Fair enough, but when their analysis comes out, just remember that AARP has a point of view that supercedes true advocacy of us as seniors: their true loyalty is and has always been to the Democrat Party and left wing ideology.

Thank you for sharing!
One of the Ten Commandments: Honor thy father and mother!!! Which includes anyone older than you. It may be my imagination, but the latest generations are not doing their honoring, regrettably. Meaning to me, old people must demand respect from the younger generations. Or, walk away from the younger generations when not practicing the 10 commandments. Which also to me means the oldest generations stay a voting block that says no to all pagan ways. So the real question is, will the older generations get the honor they have earned and deserve? So far, the US Supreme Court has done a good job of reading the older generations thinking.

Exactly. We seem to have lost our compassion for so many. forsaking it for the billionaires and corps that could care less about us. Look at our kids in gun-ridden schools. As for seniors, the money in those funds was given by citizens and its been used as a slush fund for pet projects and more. This Court seems to be inclined toward the wealthy and courts - which makes me wonder if they will respect citizens over time. The first to pay will be minorities, seniors and our kids. I don't see a way out of it unless we have a serious revolt - or we actually make to to 2026 to elect legislators that can update the broken laws. Thing is, current supposed legislators need to GO AWAY. The corruption on both sides is simply jaw dropping.
Thank you for highlighting this demographic. Regardless of your political affiliation.....you will age one day
AARP donated $140.89k to Democrats and $4.86k to Republicans in 2024. In 2020, AARP donated $237.01k to Dems, $29.84k to Rep.
I think it will be interesting to see what developments unfold.

2wThe Supreme Court’s rulings this term could set the direction for how society values and protects older adults in the decades ahead. Questions of health care access, disability rights, and retirement protections aren’t abstract legal debates — they are lifelines that determine whether millions can age with dignity, stability, and independence. For those with low incomes, the impact is even more profound, as court decisions may decide whether essential support systems remain accessible or grow more restrictive. The true measure of these cases will be whether justice extends beyond technical arguments to uphold the principles of fairness, compassion, and security for those who have spent a lifetime contributing to society. In shaping the legal landscape, the Court also shapes our collective moral stance: whether aging is treated as a societal responsibility to honor and protect, or merely a personal struggle to endure.
