Today marks the 89th birthday of the most popular and successful program in American history: Social Security. For nearly a century, Democrats have fought to protect and expand Social Security since FDR first signed it into law. It’s been a lifeline for millions of Americans. We all know someone benefiting from these programs.
However, despite claiming they support it, MAGA extremists have a new plan to cut benefits and raise the retirement age. They’ve said so themselves in their Project 2025 plan. It’s pretty scary stuff.
That’s why every single vote counts and every effort matters.
