Social Security CAN'T CONTRIBUTE A SINGLE PENNY TO THE DEBT. But Republicans are trying to create a closed door commission to cut our hard-earned benefits. Instead, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES!

Just like during the Great Depression, many Americans are unable to afford life’s basic necessities. Once again, they have elected Democrats to resolve that crisis. Democrats should respond by expanding Social Security for generations to come.

The first thing Democrats should do is what we have protested for years & is urgent for 2027: REPEAL THE MEDICAID CUTS & EXTEND THE ACA SUBSIDIES. If there aren’t 4 R Senators they will be blamed & if there are & the mango moron vetoes it he will be blamed. DO IT!!!

It is funny that what won Mississippi for the Democrats was his opponent using the talking point of chained CPI: inflation isn't so bad because people can substitute cheaper versions of the same good. Chained CPI is what Simpson-Bowles wanted to use to cut Social Security.

Democratic candidates won by coming out strong on Social Security: Tax the rich. No cuts to our earned benefits!

Or we can pass Bernie’s bill to expand Social Security benefits by $2,400, increase COLAs, lift millions of seniors out of poverty & make Social Security solvent for 75 years by scrapping the cap & applying the payroll tax on all income above $250,000-supported by 78% of voters.

Never let a billionaire tell you that we "can't afford" Social Security.

Corporations and billionaires thrive on apathy. They want us to think we are alone. The solution is community-based activism, organizing, and mutual aid. @RobbyRoadsteame

We are on the right side of history. There's a big blue wave coursing its way through America right now, and nobody can stop it. - @RobbyRoadsteame

Wages have stagnated, but Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump have increased their wealth enormously. It is time to make them pay their fair share and give the American people a raise.

Democrats need to remember that they are the inheritors of the New Deal. They need to channel Francis Perkins, FDR, and Eleanor Roosevelt to deliver for the American people.

Elon Musk’s DOGE put Americans’ Social Security numbers at risk and signed an agreement to share information with a political organization. DOGE was a fraud on the American people.

This is the face of someone who's ready to protect Social Security by scrapping the cap and making billionaires pay their fair share.

Billionaires spewed hatred and bigotry at Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. He responded by talking about healthcare. Michigan voters listened. They want Medicare for All, not hate and division.

Randy Villegas is young, progressive, and Latino. Some in the corporate media and consultant class said he couldn't win. Democrats have been trying to take out David Valadao for years. Villegas crushed him by 34 points.

There is tremendous danger in the lame duck. Republicans want to create a closed-door commission to cut Social Security. The billionaires lost worse than they ever have before, so they are going to try their hardest to rob us while they still have power.
