Social Security Administration spews propaganda already

It hasn't been eight hours yet since the House of Representatives foisted Trump's travesty of a budget bill on us, and the Social Security Administration is already spewing propaganda on what a wonderful thing has been done for us.

I won't post any more than this screen cap of the email header I received a couple of minutes ago. I don't want to give it the oxygen.

I wonder how many of Social Security's 74-milllion recipients got it, too?

My inbox is blasted with similar messages pretending to come from my insurers, banks, and utilitity companies.

I have never seen anything from my Social Security account and I'm on it and on Medicare.

And then I checked my email and see it.

This is the email sender: subscription.service@subscriptions.ssa.gov

Then I googled that and got this SCAM alert:

Take care.
