social security

Every week we encounter people, young and old, who believe Social Security will be gone when they need it. This myth has been cultivated for decades by partisans determined to degrade America’s most effective economic lifeline.

More than 68 million Americans received Social Security payments in April, according to data from the administration.

Alex Lawson writes, "These are the sad results of Trump and DOGE’s mismanagement and destruction. Montanans who want to access their hard-earned Social Security benefits are paying the price."

Margrie MacDonald writes, "There are steps Congress and the President can take to secure the system for current and future generations."

Michelle King left the agency rather than give billionaire Elon Musk’s task force access to sensitive information about hundreds of millions of Americans.

While speaking with a group of senior citizens Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Jon Tester received an endorsement from the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.

Tim Minow of Big Sky 55+ writes, "It is reckless and irresponsible to distress and scare Montanans with patently false information that will bring them anxiety, worry and sleepless nights."

Social Security will no longer be able to pay full benefits in 2033, a year earlier than previously expected, according to a report released Friday.
