musk and his goons fucks with the Department of Education, it's unlikely that your student loan balance will go "poof." But records of your payments or any forgiveness you received just might.
And really, individuals should now archive local records of any interactions they've had with the federal government. The federal government can no longer be considered a reliable steward of records.
Oh look, the billionaire savior complex strikes again. Musk's DOGE initiative isn't "efficiency"—it's a hostile takeover of public infrastructure, dressed in Silicon Valley's favorite buzzwords. Dismantling Social Security and gutting the CFPB? Classic move for someone who thinks regulations are just speed bumps on the road to monopolistic utopia.
And partnering with Visa? How revolutionary. Let’s replace accountability with a payment processor that’s definitely never exploited consumers. Meanwhile, "X" becomes the perfect propaganda funnel—centralized, unmoderated, and conveniently aligned with Elon’s latest whim.
But sure, let’s trust the guy who throws tantrums over unionizing workers to "streamline" agencies protecting vulnerable citizens. What’s next, privatizing oxygen? Wake me when the lawsuits bankrupt his ego.
I've never seen a house of reps so quiet and scared to do their jobs but party "loyalty" >>> their constituents
if SS gets fucked with/up, I wonder if I can sue my MAGAt relatives to force them to give financial support to my grandparents. cause without SS they will fucking die.
Son of a bitch touches mine he's a dead one
Well, His Jet Location is well tracked
there is no congress. there is no supreme court. there's no constitution. forget it. it's over man whatever.
I mean the thing is, even when we felt like they were there, did they even do anything beneficial for the common folk? No government really cares about its people anymore. It’s just a way for people elected to line up their pockets.
I think there was some hope that it could be repaired slowly if the republican party became too batshit crazy to elect again
DOGE? Like the dog meme and meme coin?
Yep. Commonly known as the Department of Government Enshitification
Yep. Elon names everything DOGE or X.
because hes a fucking emotionally stunted child who never matured past the age of 13.
Awful shit and at minimum, I hope the red run welfare states get the "Squeal like a pig (Deliverance)" treatment from DOGE.
If the DogeBags end up fucking with nearly everyone's Social Security....they have not really thought this through.
This country is armed to the teeth, and if some of those armed, and crazy, people realize that YOU are one of the people directly responsible for fucking with their lifeline (we are not talking about some faceless, byzantine bureaucracy here, we are talking about idiot fElon, his DogeBags, and their asinine "move fast and break things" mentality), well....let's just say it might end very badly.
All of these people, including the incel DogeBags, probably have a lot of security detail. But that security has to work 100% of the time. The crazies only need to be successful once...
oh bullshit.
If the so called Armed americans havent done shit until now, they wont do anything, ever.
They aren't hurting yet. The Dogebags could make things, much, much worse.
If they thought they were hurting when systems operated properly and checks were paid, banking worked properly under things like the FDIC and we had one of the best economies in quite a long time....buckle up.
These guys are out to break government. That will be absolutely make people absolutely miserable. If they thought "Bidenflation" was excruciating, they ain't seen nothing yet.
For what it's worth, people are usually only inclined to take action after they themselves have been hurt so badly they have no other options left. I wouldn't expect to see any political assassinations until our grandparents are losing their homes, food gets so expensive people cannot eat, censorship has taken away comforts like porn, and unemployment is incredibly high
Once all of that happens and still no action is taken by anyone, then yeah I'll agree most gun nuts only collect firearms to LARP getting to kill minorities.
I have seen nothing from the gun folks to indicate they'll do anything other than cheer on Trumpsk while they burn the nation down. You have to have some brains, ambition and organization to do anything like that.
Oh how much I would to see another Luigi moment.
Call the chiropractor because he needs an adjustment.
and crazy, people realize that YOU are one of the people directly responsible for fucking with their lifeline
Theb they shoukd shoot themselves for supporting the idiot with a vote.
Nah, the armed brainwashed masses will blame the libs and brown people and continue to suck Elon and trumps knobby dicks
Blaming the libs won't put food on the table.
"Three missed meals from anarchy."
Time to find out if it's true.
Oh, I'm sure quite a few that are glued to their Outrage Industrial Complex will do that, but all it takes is just a few to realize that donvict put fElon and his DogeBags in there to fuck up their social security (or Medicare. or Medicaid) payments.
Even if only a tiny, tiny fraction of them realize just exactly who is to blame for such a scenario....again, it's not some faceless organization that would have done this; they have names.
more likely to bite them off!
You all dont get it, they're not going to cut Social Security, they're going to take a cut of it. It is no mistake that Musk is going after the actual payment system. He is going to try and force all government payments to individuals (and maybe all other payments too) onto X.
Listen to this guy 'cos he ain't fucking wrong. It's grifts, all the way down.
I agree 100%. "X the everything app" being a bank was one of his first goals way before he bought Twitter. He actively tried and failed.
Oh, exterminator, finally! Start over by the ficus.
It takes a lot longer to sue than to copy a database.
And even less time to install a virus, worm, or backdoor...
Months vs minutes for a table that size.
How long until Americans realize, and start to flee to Canada and Mexico. I'd advice those countries to prepare for millions of US refugees. Don't forget to include a bible and a gun in every care package to make them feel at home. Trump takes care of the immigration problem by making the US the worst place to be.
As one of the blue states, we’re not getting directly hit yet. Our leaders are strong and I’m a confident we can hold out, like a beacon of hope, for the next four years. We can rebuild. We have the technology. We can make it better than it was. Better, stronger, faster.
In theory we could even be better off, not paying in all that money that less developed states depend on, k though taxes never go down. I’m sure just like last time, they’ll add a twist to the tax cuts for the wealthy to screw over high cost of living states.
Don’t forget to include a bible and a gun in every care package to make them feel at home.
You're getting mixed up. The ones fleeing would not be the ones with the bibles and guns--those are who they would be fleeing from.
The loonies will flee too when they find out what they voted for.
Fleeing to canada could mean in the future to flee to a 51st usa state, hopefully this will never happen…
I'm not running.
They're the ones who suck. Make them leave.
I'm currently in the process of relocating to Canada via my job, know many others who are as well.
Imagine fleeing ro a county whose people have beed called drug dealer criminal rapists by the president they elected twice.
Funny how Musk doesn't seem in a hurry to go after the IRS or the DHS...
The IRS is no threat to him personally, since the Republicans have ensured that it doesn't have the funding to go after the BIG tax dodgers like himself.
As for the DHS, ICE SHOULD be a threat to him since he broke visa rules and as such is technically in the country illegally, but that would require for the law to apply to politically connected billionaires..
Unfortunate news for you. The IRS falls under the US Treasury. They've already got it.
Hope he doesn't. I'm afraid they will use the IRS to go after the poor and the shredded remains of the middle class and ignore anyone actually committing tax fraud.
they will use the IRS to go after the poor and the shredded remains of the middle class and ignore anyone actually committing tax fraud.
That's the fun/infuriating part: due to a lack of funding, that's already the case no matter who's in charge of the IRS!
It's much more expensive for the IRS to audit the big fish and, knowing that, the GOP have made sure that they're underfunded enough that their billionaire overlords like Musk can cheat on their taxes with impunity and never get audited.
During a news conference Friday, President Trump said that Americans’ social security would remain undisturbed by DOGE. “Social Security will not be touched, it will only be strengthened,” he said.
you mean you're going to uncap contributions and put a lower ceiling on what the most wealthy receive from it, while increasing benefits all around for everyone else??!?!?!?!!? wutuwaitinfor?
"will not be touched"
"will be strengthened"
How do you do the latter without doing the former? 🤔
Well, first you need to be senile and profoundly moronic. Then you just say things you think people want to hear.
