Trump’s cuts at Social Security will dish out PAIN…….

And that pain is gonna be carried by Lawmakers in Congress….

Republican Lawmakers  ARE saying they are NOT in the Loop?

Congress pays the Bills….

They CAN stop Musk’s DOGE moves ….

Saying they don’t KNOW anything is NOT gonna make voters happy when they do NOT get their monthly check….

And Confirming the new Socila Security Boss is probably the time to leverage this…

 

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is moving to downsize the Social Security Administration with office closures, cutbacks on phone services and new rules requiring in-person visits for some prospective beneficiaries to register.

And DOGE is making those changes without consulting or notifying some of the most senior lawmakers on Capitol Hill who oversee Social Security, including GOP allies of President Donald Trump.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Finance subcommittee on Social Security, said he had not been told ahead of time about DOGE’s moves at the agency.

“No, I have not been,” Grassley told NBC News.

Asked if it would be helpful to his job if he were given a heads-up, Grassley repeated, “I have not been. I have not been.”

Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., a Senate Finance Committee member who on Tuesday pressed Trump’s nominee to lead the Social Security Administration about long wait times for customer service, said in an interview that he, too, hasn’t been in the loop for the administration’s changes.

“No, we haven’t,” he said. “I haven’t had any heads-up on any specific announcements.”

Daines said he would appreciate advance notice about the changes the administration makes to Social Security.

“I’d like to know about it, yeah,” he said.

Even Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who led bipartisan efforts to overhaul Social Security in recent years, was not consulted or given advance notice by the White House. Cassidy’s talks with Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, have failed to yield consensus and appear to be on pause, with the mild-mannered King torching Musk and the administration this week over Social Security….
