John,
When Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz admits that he and his colleagues are holding a hostage, it’s important to ask: Who is the hostage?
Is it the million people who will lose their jobs in the first week of default?
Is it 65 million seniors who could miss their Social Security checks for the first time in history?
Is it veterans who rely on care from the VA?
Is it you?

John,
Since the United States hit the debt ceiling in January, the dynamic between House Republicans and the rest of the government has been clear: It’s a hostage crisis.
Republicans are threatening economic default―a million jobs lost in the first week, payments stopped on Social Security checks, Veterans’ benefits, Medicare payments to doctors, and more―if Joe Biden doesn’t cave to their demands to slash spending on Social Security offices and Meals on Wheels, among other things, while preserving tax cuts for the ultra-rich.
Social Security Works has been calling this a hostage crisis from day 1. Now, in a rare moment of bipartisan agreement, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz has agreed. He told Semafor’s Joseph Zeballos-Roig1 that his conservative colleagues “don’t feel like we should negotiate with our hostage.”
The economic terrorism practiced by the MAGA House of Representatives must be defeated. Social Security Works is mobilizing to help President Biden prevent default without making catastrophic cuts to programs that seniors rely on! Can you donate to protect seniors?
Thank you,
Alex Lawson
