Disability. Social Security. D.C. Personal account.

Yesterday the Social Security Administration sent a highly misleading & political press release about the tax bill to my work account, where I'd signed up for SSA updates.

Then overnight I got it again, this time to my personal account. And I heard from lots of others who did, too. 🧵

Social Security payments are life or death for millions of seniors, families, and children nationwide.

And the Trump Administration continues to put it in harm’s way. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Mr. Vought, be honest.

Waste, fraud, and abuse are not the targets of this Administration. They are your primary objectives.

You can’t beta test people’s retirements.

The cost of failure isn’t inefficiency — it’s millions left trying to pay bills without their main source of income.

Every justification they have for firing thousands of HHS employees is a lie—but the consequences that it will have on American lives will be very real.

Democrats have worked to make it easier for seniors and people with disabilities to access their earned benefits in secure ways that work for them.

Musk and Trump are tearing it all down.

The entire Republican playbook is to make agencies harder to use, claim they are broken, and then justify cuts to them.

It’s what they are doing to Social Security right now.

Democrats won’t let them get away with it.

Democrats aren’t stopping here.

Democrats understand that we have a duty to the American people to know what DOGE is doing.

In a new follow-up letter to Republicans, we're calling on Elon Musk to appear before the Committee: democrats-waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center...

The energy Rep. John Larson brought this morning is exactly right.

Republicans keep voting NO on holding Elon Musk accountable to the American people. Why?
