Last week during his joint address to Congress, the President falsely claimed that millions of dead people are receiving Social Security checks. While these lies have been repeatedly debunked, his comments and those of my Republican colleagues make clear that they want to cut Social Security and are trying to make it more palatable to do so by fabricating widespread fraud.

Last week, House Republicans narrowly passed their extreme, reckless budget that threatens to cut two trillion dollars across programs like Medicaid, student loans, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), school lunch programs, and more all to fund even more tax cuts for corporations and the ultrawealthy.

The new Administration, led by unelected billionaire and DOGE head Elon Musk, continues to gut federal agencies, including the Federal Aviation Administration, National Institutes of Health, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, making our country less safe.
