Elon Musk, at the behest of President Trump, is now on the warpath against the working families of our country. Saving money by illegally and unconstitutionally dismantling the Dept. of Education so that the billionaire class can get bigger tax breaks is morally reprehensible.

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education. In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

It was an honor to join @POTUS at the White House as he signed the Social Security Fairness Act and restored benefits to millions of public servants—including 130,000 from Massachusetts. Congrats to the teachers, firefighters, police, and more who won these hard earned benefits.

I agree this is important! Many people work to get this done and we’re so grateful that they did. Now it’s your turn, sign the bill and take care of all the work workers who have earned their Social Security. 😃

This is Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC). He just voted against the Social Security Fairness Act, which would give hard-earned Social Security benefits to over 3 million retirees. He's up for re-election in 2026. RETWEET to let North Carolina that he voted against Social Security!

In exchange for giving public sector workers Social Security benefits, Rand Paul wants to raise the retirement age to 70 and limit benefits for children. We need a clean WEP/GPO repeal with NO benefit cuts! @RepSpanberger @SenSherrodBrown #WEP #GPO #SocialSecurity #Senate
