Scott Bessent says Americans have paid nearly $200 more for gas since the war with Iran started. He also says it "isn't much" money. $200 isn't much for billionaires like Bessent and Trump, but for the average retiree whose Social Security check is $1400/month, it's a crisis.

@repstevenhorsford.bsky.social is right: "Social Security is not a political toy."

On Monday, SCOTUS upheld the law requiring Medicare to negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs, helping many older Americans afford their medications. Every single Congressional Republican voted NO on this law. Alliance Executive Director Richard Fiesta breaks it down.

Last week, billionaire Scott Bessent said Americans hadn't paid that much more for gas since the war with Iran started. Billionaires might not notice the difference, but the rest of us are making tough choices to make ends meet. We need to elect a Congress that will lower prices for all of us.

"It's pretty simple: Without new revenue, Social Security will not be able to cover full benefits. And that will start in 2032." @whitehouse.senate.gov doesn't mince words. If Social Security is going to stay strong for generations, we need to #ScrapTheCap and make the rich pay their fair share.

🚨 Seniors were already struggling to pay for necessities, and now oil prices are at a record high thanks to Trump's war. Experts predict they won't get back to where they were until 2032!! We need a Congress that will hold Trump accountable and focus on our needs.

🚨 Millionaires have already stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of the year, and it isn't even spring yet! Join ARA state presidents in taking a stand — tell Congress to #ScrapTheCap and protect Social Security for years to come: https://ow.ly/WECk50YtMy5

Today, Alliance Executive Director Rich Fiesta appeared with House Ways and Means Dems in support of a resolution investigating DOGE's mishandling of sensitive Social Security data. This was a grave breach of public trust, and those responsible must be held accountable. Watch his full remarks ⬇️

Trump said over and over he would NOT touch Medicaid or Medicare. Then last week, he said there isn't enough money to pay for it. If he thinks we don't remember, he's sorely mistaken.

"Six years from now. That's like tomorrow." Thank you, Senator Merkley, for speaking up for Social Security — we need to keep it strong for generations to come. We can do it if we #ScrapTheCap.

Used car salesman says 50% discount on gas prices ⛽️

SEE HOW EASILY HE LIES The reflecting pool sounds like a disaster: holes and bubbling pain. Trump first bragged that he sent in a contractor he personally used before, a guy who “does pools.” Now suddenly it’s: “I did not know the contractor,” and the folks at Interior made the pick.

Use our cities as "military training grounds" and this is "a war from within." Trump told top military leaders that they will have to mobilize soldiers on American citizens on American soil... #wakeupamerica

There’s many Americans, and especially Michiganders, who still care deeply about the U.S.-Canada relationship. We are in a tough moment right now, but there is a future after President Trump.

Pretty fucked up, when all those people are supporting a billionaire who tried to take their freedom away, not to mention hired a hacking goon squad to take everyone's personal data from social security & put it on an online unsecured cloud provider. Then today they are pushing for age-verifications
