This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

nextgov.comDOGE went looking for phone fraud at SSA — and found almost noneSince SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only two claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents obtained by Nextgov/FCW...

The Trump Administration is trying to destroy the little agency that's put $21 billion back in the pockets of Americans who have been ripped off by big banks and giant corporations. But Congress created the CFPB, and we’re fighting back.

We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

I keep hearing Republicans claim their budget doesn't cut Medicaid. We all know that's a lie — so I asked the nonpartisan CBO to look into it. Their analysis confirms it: the Republican budget delivers the largest Medicaid cuts in history to pay for giveaways to billionaires.

House Budget Committee Democrats@housebudgetdems.bsky.social

What does it mean for DOGE to "make mistakes" with seniors' Social Security? Long wait times, underpayments, or no payments at all. The richest man in the world is sticking his fingers in the benefits our seniors have paid for their entire working lives.
