This is exactly how it works. State vital statistics agencies report deaths to Social Security within days. SSA stops benefits very soon after.
But Trump & DOGE aren’t interested in how Social Security works. They’re interested in destroying our trust in it.

All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.

Trump has signed an executive order to clear-cut 280 million acres of trees (even endangered species) in National Forests and other projected lands.
Everything this administration does is to troll Americans who didn't vote for Trump. Like, say, environmentalists.

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union.
I disagree.
They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber.
It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.

Before Donald Trump, another country's leader also made a deal with Russia to carve up a European country. He was called Adolf Hitler. And the country was Poland.
