โAmericans anxious about the future of Social Security are claiming their benefits earlier than planned, even though it can mean less income over the rest of their lives.
@RonFilipkowski 2).
The Social Security Administration has been shedding staff and changing requirements for claiming benefits over the phone. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump has been pushing to cut government spending, though he has vowed not to reduce benefits.โ

โ @POTUS @realDonaldTrump signed an executive order on Monday that requires commercial truck drivers in the United States to be proficient in English [1].โ
@RonFilipkowski @POTUS @realDonaldTrump 2).

โIn the final minutes of the showโs Sunday evening broadcast, longtime correspondent Scott Pelley informed viewers that Bill Owens, the showโs executive producer since 2019, resigned last week, citing editorial interference by @CBSNews's parent company, Paramount.

โ ยปStories weโve pursued for 57 years are often controversial โ lately, the Israel-Gaza war and the Trump administration. Bill made sure they were accurate and fair โ he was tough that wayยซ โ Pelley said. โ ยปBut our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete a merger.
@RonFilipkowski @CBSNews 3).
The @realDonaldTrump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways. None of our stories has been blocked, but Bill felt he lost the independence that honest journalism requires.
