I am all for shaking things up to deliver for the American people. To lower costs and protect our economic and national security. But there is a difference between responsible and reckless. What we are seeing from Elon Musk and DOGE is just reckless.
Elon Musk calls Americans who rely on federal benefits "PARASITES" and Social Security a "Ponzi scheme."
But right now, if you make around $160,000 a year, you pay the SAME amount into Social Security each year as a billionaire like Elon.
Trump is LYING about Social Security right now. Elon Musk called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme."
They are cutting staff drastically at Social Security to make it harder for seniors to get their benefits.
These corrupt billionaires need to keep their HANDS OFF Social Security!
Liz Cheney: "Trump is not an acceptable alternative. He is not the lesser of two evils. He is a completely unfit man for office. He's already shown us what he would do, and he can never be near the Oval Office again."
This group of Americans embodies the best of us – their heroism before, during, and after January 6th, 2021 gave us hope amid an assault on our democracy.
For that I'll always be thankful.
I'm honored to officially become the President Pro Tempore of the Senate today. It's not lost on me the significance of what it means to be the first woman to serve in this role. This is another sign that slowly but surely, Congress is looking more like America.
