Strap in because Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) just dropped what might be the most hilariously tone-deaf tweet of the week—and that’s saying something in the wild world of Democrats.
In what appears to be a desperate attempt to rally the troops against, well, anyone who dares question the sacred cow that is Social Security, Duckworth wrote a pretty ridiculous post telling people HANDS OFF … their own money? What?
If it’s our money, then give it BACK. Of course, that’s not what she meant; she meant it’s THEIR money. As in, the money the government forcibly takes from your paycheck every month, dumps into a ‘trust fund’ that’s been raided like a Vegas buffet by politicians for decades?
Here’s the tweet in all its glory:
Social Security is YOUR money. Hands off.
— Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) August 14, 2025
Woof, Tammy.
Yeah, this didn’t go so hot for Tammy:
Send me a check then. I’d like to withdraw all of mine.
— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) August 15, 2025
See?
No, it’s not our money.
It’s a tax that is collected from workers and then handed out to those receiving benefits.
Stop lying about what Social Security is simply because you think your voters are retarded.

Well, considering they vote for her, they could be.
Hands off… My money? You’re an idiot.
— Tony Kinnett (@TheTonus) August 15, 2025
Exactly.
Then cut me a check Tammy
I’m happy to invest it myself.

Americans definitely know better when it comes to most things, including how to spend OUR money.
Why do you want Social Security to go insolvent?? It’s people like you who endanger the financial security of retirees by refusing to deal with the very real problems with the program.

Mine? I have questions:
1) Why has congress spent much of it on things that it wasn’t designated for?
2) Why are you wilfully giving it to illegal aliens?
3) Why do you use it as collateral when you sell Treasury bonds?
4) Why did my mother work 40 years and only get $800/month?— Matthew S Harrison (@MatthewSHarriso) August 15, 2025
All good points.
So are the taxes I pay.

Damn right.
Give it all back, Tammy.
If Social Security is really ‘OUR money,’ then why does it feel more like a Ponzi scheme run by the same clowns who can’t balance a checkbook?
