SOCIAL SECURITY IS BREAKING DOWN!!!
Washington Post: “The Social Security Administration website crashed four times in 10 days this month, blocking millions of retirees and disabled Americans from logging in to their online accounts because the servers were overloaded.

Okay, this is just stupid! One of the benefits of having a #website is that people can access your services at any time, day or night, right? Well, I just went to the #SocialSecurity website to try and get a benefit verification letter, which I need because I'm trying to reestablish a #VocationalRehabilitation case. I clicked "Sign In" and was greeted by this message:
This service is not available at this time.

This of the website limitation is especially frustrating for me because I have a #Non24HourSleepWakeDisorder and an unpredictable schedule. It feels like the website is designed without thinking about people like me who need flexibility.
Has anyone else out there had similar issues with government services or other websites?

A lot of boos as #Trump praised #ElonMusk & #DOGE.
Trump is lying about something that he & #Musk have said before: that there’s massive “fraud” in #SocialSecurity being paid out to deceased Americans still in the system.
Analysts & watchdog groups have thoroughly DEBUNKED this crap.
The problem is neither new nor a sign of widespread fraud, but a technological issue w/Social Security’s tracking system & does not represent a source of significant spending.
Some #Democrats will be wearing stickers saying #ElonMusk is stealing #SocialSecurity.
Several Dems will boycott #Trump’s speech altogether.
Me? I am having a martini to gird myself against the terror.
And that’s what I’ve decided Trump has been up to in his first 50ish days, a campaign of #terror against the citizens of the US & the citizens of planet earth.
Anxiety Mounts Among Social Security Recipients as DOGE Troops Settle In

Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.
