John,

Late last night, McCarthy’s gambit worked: By pledging to hold the debt limit hostage, and giving the very members who blocked the House from convening this week veto power over all legislation, Kevin McCarthy finally got enough votes to hold the Speaker’s gavel.

The very same Republican terrorists who turned the House of Representatives into the Chaos Caucus this week are prepared to plunge America into an economic crisis unless Democrats agree to their demands to cut Social Security and Medicare.

This is the clearest, most concrete threat to our Social Security system in over a decade. Can you rush a donation to make sure that President Biden stands up to Republicans and saves Social Security?

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

As a reminder: Before the election, many Republicans (including McCarthy) discussed their hopes to force President Biden to accept cuts to Social Security and Medicare in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.

Again, the debt ceiling does NOT authorize any new spending, and Social Security cannot add a single penny to the federal debt. This is legislative terrorism, pure and simple. We cannot give in. We can stand just as strong as the MAGA extremists in the House, because we have you on our side.

Thanks,

Michael Phelan
