Trump’s latest scheme to gut essential benefits like Social Security and Medicare is hiding behind the guise of "efficiency." The "Department of Government Efficiency," led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is a cover for a destructive agenda: slashing funding for programs millions of Americans rely on.
Vice President-elect JD Vance has confirmed their plan explicitly targets Social Security, with varying cuts across essential services.
The hypocrisy is staggering. Trump campaigned on protecting Social Security and Medicare, yet his administration is now crafting a commission to dismantle them. Their plan? Secure bipartisan buy-in to give their radical cuts credibility. This is an all-out attack on our social safety net.
Democrats have a moral duty to refuse participation. Without bipartisan cover, this commission loses its legitimacy and collapses under the weight of its cruelty.
It’s time to fight back. Congress must hear from you. Demand your representatives reject this commission and refuse to give bipartisan cover to Trump’s destructive agenda.
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid aren’t just programs, they’re promises. Promises to retirees who worked their entire lives. Promises to disabled individuals who deserve dignity. Promises to families who need support to stay afloat. Allowing this commission to proceed would betray those promises.
Musk and Ramaswamy’s focus on “efficiency” isn’t about trimming waste, it’s about slashing benefits, privatizing programs, and leaving the most vulnerable Americans to fend for themselves.
Let’s protect the programs that protect us. By standing together and demanding accountability, we can stop this reckless scheme in its tracks.
Tell your representatives: Don’t participate. Don’t give cover to Trump’s war on Social Security and Medicare.
Together, we will protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from Trump’s dangerous commission.
