Donald Trump and Elon Musk are playing games with your Social Security benefits — money you've earned through a lifetime of hard work.
They want to fire workers responsible for processing checks and close hundreds of regional offices.
Not on my watch.

Thank you @warren.senate.gov you and @sanders.senate.gov are our only hope but I’m afraid it’s not enough. Please replace #spinelessshumer with a leader who will stand up for us. 🩸🦷
I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill.
NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want.
NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.
We need to push back.
