Yahoo's main page right now is featuring a splashy headline (below) which says that we seniors who got Social Security's illegal email yesterday praising Trump's big, beautiful bill may have been "confused" by that email.
I beg to differ. I was not confused.
I was outraged, because the email was full of lies.
Also, as the article attached to Yahoo's headline, by Ben Adler in USA Today, says,
"'[For Social Security to send out an overtly political email like this is] completely unprecedented,' said Alex Lawson, executive director of Social Security Works, a left-leaning advocacy organization focused on retirement benefits. 'It's an enormous breach of trust.'"
Lawson contends that the email praising Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' violates the Hatch Act, a law against partisan political activity by federal government employees."
And that's why I call the email illegal.
I unsubscribed from all emails from Social Security after I got this politicized pack of lies in my inbox.
This is NOT what the Social Security Administration is set up to do, and all Americans should be concerned about this overt politicization of an essential government agency.
