Social Security CAN'T CONTRIBUTE A SINGLE PENNY TO THE DEBT.
But Republicans are trying to create a closed door commission to cut our hard-earned benefits.
Instead, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES!
REMINDER: Trump’s Big Ugly Bill kicked tens of millions of people off their healthcare and is forcing hospitals around the country to close their doors.

Seniors earned every penny of their Social Security. They paid into it with every paycheck. It is not a slush fund for Washington politicians to cut or delay.

Republicans think the only way to save Social Security is to cut benefits—they just talk in euphemisms.
Democrats have better solutions, like finally scrapping the cap and making billionaires pay their fair share.

Ken Paxton has said Social Security should be privatized and joked that beneficiaries will have to “suck it up” and accept the cut.
@JamesTalarico will defend Social Security and increase benefits by making the wealthiest Americans to pay the same tax rate the rest of us do.

Another blatant abuse of Social Security data to promote political messages for Donald Trump — hundreds of millions of voter contact emails promoting Trump propaganda.
And all paid for by the Social Security Trust fund.
Mike Rogers is running for Senate in Michigan.
Mike owns two yachts — and he wants to cut YOUR hard earned Social Security benefits.
HANDS OFF!

@SamForstag goes on offense on Social Security at our press conference this morning!!!
ONLY Sam has a plan to
protect & expand the program, so his privatizer opponent Aaron Flint, should never bring it up!

A campaign is only as good as its activists. Wow, did they turn out on the courthouse steps in Missoula for @SamForstag!!! Here we all are getting ready for our press conference to begin. Every senior issues advocacy org that endorses endorsed Sam, including my @SSW PAC!!!
Members elected this November will likely decide if seniors get screwed, or billionaires pay their fair share.
Montana’s own Sam Forstag has made a clear no-cuts pledge.
AARON FLINT WILL NOT MAKE THAT SAME PLEDGE.
Who do you trust to vote on Social Security’s future?
ALT A graphic with a photo of Sam Forstag (D) with a green check mark and Aaron Flint (R) with a red X. The text says, "SAM FORSTAG HAS MADE AN EXPLICIT NO-CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY PLEDGE. AARON FLINT WILL NOT MAKE THAT SAME PLEDGE. HE SAYS HE WILL 'PROTECT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE.' A CLEAR COMMITMENT TO BENEFITS BEATS VAGUE TAX-CUT TALKING POINTS."
Trump's Social Security commissioner just sent out another propaganda email, only weeks before the election.
Blatant corruption.
Abdul El-Sayed wants to protect and expand Social Security by making billionaires pay their fair share.
Mike Rogers wants to cut and privatize Social Security to enrich his billionaire donors.

Juan Ciscomani says he'll protect your earned benefits.
But in 2024, he voted to cut $453 MILLION from the SSA.
JoAnna Mendoza won't cut Social Security. In fact, she promises to protect your checks by making sure the wealthy pay their fair share.
@Mendoza4AZ
The Senators we elect this year will serve six-year terms and likely vote on Social Security’s future.
Voters need to know where they stand.
Will they protect the trust fund by making millionaires & billionaires pay their fair share, or will they allow for an automatic 22% cut?

🚨 Mike Rogers, Senate candidate from Michigan, compares cutting Social Security to making an adjustment with a screwdriver, like a leaky faucet.
That's just not true, Mike. For most seniors, Social Security is a lifeline - and it's money we earned. #HandsOff

Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are earned and paid into with every single paycheck. We owe it to every working family to stand up and protect them.

I’m emceeing the press conference in Missoula this morning to call out Aaron Flint for having the unmitigated gall to attack @SamForstag on Social Security. Talk about desperation!
Sam is endorsed by EVERY major senior issues org that endorses candidates,& we’ll all be there!
“No tax on overtime, no tax on tips, NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY” – Sam Forstag, Democratic Candidate for Montana’s 1st Congressional District
