“What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?"
That's a real question from Frank Bisignano...the commissioner of Social Security.
Millions of Americans depend on Social Security. They should be able to trust that the head of the agency even knows what the job is.

Overnight, House Republicans passed a budget that would give huge tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy at the expense of everyone else.
Now, it's on to the Senate.
Call your senators and demand they do everything in their power to stop this theft: 202-224-3121

While I feel very jaded by the Democratic betrayals that have been a habitual capitulation to the Right, I feel compelled to still push for us all to vote in new leadership- pick the person with integrity, regardless of party, who will fight for us. Every action we use to push back matters.
Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more.
Taking back our power starts now.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong.
Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.
