Some powerful special interests want you to believe that Social WON’T be there, so they can dismantle it more easily.

Do you know where the candidates on your ballot stand on Social Security? spr.ly/6015BHcKAc

Older voters are extremely motivated to vote, so we make sure they have the info they need to do so with confidence.

The election is in 47 days. Here's what you need to know.

It's officially election season, folks. In this column, I dive into what that means for our work at AARP. spr.ly/6010BG1IMm

Workers fund Social Security through payroll taxes deducted from their paychecks, with employers contributing as well. Stop using language that makes Americans sound like beneficiaries of government generosity when they spent decades financing the system themselves.

You worked for it. You paid for it. You earned it. Calling a Social Security check a “Federal Benefit Payment” is an insult to every working American who paid into the system their entire working life. Social Security is not welfare. It is not charity.

Wondering what's really going on with Social Security? Here's the long and short of it, folks.

And Social Security truly is YOURS. You pay into it with every paycheck. You earn it over a lifetime of hard work. So if we here at AARP are accused of being guilty of fighting too hard to protect and strengthen it... Well, we’ll wear that as a badge of honor. Let me say this clearly: Social Security is America’s greatest promise to its people, and AARP will ALWAYS fight against cuts to your Social Security. 🧵 2/6

Thanks to @TJMeadows304 & @DaveWilsonMN for a great conversation today with @AARPadvocates @jhishta, discussing the future of Social Security on @WVMetroNews Talkline.

We’re bringing the important conversation on Social Security’s future to a statewide audience today, as @AARPadvocates SVP @jhishta visits with WV media outlets. Catch John’s interview with @WOWK13News’ Rick Johnson this weekend on @NXSTMediaGroup Inside WV Politics.

.@LarryOConnor asked me what it means when folks say that Social Security will be "insolvent" if Congress doesn't act.

The latest chatter in Washington this week is about this new proposal...

It's a no-brainer that something as important as personal medical decisions should remain in the hands of patients, families, and trusted health providers. That's why we're urging senators to vote "yes" on a resolution to end the ill-advised WISeR program in Medicare and protect American seniors' healthcare.

Social Security is as important as ever today, and this is why.
