IF YOU SIGN UP NOW OR LATER, don't think you'll get your social security retirement benefits. You won't get them. [View all]

Nobody is there to process them. This is BEFORE they fire 50% of the SSA staff.

AFTER they do it, nobody's getting ANYTHING out of that agency.

Elonâ€™s DOGE is wreaking havoc on Social Security, causing significant service delays for seniors across our country.

Americans work hard to contribute to Social Security â€” making the program inaccessible and inefficient is a backdoor cut to benefits.
