Social Security alert for you

🚨 THIS JUST IN: New House Speaker Mike Johnson wants to DESTROY Social Security as we know it! 🚨 House Republicans spent the past 22 days fighting amongst themselves over who the Speaker of the House should be – then they settled on Mike Johnson, one of the most extreme Republicans in the country! In his very first speech after being elected Speaker, Mike Johnson called for the immediate creation of a debt commission rumored to “be investigating” potential cuts to Medicare and Social Security! And this isn’t the first time Johnson has tried to dismantle these essential programs. As Chair of the Republican Study Committee, he released budgets with HUGE cuts to Social Security and Medicare and proposed efforts to move towards their privatization! We need to mobilize and show the GOP that we won’t stand idly by while they make MASSIVE cuts to this essential program! Please, before 11:59 p.m., tell us, team: Who do you trust to protect Social Security and Medicare? Democrats Republicans Despite the fact that 81% of Americans believe that Congress should NEVER cut Social Security and Medicare, Republican attempts to slash these programs are on the rise: Here’s a look at what’s happened so far → FIRST → The Biden administration announced a MASSIVE 8.7% INCREASE to Social Security payments! THEN → The GOP doubled down on their efforts to CUT Social Security benefits for MILLIONS of Americans, attempting to attach it to debt ceiling legislation. FORTUNATELY → President Biden has promised to defend Social Security and Medicare and VETO ANY cuts. BUT NOW → With Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House, cutting Social Security and Medicare is a MAJOR priority for House Republicans. This is an ongoing fight, and we can’t back down any time soon. With GOP attacks mounting, we need our most reliable Democratic supporters – including you, team – to weigh in now and share your input. Who do you trust to protect Social Security and Medicare? Democrats Republicans We’re relying on grassroots supporters to provide us with the urgent resources we need to win nationwide.
