We, along with tens of millions of Americans, received this email recently. It is not spam. It is a valid email from the American Social Security Administration. It is a lie.
This section is an excerpt from the Guardian article of July 5th, 2025.
“It doesn’t sound like normal government communications, official communications. It sounds like – you know – partisan.”
Jeff Nesbit, who served as a top SSA official under Republican and Democratic presidents, posted on X: “The agency has never issued such a blatant political statement. The fact that Trump and his minion running SSA has done this is unconscionable.”
The New Jersey representative Frank Pallone, the top Democrat on the House’s energy and commerce committee, wrote on X that “every word” of the SSA’s email on Thursday “is a lie”.
“This big, ugly bill doesn’t change that,” Pallone wrote. “It’s disturbing to see Trump hijack a public institution to push blatant misinformation.”
