Social Security Benefits to Be Confiscated for Nearly Half a Million People
Millions of Americans who rely on Social Security could see some of their monthly benefits seized, starting in June, if they have defaulted on their student loan debts.
Why It Matters
Roughly 2.9 million Americans aged 62 or older hold federal student loan debt, a number that has grown by more than 70 percent since 2017, according to the U.S. Department of Education. According to CNBC, more than 450,000 elderly borrowers are currently in default and potentially subject to benefit reductions.

Science Tells Us the U.S. Is Heading toward a Dictatorship
The red flags abound—political research tells us the U.S. is becoming an autocracy
The U.S. is in a bad place and, scholars warn, looks to be headed for worse.
Worse even than Trump’s relentless attacks on science have been his administration’s assaults on the law. His officials have illegally fired federal workers, impounded congressional appropriations and seized people off the street for deportations to foreign prisons, threatening the same for all U.S. citizens. “The depth and breadth of this administration’s disregard for civil liberties, political pluralism, the separation of powers and legal constraints of all kinds mark it as an authoritarian regime,” law professor David Pozen of the Columbia University School of Law told the New York Times in April.
We should all be worried that the U.S. is headed toward an autocracy—government by one person—even without political science offering a warning. But scholarship on how nations descend into this unfortunate state, seen in places like Turkey and Hungary, might not surprise you with what it suggests about the U.S.
