Make no mistake about it: President Trump, Co-President Trump, and MAGA congresspeople are coming for your social security. Depending on where they fall on the Trump Insanity Spectrum, these anti-social security proponents either want to do away with Social Security altogether or privatize it. From laying off tens of thousands of Social Security Administration (SSA) employees, to doing away with the phone system people use to contact the SSA, to raising the retirement age, to doing away with cost of living adjustments, these haters of senior citizens want to throw millions of Americans into poverty.

We need a helluva lot more Rep. Larsons these days.

Last week, I reached the age at which I qualify for full benefits. I had originally intended to wait until I’m 70 to collect so I could increase my benefits. But today I applied to start receiving benefits in June*—just in case!
*—My current work contract ends in May.
