Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is co-chairing the Congressional committee tasked with making Elon Musk’s Social Security-cutting dreams come true―despite Donald Trump’s promises otherwise.
John,
I'm back on Capitol Hill today, asking members of Congress if they will pledge to protect Social Security and Medicare. I've got copies of Donald Trump's campaign mailers where he promised to protect them. The last time I tried to show Republicans what Trump had promised, this happened:
Now, we've got this video playing on the side of a truck in Rep. Greene's district, and we're driving it up to senior centers to urge seniors to call Marjorie Taylor Greene and demand she pledge to protect our earned benefits.
The richest man in the world has been handed extraordinary power by President-elect Donald Trump. And he is using that power to target Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is co-chairing the Congressional committee tasked with making Elon Musk’s Social Security-cutting dreams come true―despite Donald Trump’s promises otherwise.
You may remember, Social Security Works Executive Director Alex Lawson confronted Greene in the halls of Congress, showing her mailpieces from the Trump campaign with clear promises to protect Social Security and Medicare. Greene threw the ads in the air and called it “bullshit.”1
We didn’t actually expect Trump to keep his campaign promises―after all, Trump promised not to cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid when he ran in 2016, and then went ahead and put cuts to all 3 in every single budget he released as president.
But the speed by which Musk’s ‘DOGE’ committee has abandoned those promises surprised even us. Trump hasn’t even been sworn in, and co-chairs are already outlining plans to unilaterally withhold Social Security payments from seniors and people with disabilities who they deem undeserving.2
