John,

Republicans aren’t waiting to elect a new Speaker of the House in order to attack Social Security. They’re moving ahead with plans right now to create what the White House called a “death panel for Medicare and Social Security.”

Rep. Jodey Arrington is the chair of the House Budget Committee and author of a plan to slash nearly $2 trillion from Medicaid and create a closed-door panel to destroy Social Security and Medicare. He calls it a “fiscal commission.” The White House calls it a death panel.

The best time to stop a fiscal commission is before it’s been convened. Can you pitch in $7 to defeat the Republican death panel for Social Security?

John,

The House of Representatives is in chaos.

It has been more than a week since MAGA Republicans ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and they have been unable to unite behind an alternative, leaving the House without a Speaker.

While rival factions jockey for position, one theme is emerging. The Hill reports:¹

From the Republican Study Committee’s pitch to raise the retirement age[2] to 69 to their FY 2024 budget, which cuts nearly $2 trillion from Medicaid and convenes a closed-door commission to destroy Social Security and Medicare,[3] the White House is right: Republicans have declared war on seniors.

Every time Wall Street-funded politicians come for our earned benefits, Social Security Works successfully fights back. But we can’t get complacent―they will not stop coming. Donate $7 to protect our Social Security system from Republican attacks!
