Watch this weird video!! Starts out with Rachel Maddow but at the 7 minute mark, it seems it's been hijacked by ???



A number of comments were made-- this one sums it up:

Who was the guy in the blue and yellow shirt what language was he speaking and what did it have to do with the topic.

Did anyone else receive a letter from SS about his/her account?

Mine requested I update/verify my information, which I did willingly.
It also provided an Account Activation Code

It asked me to finish setting up my online account or upgrade it
I went about setting up my online account again (which had already been created) just to ensure the info was correct

When I clicked on the various fields (e,g, what my SS# is) I saw that there were garbage characters

Same for my birth date
And some of the other fields (email, for instance)

I can't help thinking that this misinformation was perpetrated by THEM in order to confuse me.

What I just came upon re Social Security

Deliberately installed untested software. Panic ensues. 🤬

"New Social Security Rule STARTS April 14 - What YOU NEED TO DO!" -- what to make of it

Sometimes it's a bit difficult plowing through all the verbiage to get to the bottom line.
I have an unexpired U.S. Driver License. Do I need to be concerned about anything else?

Thank you!!

Is there any reason I'm unable to access my SS acct?

When I try, I get this:

Online Service Not Available
We're sorry, but the online service you requested isn't available right now. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I was given a gift subscription to YouTube...

and lately, when I log into my accoubt, I get all sorts of videos from sensational news organizations. Is there a way to block those? I thought it I accessed the three vertical dots, that it would give me the option of ignoring them, but it doesn't. There must be a way I can get rid of them. I hope.
Thanks in advance!
