"67,000 seniors could die. Local media must report the truth."
"They have already cut Social Security. Not in theory. Not someday. It’s happening now. Under orders from Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the Social Security Administration has been gutted, offices closed, staff slashed, benefits delayed, and lives destroyed.

"They have already cut Social Security. Not in theory. Not someday. It’s happening now. Under orders from Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the Social Security Administration has been gutted, offices closed, staff slashed, benefits delayed, and lives destroyed.
But that’s not the worst of it.
A new report from Senator Bernie Sanders warns that if these cuts go forward, up to 67,000 people could die waiting for disability and retirement benefits.[1]
Let that sink in: tens of thousands of Americans, dead, not because of war, not because of illness, but because they were forced to wait over 400 days for a decision on the benefits they paid into their entire lives.
This is a humanitarian disaster. It’s deliberate. And it’s being carried out by a billionaire with zero experience running a government agency, empowered by a twice-impeached con man, whose only goal is to destroy the social safety net and hand our futures over to Wall Street.
And yet... the media’s essentially silent. Your local TV stations? Newspapers? Online news feeds? Nothing. The collapse of the most successful government program in American history is unfolding in real time, and most people don’t even know it’s happening.
Ask your local media to report on the impact of Social Security cuts already. Lives are on the line. Social Security is being sabotaged. Take action now.
The Social Security crisis is no longer theoretical, it’s measurable in human lives.
Sanders’ report cites internal SSA data and expert analysis. The Musk-backed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is aiming to eliminate 50% of SSA staff.
That would lead to catastrophic delays: a 412-day average wait for disability decisions. Thousands will die while the system “processes” their existence. This is Trump’s plan. This is Musk’s dream. A smaller government, not because it’s more efficient, but because it doesn’t serve the poor, the elderly, or the vulnerable at all.
A disabled woman from California put it bluntly in testimony cited by Senator Sanders: if she can't prove she’s "sick enough,” she fears she'll be forced to work herself into an early grave, just to survive.
The media must report that this is happening now, not IF cuts happen in the future.
Local editors and TV producers need to hear from us. Urge them to report the truth about what Trump and Musk are doing to Social Security now -- before it’s too late.
Thank you for your comment. Both Trump and Musk loathe disabled people whom they have deemed "defective". They believe in eugenics. In fact, Musk sees older people as useless, no longer contributing to society. They want to cut in order to allow for the rich to have their tax cuts. The mainstream media sucks. Thank you for speaking out
