The Trump Administration was working behind the scenes to kick thousands of older workers with disabilities off Social Security. We fought back and they backed off.

This is why we fight to protect Social Security.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS JUST APPROVED THE LARGEST HEALTH CARE CUT IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

[Ways and Means Democrats @WaysMeansCmte]

Leader @RepJeffries just stopped by our markup to keep the heat on the GOP’s tax scam:

[House Democrats @HouseDemocrats]

In today’s Democratic Daily Download, @HouseDPCC Chair @RepDebDingell explains how Trump, Musk and Republicans are breaking Social Security and what Democrats are doing to protect Americans’ earned benefits.

[Ways and Means Democrats @WaysMeansCmte]

There’s a big difference between showing and telling.

And Musk has already shown us exactly what he’s doing with Social Security.

[Ways and Means Democrats @WaysMeansCmte]

Is that because her son-in-law is a billionaire or?

[Ways and Means Democrats @WaysMeansCmte]

This is why the co-equal branches of government matter.

House Republicans need to wake up and start standing up for their constituents: their Social Security is not for sale.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and Donald Trump called it a scam. Make no mistake - they want to slash & privatize Americans' benefits.

My resolution compels them to provide answers, but Republicans are trying to stop it from even coming to a vote in the House.

[Ways and Means Democrats @WaysMeansCmte]

Republicans' Plan for Social Security:
🔴 Layoff SSA staff
🔴 Leave you on hold
🔴 Tell you Social Security isn't working
🔴 Take their "savings" to fund tax handouts to billionaires

Ranking Member @RepRichardNeal and former Social Security Commissioner @MartinOMalley tell us what's at stake for Social Security:

[Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless @WashLegalClinic]

Just days ago we shared our hope that the dehumanizing narrative about people without homes would be the "wake-up call our local elected leaders need to realize that forcibly displacing unhoused persons does not reflect D.C. values." #HousingIsJustice

Not a dime!

[Ways and Means Democrats @WaysMeansCmte]

The richest man in the world can’t fathom what it means to work your whole life, and have your dignity called a “Ponzi scheme.”

It’s unbelievable, and offensive to our nation’s workers.

[Ways and Means Democrats @WaysMeansCmte]

🚨LIVE NOW!

Ranking Member @RepRichardNeal and Social Security RM @RepJohnLarson are speaking out against the GOP's lies and sharing our legislative response.

We will protect and defend Social Security for decades to come!

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

LIVE NOW: Join my @WaysMeansCmte colleagues and me as we introduce bills to protect Social Security from Trump-Musk's attacks.

Our plan will keep field offices open, protect beneficiary data privacy, and force 'DOGE' to come clean about their cuts. https://t.co/LMDV9YTrrs

[Ways and Means Democrats @WaysMeansCmte]

BACK DOOR CUT ALERT!!

When seniors can't get their questions answered because Republicans have privatized customer service, it'll affect their earned benefits and that's a cut.

This is not the will of the people. Hands off Social Security!!

[Katherine Clark @WhipKClark]

Trump isn't hiding it anymore:

He fired half the Social Security Administration workforce.

Now, Musk is calling your benefits a "scheme."

Republicans are ready to take a chainsaw to the retirement security you've earned.

[Rep. John Larson @RepJohnLarson]

Trump-Musk’s plan to gut the Social Security Administration was unearthed yesterday, and now they’re taking the first steps.

This has nothing to do with making government more efficient. It’s a back-door cut to your earned benefits.

[ProPublica @propublica]

Many recipients of Social Security benefits told ProPublica that the distance to their closest SSA office is already long, and that wait times to get a representative on the phone or a claim or an appeal processed can range from hours to years. https://t.co/VigDvSSE3n
