Did you see Max’s recent email? It’s clear where the priorities of many House Republicans lie: Slashing the programs and services relied on by millions of older Americans and extending trillions of dollars in unpaid-for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and huge corporations. If these priorities do not align with yours, please sign our Emergency Petition TODAY! If you have already signed it: Thank you.

Dear John,
Once again, House Republicans are showing where their true priorities lie — and it’s not with seniors and your earned benefits.
The House Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole (OK-04) announced the GOP’s topline budget numbers for fiscal year 2025 — including at least a 10% cut in funding for Labor/HHS (Health & Human Services). That could mean agencies like the Social Security Administration (SSA) and Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) would endure a huge spending cut, while Republican appropriators propose to boost military spending by 1%.
As a reminder, U.S. Representative Tom Cole has also introduced legislation in Congress that would create a “fiscal commission” that would have the power to fast-track harmful benefit cuts through Congress.
Where is the morality in slashing funding for agencies that service our nation’s most vulnerable citizens? In addition to SSA and CMS funding, some Older Americans Act programs could be affected by a 10% reduction in Labor/HHS appropriations, including the popular Meals on Wheels program.
