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.

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
