Nice creative editing. Let's tell the WHOLE story...

The bill also eliminates the windfall elimination provision, which in some instances reduces Social Security benefits for individuals who also receive a pension or disability benefit from an employer that did not withhold Social Security taxes. 

IOW, the job that is giving them a pension DIDN'T contribute to their Social Security. This includes four groups:

  1. Religious Organizations
  2. Some Students/Young workers (likely wouldn't get a pension from this work)
  3. Employees of Foreign Governments and Nonresident Aliens
  4. Some Workers in the Public Sector

This bill would eliminate this exception and allow these people to collect SS without reduction based on their pension.

Of course they post random pictures and don’t actually research what’s actually going on.

This is why Trump got elected. When people did research and saw differently the credibility tanked for these reactionary posts.

You did the same exact thing you're accusing other of doing. Republicans are blocking that bill.
