Major Jason Watson is NOT a Democrat.
His protest was NOT about party politics.
It was about what he believes his oath requires of him—and the price he’s willing to pay for speaking out.
Everyone has seen the arrest.
Now hear the courageous powerful speech that came first:
Trump says, "I don't think about Americans' financial situation" and "I love the inflation."
Mike Johnson says Republicans "have a plan" to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
The politicians running the show in DC are openly admitting how much they're selling us out.
A new report says Social Security is headed for drastic cuts by 2032. Not on my watch.
People in my district worked their whole lives and are counting on every dollar of Social Security they earned.
We cannot stop fighting to protect the livelihoods of working Americans as they age.
💯 @RepJohnLarson nails it: Social Security helps not only Americans retire with dignity, but communities prosper. If we can protect and enhance Social Security, EVERYONE benefits.
Mike Johnson calls Social Security an “entitlement” and says he has a plan for it to be “adjusted and fixed.”
Social Security is an earned benefit – not an entitlement – and as we’ve warned repeatedly, it’s about to hit a cliff, now in 2032. In Connecticut, that would mean an average loss of $556/month in benefits.
The way to prevent this is by making the rich pay their fair share in payroll tax – the same as middle and working-class Americans.
Tens of millions of Americans on Social Security rely on it to survive.
Trump and the Republicans want to slash their support so billionaires can get more tax cuts. That's criminal!
Let's enhance Social Security by making the wealthy pay their fair share. We have a plan!

Instead of working with Democrats to strengthen Social Security, Trump and DOGE continue their efforts to dismantle and privatize this vital program in order to give tax breaks to the wealthy.
Congress must act now to protect Americans' hard-earned benefits and ensure they can retire with dignity.

Yesterday’s Social Security Trustees Report confirmed that millions of retirees are facing a twenty to twenty-five percent cut in benefits which can throw them into poverty and put a greater strain on their families.
Congress must step up now to protect Social Security before it’s too late. It’s only going to cost more and be more difficult to solve the longer we wait.
Dear DNC and every Democrat running in November,
Here is your campaign.
Start running it now on every TV station especially Fox News, every radio station, streaming platform, in programmatic, on billboards and bring it up in every press interview.
They're letting Social Security fail because they refuse to scrap the cap and make the super-wealthy pay their fair share.
Letting Social Security become insolvent is a choice.
We’re in a constitutional crisis. 'DOGE' cut staff at Social Security & stole your personal data. Trump officials are out to privatize your benefits. Speaker Johnson wants to raise the retirement age. Automatic benefit cuts are closer than ever, and Republicans are doing nothing.
Republicans just handed ICE & CBP a $70 BILLION check to continue ripping families apart & terrorizing immigrant communities.
At the same time, they're taking health care away from millions of Americans & cutting food assistance for hungry families. This is what Trump and Republicans want— not lower costs for us. Never forget that.
