James,
Trump and Musk are doubling down on their attacks on Social Security. Musk told Joe Rogan he thinks it’s “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time” while Trump used his speech to Congress to spread LIES that Social Security is overrun by fraud.
Bernie isn’t having it:

Social Security is an earned benefit we pay into our entire lives. 72 MILLION people rely on it to survive. And now the richest man in the world is coming after it, closing local offices and announcing "significant workforce reductions" that will cut 7,000 jobs!
A former Social Security head is sounding the alarm, warning we could see interruptions within 30-90 days. It’s a five alarm crisis and we need all hands on deck to stop it. Our Citizen Action Team is fighting back with everything we have — but for a threat this huge, we need our entire movement behind us.
Our Citizen Action Team is on the ground in Washington DC and in congressional districts across the country — jamming phone lines, organizing nationwide protests, and unleashing powerful lobbying pushes to Congress. Can you rush a donation to help us save Social Security?

It’s straight out of an authoritarian playbook. First Musk and Trump spread disinformation that the Social Security Administration is infested by widespread fraud. Then they’ll use that lie to justify slashing vital services that millions rely on to survive, while moving to privatize so that they (and the rest of the Oligarchs) can profit even more off the backs of all of us.
In 8 DECADES of sending monthly benefits, Social Security has never missed a payment. Yet after just a few weeks of Trump and Musk, experts are already warning of a looming “disaster.”

Meanwhile, Bernie just introduced a new bill to EXPAND Social Security benefits by $2,400 a year AND ensure the program has enough funding to operate for the next 75 years — all by just making the rich pay a bit more of their fair share of taxes. GOP Senators made their priorities clear by blocking the bill.
Bernie’s right: we need to be investing in Social Security, not slashing it. But if Musk isn’t stopped, seniors and disabled Americans will quickly pay the price as their benefits are interrupted, slashed, or ripped away.
We’re fighting back, training and mobilizing a rapid response team to pressure lawmakers to stand up to Trump and Musk and save Social Security. Will you rush a donation to help?
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
