From a Social Security press release:
Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano today visited a Social Security field office in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn joined by Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11). They met with local staff and highlighted historic tax relief measures benefitting seniors and working families across the borough.
Before touring the field office, Commissioner Bisignano and Congresswoman Malliotakis held a press conference to discuss the historic tax relief enacted through President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts Act last year, including the enhanced tax deduction for older Americans, ensuring that most retirees are keeping more of their hard-earned benefits. …
I suppose it goes without saying that no prior Social Security Commissioner would have engaged in such open campaigning for a President’s domestic policy achievement, if this is an achievement.

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R NY-11) is looking at a blue wave and is swimming upstream. Malliotakis is an Election Denier and this administration is trying to help her out with or without the Hatch Act.
Notice the name change from the Big Beautiful Bill to the Working Families Tax Cuts Act that favored the rich. Ms. Malliotakis will soon be seeking a new line of work in January 2027.
When is Frank Bisignano going to hold a press conference with a Democrat … try never!
Democrats don’t typically like to appear at press conferences with people like Frank who proudly support fascists and racists.
The $6k exemption for those over 65 helped me and my wife. Not rich at all. Retired CR.
I have no idea if it benefits the rich but it certainly did a middle class geezer.
Attention Geezer.. the exception you mentioned is temporary.
Over the next decade, the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) will cut taxes for the richest 10 percent of Americans by more than $14,700 per year per household and cut taxes for the richest 1 percent of Americans by more than $50,000 per year, according to estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT). Despite this, there has been comparatively little coverage of the specific mechanisms by which the BBB funnels money to the ultrarich. Meanwhile, tiny tax cuts for the working class have received disproportionate media attention, even as the BBB will reduce the incomes of the poorest Americans.
Next they should visit the Brooklyn hearing office...Oh wait, Brooklyn, a borough with more people than the city of Chicago, doesn't have a hearing office....
