Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Joe Rogan. He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected"—which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable. He _is_ a Yarvinist—and he's coming for our Social Security.

If Republicans make massive cuts to Medicaid, it will impact all aspects of our health care system. Millions of kids will lose coverage, hospital and insurance rates will soar and nursing homes will shut down. All this in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires. NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

The GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — demanding cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Friendly reminder: there’s plenty of time left to claim up to $1,750 per child with our nation-leading Child Tax Credit. Last year, we put over $550 million into the pockets of nearly 225,000 families. Don’t leave money on the table, Minnesota.

LA GOP senator Bill Cassidy slammed the state’s anti-vaccine stance, calling it a ‘disservice’ to parents—right after backing anti-vax champion RFK Jr. as health secretary. Because nothing says ‘pro-science’ like voting for a conspiracy theorist & then being shocked by anti-vaccine policies.

I have talked to people who make $100,000 a year, and fight for the billionaires because they think they are close in status. No, friend. Not in the least. You’re much, much closer to being bankrupt than you are to being a billionaire. When they speak of the wealthy, they’re not speaking of you.
