So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

Leaked memo: DOGE plots to cut Social Security phone support

HERE IT IS…

Elon Musk wants to slash “entitlement spending” to cut the budget—which means Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are on the chopping block.

He claims the waste is in “entitlement spending,” and lies that undocumented immigrants are collecting benefits.

Guess how much they plan on giving the super rich as a tax cut?

$2 TRILLION.

People are going to die including kids.

Tomorrow's House vote on the Republican budget proposal will determine the fate of Medicaid for up to 72 MILLION people!
