Anybody else get this email (last week) from the Department of Social Security?

'The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.

The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy.

“This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned."

The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples. Additionally, it provides an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned.

Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public and will continue working closely with federal partners to ensure beneficiaries understand how this legislation may affect them.'
 
“I must admit, there’s a part of Trump that’s kind of impressive.
He convinced the party of Reagan to advocate for tariffs and market intervention.
He convinced the party of law and order to celebrate the first convicted felon President, and the pardoning of violent insurrectionists.
He convinced the party of family values that it didn’t matter if he cheated on his pregnant wife with a pornstar.
He convinced millions of women to vote for him even when they’ve heard him brag about sexually assaulting them.
He’s convinced Epstein conspiracy theorists to somehow accuse anybody but him, despite mounting circumstantial evidence of his complicity.
He’s convinced evangelical Christians to vote in the least religious President in US history.
…and now he’s convinced isolationists, who called Obama a “neocon” and cheered the “end of foreign wars”, to now openly support yet another foreign war.
But he’s not a salesman. A salesman actually gives you what he’s selling. Trump is conman, someone who promises big but never comes through with the goods.
What has Trump promised that he’s actually delivered?
Did he build the wall? And did Mexico pay for it? Did he lock her up? Did he enact a “Muslim Ban”? Did he repeal Obamacare? Did he eliminate national debt? Or add to it? Did he end the war in Ukraine or Gaza? Did he decrease the cost of groceries? Did he keep the US out of foreign wars?
Did he make America great again?
…or a global pariah?
I’ve done a lot of fraud investigations in my time, and there’s almost always a devastating moment when someone realises with horror they’ve been conned. But there’s also always a few that just don’t want to believe it… no matter how much evidence you show them.
…and the conman usually just continues to con them, until they’ve fleeced them of everything that they’ve got.”
