Congress needs to demand oversight and accountability from Elon Musk and his DOGE staff for the largest data breach in history!

On the campaign trail, Trump promised he would not touch Social Security. Today, over nearly 9,000 staffers have been pushed out and there are record wait times for people to access their earned benefits. Donald Trump broke his promise!

Trump pushed out 7,000+ Social Security staffers, declared living Americans dead, and installed a part-time commissioner to oversee the whole thing. Now, we have a scourge of “ghost offices” unable to help millions of beneficiaries. Frank Bisignano needs to resign NOW!

It's a FELONY to steal someone’s Social Security data, yet DOGE did that 500 million times. Elon Musk’s DOGE made us all vulnerable to fraud and scams from hackers and adversary states by moving our private data to an unsecured server! @legalafmtn.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

“We're the richest country in the history of the world. Of course we can afford healthcare for everyone. Of course we can afford a dignified retirement for everyone. The only thing standing in our way is less than 1000 billionaires who corrupted the system.” – Alex Lawson, Social Security Works

Our demand is very simple: Stop funding forever wars. Start fully funding healthcare.

Alex Lawson: We're the richest country in the history of the world. Of course we can afford healthcare for everyone. Of course we can afford a dignified retirement for everyone. The only thing standing in our way is less than 1000 billionaires who have corrupted the system

Alex Lawson: Why did they cut $1 trillion from Medicaid? Why did they cut food stamps and rip food off the tables of the hungry? Why are they harming the least of us to give trillions in tax handouts to the billionaires that we see in the Epstein files?

Alex Lawson: Politicians in Washington, DC like Mike Lawler voted to cut $1 TRILLION from Medicaid. They voted to cut hundreds of billions more from the Affordable Care Act, the largest destruction and theft of healthcare in the history of this country.

"This administration, with the help of spineless Congressmen like Lawler, is terrorizing our nation and ransacking our national coffers for personal illegal and grossly corrupt enrichment. We will defeat them in November."

Today, Rep. Mike Lawler is holding an event with Donald Trump to lie to New Yorkers about how "great" the economy is. Meanwhile, all five candidates running in the Democratic primary to challenge Rep. Lawler are standing together in a show of unity!

"Mike Lawler was the deciding vote for that big bag of BS Bill. that cut $900 billion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. It is not enough to just blame Donald Trump. We need to put it on all the people who enable this to happen. And that starts with Mike Lawler."

We're mobilizing EVERYWHERE, to make sure that anybody in this state that cares about democracy shows up to vote." - Chris Alexander, Executive Director of the New York State Conference of the NAACP

Donald Trump is New York today to rally with Rep. Mike Lawler, one of the most vulnerable House Republicans. We're outside the event with a mighty group of protestors. "Mike Lawler grow a spine, you're working on the people's time!"

Here’s a breakdown of how Elon Musk used his DOGE goons to steal 500 MILLION Americans’ Social Security data– including our SSNs, addresses, places of birth, citizenship status, mothers’ maiden names, spouse & children’s information, and more! @legalafmtn.bsky.social @courtacctability.bsky.social

Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO) voted to slash over $1 trillion from Medicaid and the ACA. We asked Rep. Evans if he is concerned about the people in his district who will lose healthcare, and may die, because of his vote. He laughed. Then he ran away.

In what world is it a “good outcome” for millions of Americans to have to sacrifice their health care so corporations can avoid paying the billions they owe in taxes? @warren.senate.gov is asking the right questions!

“The ghost offices turn into closed offices, and it's all by design. The billionaires are hollowing out the Social Security Administration as an attack on our earned benefits.” – Alex Lawson, Executive Director, Social Security Works @alaw202.bsky.social

Elon Musk wants to destroy Social Security. Elon Musk called us the “parasite class” for building a system that guarantees a life of dignity after retirement, disability, or loss. Elon Musk is the parasite.

Conservatives have been trying to privatize Social Security for decades. Ted Cruz revealed that Trump accounts are another backdoor scheme to destroy our system of earned benefits. HANDS OFF SOCIAL SECURITY.

🚨🚨🚨 Ted Cruz says the quiet part out loud… Trump Accounts are a scheme to privatize Social Security. HANDS OFF OUR EARNED BENEFITS!

"The healthcare costs of every single American family right now are going through the roof. The reality is, you cannot cut more than $900 billion of healthcare spending, and expect those costs not to be made up somewhere else." - @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social

You can't expect a regular middle-class couple to pay $2,433.27 a month for a premium. Republicans in Congress are making it harder to see a doctor or pay for health coverage. All so billionaires and big corporations can get another tax break. - Audrey Horn of Omaha NE

To those of you who claim there isn't enough money for healthcare, while spending billions on endless wars and corporate giveaways: We don't believe you. Hands off Medicaid. Hands off Medicare. Hands off affordable healthcare! - Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ)

Medicaid pays for the care I need to live independently, to work, and to give back. When Republicans in Congress cut Medicaid, they didn't just cut a line in the budget. They cut the care that helps people like me live independently. - Tiffany Mason

Healthcare cuts are making care more expensive, less accessible and less secure. Billionaires can get tax cuts, but people can't go to the doctor when they need to go to the doctor. - @debbiedingell.house.gov

Republicans think we can't afford healthcare. We can't afford nutrition. We can't afford to bolster Social Security. But we can spend $60 billion on a ill-advised and unauthorized military incursion in Iran. - @morelle.house.gov

Tyler Quick: None of this is theoretical for my community, it means fewer doctor visits, missed medications, more homelessness, empty plates, and closed doors. This is falling on the people who need help the most, and we have to seek out leaders who will rectify this.

Lydia Guzman: I've seen firsthand how deeply connected education and healthcare are for our families and for our students. When students are healthy, they can learn. When families have access to care, children can thrive, and when that care is taken away, everything else falls apart.

Dr. Vince Markovchick: Healthcare is a right, and it should be a right for everyone – and all other developed countries in the world have realized this.

Alex Lawson: Let's remind ourselves WHY they cut $1 trillion out of Medicaid. Why 56K people are going to die every year. To give TRILLIONS in tax handouts to the richest people the world has ever known so they can buy another golden yacht to sail to Epstein's Island or whatever it is that they do.

Alex Lawson: The healthcare system was not working for us before the Republicans in Congress voted to cut $1 trillion out of Medicaid. Gabe Evans, who represents this district, cast his vote along with every other Republican in Congress, signed into law by Donald Trump. They know what they did.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. voted to cut a TRILLION dollars from Medicaid. What does that mean for us? Hospital closures and higher health care costs! @njcitizenaction.bsky.social

Republicans in Congress have their eyes set on destroying priceless New Deal-era art to appease Donald Trump. Visit StopTheDemolition.org to join the fight to protect Social Security history!

26% of people in Rep. Mike Lawler's constituency are under Medicaid. Some of those people are in my congregation. Some of them are in the hospital behind me today. Healthcare cannot be a right reserved for the privileged and fortunate. - Dan Hutton, Pastor, Bedford Community Church

Thanks to Rep. Lawler's vote, this district is gonna lose $2.37 billion over the next 9 years. Hospitals will close. And that is going to hurt EVERYBODY, regardless of what insurance you have. - Dr. Steve B. Auerbach

Local hospitals, urgent care, clinics, and long-term care facilities will cut services and may even shut down. All because of the cuts to Medicaid in the one big ugly cruel bill that Rep. Mike Lawler voted for. - Joe Mayhew, CWA Local 1103

Rep. Mike Lawler had a chance to stand with working families or stand with billionaires. He chose billionaires. - Dylan Wheeler, Empire State Voices

When I hear about cuts to Medicaid, I know exactly what that means for families here in #NY17. Fewer services, overwhelmed providers, and people going without the care they need. But despite what families like mine are going through, Rep. Mike Lawler voted to cut Medicaid. - Karen Rubinson

Legendary greaser @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social has a message for Rep. Mike Lawler: Stop taking our healthcare!

56,000 people will die per year forever because of Mike Lawler's healthcare cuts. This was a choice made by politicians in Washington DC. to put our health at risk. Why did they do this? To give trillions in tax handouts to the richest people in the history of the world - @alaw202.bsky.social

Tayyiaba Farooq: My family's story is not unique. Millions of Americans rely on Medicaid for access to care. No one should have to choose between seeing a doctor and providing for their family or forego life-altering surgery to avoid going into thousands of dollars of medical debt.

We represent workers across more than 5 nursing home facilities in #NJ07. Rep. Tom Kean Jr. voted to cut billions of dollars from Medicaid funding that our facility and our patients rely on. - Tamara Henry and Cyrenia Hood, Certified Nursing Assistants and members of 1199SEUI

Congressional cuts to health care have real human consequences. Thousands upon thousands upon of good people have done everything right. But their medicine and their insurance premiums are just too expensive. This is not a money issue. This is a morality issue. - Reverend Dr. Marti Robinson

In New Jersey, roughly 30% of Planned Parenthood patients use Medicaid insurance. Republican attacks are pushing reproductive healthcare out of reach for everyday people. - Kaitlyn Wojtowicz, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Action of NJ

When healthcare is cut, when Medicaid is reduced, when services disappear, the impact is not theoretical. It's a child losing access to therapy that helps them communicate. - Theresa Luoni, #NJ07 resident

$1 trillion in healthcare cuts didn't happen by accident. Tom Kean Jr. and his allies chose tax breaks for the wealthy over the health and dignity of working families. The consequences are showing in our hospitals, in our communities, in our lives. - Laura Waddell, @njcitizenaction.bsky.social

We know that Representative Tom Kean Jr. has really good healthcare and really good health insurance. We wish we could say the same for his constituents here in New Jersey's 7th District. But Kean voted to take their healthcare away. - @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. voted to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, along with every Republican in Congress. Why? To give trillions in tax handouts to the richest people in the history of the world. - @alaw202.bsky.social

Working people make this country great. We want our tax dollars to fund health care – NOT tax breaks for billionaires to buy more yachts! @alaw202.bsky.social

The $65 billion in tax breaks that Trump gave to his billionaire friends at Meta & Amazon would've been enough money to extend the ACA tax credits. @warren.senate.govwants to know how slashing families’ healthcare for billionaire tax handouts is a “really good outcome for the American public".

Want to save irreplaceable, priceless New Deal era art from Trump’s destruction? Visit StopTheDemolition.org and take action to save the Social Security murals! @meidastouch.com @alaw202.bsky.social

Republican David Valadao raised our healthcare costs, while giving tax breaks to billionaires. 527,000 people in his district are paying for it. STOP TAKING OUR HEALTH CARE.

“Over the past 15 months, the [Trump] administration laid off more than 7,500 Social Security employees, which worsened Americans' access to their earned benefits and gave DOGE free rein to pilfer their most sensitive data.” – Sen. Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov

It’s Tax Day! Did you know that millionaires and billionaires don’t pay their fair share into Social Security with every paycheck, all year long, like the rest of us?

It is a felony to steal and sell anyone’s Social Security data, even if they’re dead. DOGE stole 500 MILLION Americans’ private data. That’s 500 MILLION felonies.

The Republicans in Washington, DC perpetrated enormous economic violence against the states by cutting $1 trillion from Medicaid.

The Republicans in Washington, DC perpetrated enormous economic violence against the states by cutting $1 trillion from Medicaid.

Republicans like Joni Ernst are looking for any path they can take to dismantle our Social Security system– including taking a wrecking ball to the program’s history.

“Our demand is very simple: We say stop funding forever wars. Start fully funding healthcare.” – Tiana Albery, Social Security Works.

Americans want access to affordable health care. But the Trump administration’s main priority is protecting the Epstein class.

Alex Lawson (Social Security Works): "The American people don't want their hospitals to close so that some billionaire pedophile can get another golden helicopter to fly to some billionaire pedophile island." @alaw202.bsky.social

Republicans in Washington have worked day and night to raise costs for families like mine. Now they're doubling down, threatening even deeper cuts to Medicaid, so they can pay for their war and continue handing out tax breaks to billionaires. - Theresa Luoni @unrigoureconomy.bsky.social

During this month of action, we will hold Republicans accountable for the Big Ugly Bill. Rural hospitals and nursing homes are already closing because of them. - @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social @unrigoureconomy.bsky.social

The Trump Administration already gutted Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Now they want to kick off hundreds of thousands more working families from their healthcare to pay for Trump's completely unnecessary war in Iran. - @repcasar.bsky.social @unrigoureconomy.bsky.social

Every day, the Trump administration is spending at least a billion dollars of taxpayer money in Iran. The American people do not want this war. They want affordable healthcare. - @underwood.house.gov @unrigoureconomy.bsky.social

Republicans in Congress promised to lower costs. Instead they cut our healthcare and made life even more expensive for working families. And now they want to cut health care even more to pay for this unnecessary and expensive war. - Leor Tal, @unrigoureconomy.bsky.social

Expand Social Security. Save health care. Tax the rich!

SSW's @alaw202.bsky.social spoke with @klobuchar.senate.gov at the flagship #NoKings rally in St. Paul, MN : "Minnesota has been at the center of America's heartbreak. But we are, as you can see, at the center of America's courage and hope."

Today, in every state in the country, we say loudly and proudly that as Americans, we will never accept authoritarianism. We will never accept government policy that gives massive tax breaks to billionaires and throw 15 million Americans off health care. - @sanders.senate.gov #NoKings

WATCH: @alaw202.bsky.social is at the flagship No Kings protest in St. Paul, speaking with the DNC's Ken Martin.
