“I want a world that is awesome. I want a world that is kind. I want a world that works for working people. That is who makes this country great. It's the billionaires and their perverted sense of what life is that are the problem, but it's solvable.” – Alex Lawson @alaw202.bsky.social
Because I had Medicaid coverage, I was able to undergo brain surgery and receive specialized care for a very rare medical condition. Otherwise, I would have died. That's why these cuts and new barriers are so dangerous. - Alexander L.
Instead of a precarious and shaky patchwork system where a disruption to your healthcare is one job loss or plan change away, it is time to fight for a world where healthcare is truly a right, not a privilege.
61 years ago, President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law. Now, Republicans are trying to dismantle both programs. Democrats must respond by fighting for Medicare for All. 🧵
I'm proud to stand with labor and social security advocates to send a clear message to Luke Bronin and the billionaires: we’ll stand up to anyone who tries to undermine workers' rights, wages & benefits.
John Larson is Social Security's #1 champion in the U.S. House! He is going to make billionaires pay their fair share. That's why the billionaires are so desperate to defeat him — and why we need to make sure they fail.

Rep. John Larson has made his priorities clear: Showing up every day in Congress to fight for America’s workers, widows/widowers, people with disabilities, children, and seniors by protecting Social Security. @johnlarsonct.bsky.social
Rep. John Larson: Rise up, America. Stand with these unions. Stand with the people. We have to stand for the people. @johnlarsonct.bsky.social
Republicans want to dismantle Medicare. Democrats MUST fight for Medicare for All.
REMINDER: Medical bankruptcy ONLY exists in the United States! @jayapal.house.gov
Healthcare hero Donna Smith and @mannyrutinel.bsky.social are ready to give Rep. Gabe Evans the boot! #CO08
Millions of people rely on Social Security to stay alive. Social Security isn’t a “scam”. Social Security is America’s most dependable, efficient, and popular program– we need to protect these earned benefits, not cut them. @sanders.senate.gov
Want to know why Rep. John Larson is known as the number one Social Security champion in Congress? Watch former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley break it down for everyone.
Martin O'Malley@martinomalley.bsky.social · 2d agoEven though the Republicans controlled the Supreme Court, the presidency, and the Senate and House, John Larson is truly the only reason why 70 million beneficiaries of Social Security did not see their benefits interrupted. @johnlarsonct.bsky.social
We’re not going to let the billionaires buy a seat in Congress. Wall Street donors are trying their hardest to unseat Congress’ top Social Security defender, Rep. John Larson, to avoid paying their fair share into the program! @johnlarsonct.bsky.social @alaw202.bsky.social
"It's a big, gigantic, blown-up Ponzi scheme." THAT is what a Senate Republican said on the floor just yesterday. At a time when Social Security is facing insolvency, we need to fight to SAVE Social Security now and for future generations. NO cuts, NO privatization.
This is what Republicans think of your hard-earned benefits. Tuberville lays out the plan if they win in November: Hand Social Security over to Wall Street billionaires.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov · 7d agoIf you're wondering what party will help you keep your Social Security benefits and which one is trying to take them away, this is a Republican on the Senate floor TODAY:
“Juan Ciscomani voted to gut Southern Arizonans’ health care, and now health care clinics across the state are closing. We need a leader in Congress who’s actually going to stand up for us, fight for lower costs and protect our health care.” – AZ-6 Dem Candidate JoAnna Mendoza @joannamendoza.com
The Republican "solution" for Social Security is an unaccountable commission that rubber stamps benefit cuts like increasing the retirement age. Hell no! @wyden.senate.gov
Democrats have plans to secure Social Security with no cuts, by making billionaires pay their fair share. Republicans want an unaccountable commission instead. We need a public debate. @wyden.senate.gov
Democrats have legislation that will make Social Security solvent for as far as the actuarial eye can see without cutting benefits. Where's the Republican proposal? It doesn't exist. - @whitehouse.senate.gov
Our message today is simple: Strengthen Social Security without cutting the benefits Americans have earned. Do this in Congress through regular order because Social Security is far too important to be rushed, outsourced, or decided behind closed doors. - Nancy LeaMond, AARP
"When Social Security is secure, millions of families are more secure, and so is our economy...81% of older Americans across party lines reject cutting Social Security benefits." - Nancy LeaMond, AARP
Americans are remarkably united around what they want for Social Security's future...more than 3 in 4 Republicans and more than 9 in 10 Democrats want lawmakers to strengthen Social Security's revenue base to protect its critical benefits. - Rebecca Vallas, National Academy of Social Insurance
"Social Security...isn't simply a math problem to solve. It's part of the fabric of American life, relied upon today and counted on tomorrow by Americans across income levels, party affiliations, and generations." - Rebecca Vallas, National Academy of Social Insurance
Safeguarding Social Security for the next generation isn't just dollars and cents. It's about ensuring that Americans can live independently and with dignity. - @wyden.senate.gov
"The economy that we have today is not the economy we had in 1983...more of high earners' income and wealth now comes from sources that are outside of Social Security's traditional financing structure." - Rebecca Vallas, National Academy of Social Insurance
Seniors are having a harder time today affording everyday expenses than when President Trump took office, between soaring inflation and the president's failed economic agenda. Social Security benefits aren't going as far as they used to. - @hassan.senate.gov
Democrats are fighting to protect and expand Social Security benefits, funded by the wealthiest Americans paying their fair share. Republicans pretend the only solution is benefit cuts. When they see how unpopular that is, they say let's set up a commission to make the cuts. - @warren.senate.gov
