John,
Big news: Senator Bob Casey, chairman of the Senate Aging Committee, has joined our call for the removal of Social Security Administration Commissioner Andrew Saul and Deputy Commissioner David Black.
Sen. Casey said:1
“Commissioner Saul and Deputy Commissioner Black were given an opportunity to strengthen Social Security, but they have instead focused their tenures on making it harder for Americans to receive essential benefits and on antagonizing the critical workforce they oversee. Commissioner Saul and Deputy Commissioner Black should step down and make room for new leadership who will be the careful stewards of Social Security Americans deserve.”
Momentum is building. The Congressional Chairs with the closest eyes on Social Security―the House and Senate subcommittees on Social Security, and the Senate Aging Committee―have now recognized that the stench coming from Trump’s leftover appointees at the Social Security Administration can’t be ignored. They must be removed.
Seniors deserve better than Andrew Saul and David Black! We’re putting pressure on President Biden to make sure they get it. Chip in $7 today to remove the Trumpists from SSA!
Saul and Black want to dismantle our Social Security system out of an ideological drive. Goings on at the Social Security Administration are often a low priority for Democrats in the White House―President Obama kept George W. Bush’s SSA commissioner through his entire first term. Congress never confirmed a successor, leaving a vacancy for Trump to fill. President Biden must not make the same mistake.
These calls aren’t going away―in the last few weeks, we’ve collected more than 135,000 signatures calling for Biden to #FireSaulAndBlack.2
Saul and Black have sabotaged the rollout of survival checks to seniors, put illegitimate pressure on judges to wrongfully deny disability claims, and engaged in union busting. There’s absolutely no reason to allow them to keep their jobs.
Chip in today to save Social Security from these Trump appointees!
Thanks,
