Friend,

President Biden was elected to turn the page on the Trump era and make our government work for the people rather than just the wealthy few.

But, this week, there’s new reporting that Donald Trump’s Social Security Administration Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner are behind delays in $1,400 survival checks being mailed to seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities.¹

Nearly 30 million people haven’t received their survival checks because Trump’s appointees at the SSA haven’t provided payment information to the IRS.²

And that’s not all!

Over the weekend, we also learned that these same Trump appointees are actively working to deny Social Security benefits to people with disabilities.

These Trumpists are attempting to destroy Social Security from within the government. President Biden must fire them immediately.

Donate today to fight back against these attacks on our survival checks and on our Social Security benefits, and demand President Biden fire Trump’s Social Security commissioner and deputy commissioner.

Thank you for working by my side to ensure our government works for everyone, not just the wealthy and powerful.

Friend,

Have you received your $1,400 survival check? If not, it could be because Donald Trump’s appointees in the Social Security Administration are holding it up.

A new report indicates that the survival checks of many people receiving Social Security, veterans’ benefits, and disability benefits have not yet arrived. And the delay seems to be directly tied to Donald Trump’s Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA).¹

We’re demanding that President Biden immediately fire Trump appointees to the Social Security Administration who are holding up our survival checks and attacking Social Security from within the government itself. Donate today to demand action from the new administration.

Sadly, these aren’t the only reasons to fire Trump’s SSA Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner.

Over the weekend, thanks to an SSA whistleblower, news broke that Trump’s Social Security appointees have been applying pressure to SSA judges to wrongfully deny people with disabilities their earned Social Security benefits.²

And, late last month, it was reported that Trump’s Social Security Commissioner hadn’t even shown up for work (in-person or virtually) since at least November.³

That's outrageous, especially considering how vital Social Security is for all of us.

We demand that our Social Security system be run by professionals who actually believe in the future of Social Security―not Trump appointees who are sabotaging Social Security from within the administration overseeing it.

Donate today to help protect the future of Social Security and demand President Biden immediately fire Donald Trump’s SSA Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:

Just like with the Postal Service, Trump appointees at the Social Security Administration are attempting to undermine and destroy these critical services from within our government. But it's our government, and we've got to make sure it works for us.

Thank you for fighting back,

Rashida
