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.

🚨 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

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.

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.

Last month, Sen. Bernie Moreno said the following: "There should be no reason why we should have a cap on Social Security wages. If you make income just like anybody else, you should have to pay Social Security wages." We're not going to let him forget it. We need to #ScrapTheCap!

As social media continues to get more sophisticated, so do the scammers. Justin Brookman of Consumer Reports explains how bad actors are taking advantage of older adults — and how easy social media makes it for them.

Disability activist Alice Wong talked about cripping the world, or in her words, "to bend, compress, twist, subvert, imbue disabled wisdom into systems, institutions and cultures." Could we do it in the next hundred years, asks Laura Flanders in this week's closing commentary: bit.ly/4pxYUu2

I can guarantee you there's absolutely nothing Trump could do to make these people feel otherwise.
