We heard Donald Trump say repeatedly on the campaign trail that he wouldn't "cut one cent" of Social Security benefits.
We also heard Elon Musk – the richest man on earth and Trump's unelected co-president – say that he and DOGE would only eliminate "waste and fraud in entitlement spending," but since has called Social Security "the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time" and slandered the Americans who rely on it as 'parasites.'
But let's be clear: the work of DOGE is already cutting Social Security benefits. Wait times for appointments are skyrocketing, staff are being pushed out at an all-time staffing low, and the website is crashing more and more frequently – and all of this is making it harder for Americans to get their benefits. And that alone is a benefit cut.
That's Trump and Elon's ultimate goal here – cut YOUR benefits, all to make room for more tax cuts for billionaires.
Elon and DOGE have no business messing with Social Security – which is why I'm calling on them to get their hands off the hard-earned benefits people have paid into their entire careers.
Friend, I am using every tool I can to protect Social Security – but to keep up the fight against these billionaire bullies hell-bent on cutting your benefits, I need your help ahead of my end-of-month deadline Wednesday at midnight.
