John,

We need Dr. Fauci.

Over the weekend, anonymous Trump staffers activated a smear campaign in the press about Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

With new COVID cases breaking records every day, why is the President sidelining Dr. Fauci and elevating his son-in-law? Our pandemic response must be led by experts, like Fauci, not wealthy political hacks who think they’re experts, like Jared Kushner.

The Trump administration is treating the COVID crisis as a PR problem instead of what it is―a public health crisis that has taken the lives of more than 135,000 Americans.

Nearly 50,000 nursing home residents have died. And Republicans are focused not on stopping the virus, but on exploiting the crisis to destroy Social Security (including not addressing a glitch that would result in four million people receiving lower Social Security benefits).

Instead of taking steps to get the pandemic under control, as the rest of the world did, Trump is still treating this as a PR crisis for his re-election.

At Social Security Works, we’re dedicated to protecting older Americans from the GOP war on seniors. That means listening to science, mandating masks, expanding Social Security and putting aid where the need is greatest. Chip in $7 to keep the COVID response focused on fighting the virus!

With new cases on pace to hit Dr. Fauci’s prediction of 100,000 per day by the end of the month, Trump’s White House team is laying out their priorities for the next economic relief package. They’re still pushing to defund Social Security, and to let emergency unemployment expansion expire for millions of people, while cutting taxes for stock market speculators.¹

This has Jared Kushner’s fingerprints all over it.

FIGHT BACK against the GOP war on seniors! Chip in $7 to Social Security Works today to fight for a COVID response that puts science FIRST!

Thanks,
