SSA FIELD OFFICE CLOSURES There’s 11 out of 1,230 Field Offices. Two articles in last 24 hrs about “former SSA Martin O’Malley says major disruptions”. 1) This same story keeps being repeated for 6 weeks now 2) 50K is LESS than 75K employees. I think? www.ssa.gov/agency/emerg...

Trump wants to get rid of the “pork”. He did, 12,000 tons of pork that was supposed to go to China. Who hasn’t felt all of this yet, Alzheimer’s funding, tariffs, deportations, Federal job cuts, children, entire world. Judiciary targeting to amp up soon may be next. apple.news/AX9W2GIg1S_W...

Ziva misses this old furniture, new house, no more renting, new start. She’s my youngest by a lot, she’ll be fine.

I need to hear, get transcript for this case. Not just SCOTUS, but I’d like to ask Gov. Walz about this, maybe no input? KY has this girl who needs help with all ADLs and other accommodations in Special Needs. They move to MN who DENIES her help. Fed Funding issue also. apple.news/AsXXISPdAQbK...

Next? KIDS Trump’s asking 9th Circuit for "en banc" review of 3-judge panel District Court ruling, gives funding to rep children in immigration cases. Less than 2% are given. It is usually used for complex cases, an ELEVEN Judge panel will hear the case. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Executive Orders CANNOT repeal laws. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in federally funded programs and activities. Title VI is a law enacted by Congress. TOTAL BS - GOP needs to wake up NOW or why have a Congress? Racist POS www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

SS PRESS RELEASE 4/22 It’s “SS Month”, Biden, DEI, “sky high wait times, unconscionable delays”. REALLY? 15% short staffed, get rid of 7,000 more will HELP THIS? “help access benefits online, phones” (insert puke) 17yrs I quit because of DOGE. SICK JOKE RELEASE www.ssa.gov/news/press/r...

PROPOSED SOCIAL SECURITY CHANGES BY PARTY ALL FACTS - LINKS ARE CONGRESS GOP PROPOSAL blasts disabled and “low wage earners” and praises high earners who carry the brunt of this. I really don’t understand since max tax is $176,100 presently. 1/5 www.cbo.gov/system/files...

I’ve had problems with “today” for 8 years now. Maybe a day will come where this no longer happens. With that being said, it’s going to be 80 degrees and “my three dogs” said we need a long desert hike today. Could be our last here as we’re moving Friday. I’m going to miss it here.

SS OFFICE CLOSURES As of Friday 4/18/25 FOURTEEN SS Field Offices were closed. This is out of 1,200. None of the 37 tele-service centers are closed. Three of the fourteen are back open tomorrow. Do not listen to media falsely reporting office closures. 14/1200 is it. www.ssa.gov/agency/emerg...

LAWSUITS V TRUMP They did it, 201 lawsuits and I’m certain more will come. Four cases closed, rest appeals. I’ll see if I can read some, but 70 degrees is great hiking weather and I’m moving next Friday…so. Nothing new on SSA front. KEEP THEM IN COURT www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

Visuals can be great at times, like this. Everyone reading this should….do your own thing. It upset me probably different than most. We need “Trump Death Clocks”, one for everything and one for military. 19thnews.org/2025/04/aids...

Holidays have been alone a while now, eight years. Dogs have helped a lot. Now is the time for me to change my ex-Fed crappy outlook and make this move work. 500 mile move in one week to a pueblo style house I’ll own, mortgage better vs 8 years of renting. 100-115 degrees for 5 months, G-BYE!

SS PRESS RELEASE ALIENS (in White House) All BS. From me. Public Law (P.L.) 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 became effective for title II (T2 - SSR or SSDI) purposes on September 1, 1996. Each claimant MUST 1/2 www.ssa.gov/news/press/r...

I shouldn’t have pinned Lawsuit post as it’s new. 2 pages, a Coming Soon one is really bad as OMB “no longer has to be transparent or notify Congress of spending.” Seriously - suggest a quick read or the actual new lawsuit is on page 2.

LAWSUITS V TRUMP As of 4/16/25, there’s 192 lawsuits total, 4 cases closed, rest appealed - not fully adjudicate or ignored. On second page of this, there’s a good “Coming Soon” one by Protect Democracy. All 192 here, page 2 link + explanation of new one 1/2 www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

Time again for F47 to take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Tell those animals apart, copy a cylinder, a clock showing 9:10, subtract 7 from 80, highest EVER score! Recite and remember train (AF1), egg (LOL), hat (hmm), chair (boss) and blue (fing liberals). They should name a toilet after him.

SSDI & SSI REVIEWS This PDF contains info, +two pieces of advice from me *See your drs after approved. A lack of medical treatment prior to a review says to drs “you must not be disabled” (bull). Plus you don’t want to see their drs. Good records your drs, easy. 1/2 www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-1...

Something maybe to brighten up your day? Only two are mine, the others Saguaro National Park where all were taken.

ELEVEN of 1,200 SSA Field Offices closed as of today, all 37 tele-service centers open. The other day someone was screaming why they received a letter about a “telephone appointment”’ A telephone-service center employee vs a CLAIMS REP who can handle all is reason why www.ssa.gov/agency/emerg...

Maddow - double trash SSA day We have ALWAYS since Covid sent letters to actually scheduled a phone call. These phone calls are handled by EXPERIENCED CLAIMS REPRESENTATIVES vs a telecenter employee who has minimal experience. SS is very COMPLEX and elimination staff is the cause of this.

Maddow (will never need) daily trash Social Security segment, blamed this on SSA. Kristi Noem and Leland Dudek,acting Social Security commissioner - who SSA fired for sharing information ILLEGALLY with DOGE, hired by DOGE, given current job by Trump. They did this apple.news/AW70I7s-uRfW...

BIG Win, now we see. SCOTUS in a per curiam agreement (9-0) upheld US DC ordered Abrego Garcia return to the US ASAP. Opinion from Justice Sotomayor. Those radical left SCOTUS vs the “will of the people who voted for this moron’s agenda.” We wait, contempt? www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

I just heard some clown R Congressman on AM Jackass say they want to do Medicaid reviews QUARTERLY vs yearly. Yeah let’s have those 2 in the picture WHEELCHAIR BOUND FOR LIFE have them fill out BS paperwork - how much will that add? Even SSA has common sense reviews, 1/3/7 yrs dep on variables.

I’m so glad they’re eliminating all of that wasteful spending - said no one. Only during Covid, 1Q 2021 was it higher. If you think about it, this is a worse pandemic. He killed 1.1 million then, he’ll beat that this term easily. cbs4indy.com/news/politic...

SS Update -Maddow “SS Collapsing” daily. Even though I just QUIT - 1,200 SS Field Offices 13 closed ALL 37 telephone service centers open. Cases being shuffled to others daily. BIGGEST problem for all is SOLVENCY and if not addressed soon, 2033 is not too far away. I have other posts on this

Kind of goes with my 2 page SS Crisis post. TAX THE RICH

WHY SS IS REALLY A MESS AND WE DON’T NEED MORE MESS From the beginning, Numbers in MILLIONS. It even shows SSDI 1957- and Medicare 1966 - Keeps increasing, more and more, big recent retirement jump, disability claims maybe due to our economy for the rich. 1/2

HELP - please let me know if I messed up. Only been on BS maybe 2 months, 8 yr social media hiatus before. I realized all my clutter and said I’d put ALL SS stuff in one post. I copied, pasted to long one which is now really long and deleted. I still see tons. Is this any better? Thanks

I’m listening to the hearing on the Aliens Act. District Judge Millett is SLAUGHTERING Trump’s Asst District Attorney. He keeps blithering the same mumbo jumbo and Judge Millett keeps interrupting him. Maybe Judge Millett was appointed by JFK? What this means probably - SCOTUS whenever.

Greenland should invoke the 1798 Aliens and Sedition Act and deport them! Antarctica?

Two big wins early today *Judge Boasberg refused to take away TRO * REAL BIG, for now as Thomas and Gorsuch have spoken about this. SCOTUS has turned down a request to take up Trump ally Steve Wynn's bid to upend the landmark NYT v. Sullivan press freedom precedent. NO FOUR VOTES More drops
