Elon Musk, who funds the GOP, has called Social Security a "Ponzi Scheme."
Now, after passing the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, Speaker Johnson is targeting Social Security & Medicare.
All after blowing up the debt to give billionaires tax breaks they don't need.

Let's be clear about what happened: DOGE cut the programs and staff that tracked dangerous outbreaks like screwworm.
So this has nothing to do with Joe Biden, but Trump and DOGE definitely screwed our cattle industry.
I told Marco Rubio, to his face, what a dangerous failure his leadership has been: Trump has waged a reckless war and eviscerated American leadership around the world.
Oh, but don’t worry—Trump’s face will be on U.S. passports.
It's a disgrace.
Senate Democrats forced votes to BAN any kind of slush fund to pay off violent insurrectionists. Republicans killed those efforts out of fealty to Trump.
Now, Trump is doubling down on giving YOUR tax dollars to convicted cop beaters.
He went from orange to red.
While the President's tantrums are absurd, his delusions of voter fraud are dangerous.
The President is an unhinged disgrace, and the American people deserve a Congress that will stand up to Trump's lies, not enable them.
Participating in a violent insurrection should be a good enough reason for any job not to hire someone.
Yet, under Trump, you can be rewarded with a job at the Pentagon.
This is a CLEAR threat to our national security—and this appointment should not even be REMOTELY acceptable.
The right to birth control shouldn’t be up for debate; we have to keep fighting for it.
Trump's efforts to try to ban vote by mail are all part of his scheme to undermine our free and fair elections–and it’s going to take all of We the People to make sure he never succeeds.
Abortion bans are putting women's lives in danger, and it's not by accident.
This is a situation Republicans explicitly manufactured simply because they believe they should decide what a woman does with her body, no matter the consequences.
We've got to keep fighting back.
Senate Republicans are blindly confirming unqualified, MAGA loyalists to lifetime appointments on our federal bench and hoping you won't notice.
The only way we can stop this partisan takeover of our courts is with a Democratic Senate majority.
The Trump administration is politicizing federal funding in a truly obscene and unforgivable way & robbing communities of funding they're owed.
Republicans should work with Democrats to stop this plan in its tracks.
Mifepristone is SAFE and EFFECTIVE—and one of the most studied medications we have.
FDA opening a new study has nothing to do with science and everything to do with advancing the anti-abortion movement's agenda to control women's bodies and lives.
Trump's DHS thinks it can avoid answering for the inhumane conditions and rising death toll of its detainees by no longer tracking it.
Absolutely not.
DHS has something to hide and Members of Congress must fight for transparency & accountability.
Federal agents killed two American citizens in Minneapolis. Tear-gassed and brutalized families. Detained thousands of children and pregnant women.
How do Republicans respond? At nearly 5AM they passed $70 billion more for ICE, no questions. No reforms. No accountability.
Instead of doing ANYTHING to help families afford the health care or groceries, Republicans forced a marathon voting session to send ICE a $70 billion check.
No reforms, zero accountability, and they rolled over for Trump—again.
Make sure everyone knows it.
It’s past 4 AM and the Senate is still voting. Why?
Because Republicans want to cut ICE another $70 billion check.
They found money for Stephen Miller, but there’s nothing to make health care more affordable.
It’s past midnight and Republicans are fighting to pass $70 billion for ICE—but they can't find a single cent to make health care more affordable.
All while Trump's war and tariffs send prices surging.
That's the Republican agenda: Drive costs higher. Do nothing for families.
In case you didn't know, Republicans have put the entire Senate floor on hold so they can jam through a $70 BILLION check for ICE.
After all the brutality we've seen, this is how they respond: A blank check and an absolute refusal of commonsense reforms.
I'm voting NO.
Republicans should work with Democrats to ban Trump's criminal slush fund. In law. Today.
Why won't they? Because the President has explicitly said he LOVES it—and Republicans are more than willing to cut checks to violent insurrectionists with YOUR tax dollars.
Back in March, Rubio said this war would end in "weeks, not months."
Yet, here we are, 4 months later.
Hundreds of troops injured or killed. Billions of dollars set on fire for a war Americans do NOT support.
