We're fighting to address the retirement income crisis by protecting and expanding our Social Security system. stopthedemolition.org socialsecurityworks.org protectourchecks.com En Español: @segurosocial.bsky.social
People are DYING because Trump is making it impossible to get the Social Security disability benefits they’ve earned.
🚨🚨 EVERY SENATE REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR ROBOTS TO DENY YOUR HEALTHCARE 🚨🚨
Social Security is chronically understaffed. Public servants are massively overworked. Commissioner Frank Bisignano’s response? Sending them “thank you” pretzels from his daughter’s company. 🤡🤡🤡
"As House Democrats, we're going to make sure that we push back against MAGA extremists and they keep their hands off your Social Security and your Medicare." @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Trump’s Social Security sabotage has included: ❌ Laying off nearly thousands of experienced field office workers ❌ Allowing Elon Musk's DOGE to put our most sensitive data on an unsecured private server ❌ Issuing Social Security cards with political propaganda
“Let's ask ourselves a question: Why is it that members of Congress are not acting consistent with what their constituents would like?” – Rep. Delia Ramirez @ramirez.house.gov
“Most Americans know that after you work your entire life, you should be able to retire with dignity and security.” – Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov
A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Do you think it’s time to scrap the cap?
Here is how billionaires like Jeff Bezos scam the system and avoid paying their fair share into Social Security. Meanwhile, those of us who earn under $184,000 a year contribute on all of our income all year long! @sanders.senate.gov
Americans want health care, but Republicans in Congress would rather spend billions on militarized policing.
Republicans like Mike Lawler (NY-17) need to answer to the voters in their district– NOT the billionaires on Wall Street.
Social Security works because people believe it is neutral, safe, and focused on benefits—not a surveillance weapon for ICE to use against American citizens.
We refuse to die quietly so the greedy Epstein class can hoard more wealth. We will continue to raise our voices so that the most vulnerable among us get access to affordable health care.
Frank Bisignano was appointed the part-time Social Security Commissioner and IRS CEO by Donald Trump. Since then, he’s used this position to use our Social Security and tax system to serve Donald Trump’s crooked agenda―not the American people’s. @repgwenmoore.bsky.social
Protecting and expanding Social Security is not a question of affordability– it’s a question of values. We can deliver benefits through the rest of the century if the richest among us pay their fair share. @whitehouse.senate.gov
Billionaires LOVE that Social Security’s “ghost offices” are technically still “open” but lack the staff to actually function. Why? Because it’s a part of their scheme to wreck Social Security so they can rob us of our earned benefits!
Republicans want to slash benefits for the working class to give tax handouts to the richest people in history. Shame.
WATCH: Democratic Agricultural Secretary candidate Chris Jones is fighting for Iowans!
There are fewer than a thousand billionaires in America. And yet, they’re using their money to control the media, corrupt politicians, and dismantle our society so they can hoard even more wealth. Working-class solidarity is our best defense. @repsummerlee.bsky.social
"We can't just offer people not Trump or not David Valadao. We've got to offer people a vision for something more. Not only are we going to stop the attempts to privatize Social Security, but we're going to expand Social Security." - @villegas4congress.bsky.social
Valadao has sold out our communities at every turn...Nobody should have to fight cancer and their congressmen at the same time. - @villegas4congress.bsky.social
"I will be a proud co-sponsor of Medicare for All on day one because health care is a human right." - @villegas4congress.bsky.social
Rep. Valadao voted to cut Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires. Meanwhile, Valadao has a government-sponsored health care plan that we pay for as taxpayers. He needs to use that plan to schedule a physical — to look for the spine that he's been missing. - @villegas4congress.bsky.social
WATCH: We rallied outside Rep. David Valadao's office with @villegas4congress.bsky.social to mark the one year anniversary of the Big Ugly Bill. Valadao was the deciding vote for the bill, which is gutting Medicaid to give tax handouts to billionaires. 2/3rds of his district relies on Medicaid.
A year ago, [David Valadao] voted for the Big Ugly Bill that threatens to take Medicaid away from around 500,000 people in this district [CA-22], and there are only about 750,000 people in the district. It's a massive percentage of the district! @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social
"64% of the constituents in this district, CA-22, are on Medicaid. That is about half a million people. It is, in fact, the most people on Medicaid anywhere in a Republican district... everybody in this district needs their Medicaid and Valadeo doesn't care" @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social
Rob England: [Trump's Big Ugly Bill] passes sweeping cuts to the programs that Californians and people across this country rely on, and we cannot let those who vote for it go unpunished. Twice, Rep. Valadeo told us that he would vote no on this bill. Twice, he lied to us
There’s a good reason why Rep. John Larson is the top Social Security champion in the House. When billionaires try to sabotage the system or steal our earned benefits, Rep. Larson is a staunch defender of the working class! @johnlarsonct.bsky.social
