Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and Donald Trump called it a scam. Make no mistake - they want to slash & privatize Americans' benefits.
My resolution compels them to provide answers, but Republicans are trying to stop it from even coming to a vote in the House.

Trump policies have pushed Social Security's insolvency closer than ever. CT seniors could be hit the hardest, with a $500 benefit cut MONTHLY.
Democrats have a plan to protect Social Security & enhance benefits by making the wealthy pay their fair share!commondreams.org/news/social…

As electric bills skyrocket, utility companies want regulators to sign off on ANOTHER profit increase?! You've got to be kidding.
Proud to lead a coalition challenging this plan. Billion-dollar corporations have no right to prioritize their greed at the expense of ratepayers.

'DOGE' employees have been combing through your records for over a year. They even schemed to use confidential data to help overturn election results.
There should be a criminal investigation and real accountability for their abuses of power and reckless data breach.

Trump officials are once again pretending the rules don't apply to them. They broke the law by halting immigration and citizenship applications based on nationality, including a longtime Bristol resident from Cuba. They must comply with the court’s order. washingtonpost.com/immigrati…

We remember the 49 lives stolen at Pulse and stand with the families and community forever changed by this act of hatred ten years ago.
Hate has no place in America. I'll continue to root out discrimination and hate in all forms, and work to end gun violence with real action.

Trump is spending your tax dollars to desecrate the living memorial to President Kennedy. But he has no plan to make life more affordable for you.
John F. Kennedy called on all of us to put service above self. He’s the furthest thing from Donald Trump anyone could imagine.
Breaking news: The Kennedy Center’s board plans to fight a federal judge’s order to remove President Trump’s name from the performing arts center. wapo.st/3S3TiNc

Our right to vote is sacred, yet Republicans are doing everything they can to block access to the ballot box. I joined @rep_jackson to introduce a constitutional amendment safeguarding the freedom to vote for every single American and stopping these attacks on our democracy!

Trump policies have pushed Social Security's insolvency closer than ever.
Republicans have no plan. The administration cut staff and closed offices in their push to privatize the system.
We need to protect Social Security and enhance benefits to keep pace with rising costs!

The Trump Administration plans to allow anyone to ship handguns through the mail, reversing a century-old rule protecting Americans from violence. I'm calling on the Postmaster General to reject this proposal. We have a bill to block this dangerous rule if the Post Office won’t!

Last year, Republicans snuck through a harmful school voucher program in their Big, Ugly Bill. We need to invest in all students by supporting public education! I'm proud to introduce the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act with @RepGwenMoore to repeal this shady tax scheme.

Trump and his 'DOGE' minions have cut staff, closed offices, and stolen your private data. Their failures have helped push automatic benefit cuts closer than ever.
Democrats are fighting to protect Social Security and enhance benefits by making the wealthy pay their fair share!

The IRS leaked data to ICE, so they could send agents after taxpayers in our communities.
@RepLindaSanchez & I demanded an investigation. We've now learned that they shared inaccurate records, breached your privacy and broke the law thousands of times. ICE needs to be disbanded!

The annual SSA trustees report revealed that Donald Trump is weakening Social Security.
Social Security Champions like @RepJohnLarson are sounding the alarm on the Republican plan to cut, privatize, and steal our Social Security!

Trump officials want to close a facility in Hamden that protects our forests and farms from invasive species. Insects are now responsible for a quarter of tree deaths across the Northeast! We can't afford to turn back the clock on these research efforts. courant.com/2026/06/05/ct-of…

Mike Johnson calls Social Security an “entitlement” and says he has a plan for it to be “adjusted and fixed.”
Social Security is an earned benefit – not an entitlement – and as we’ve warned repeatedly, it’s about to hit a cliff, now in 2032. In Connecticut, that would mean an average loss of $556/month in benefits.
The way to prevent this is by making the rich pay their fair share in payroll tax – the same as middle and working-class Americans.

Instead of working with Democrats to strengthen Social Security, Trump and DOGE continue their efforts to dismantle and privatize this vital program in order to give tax breaks to the wealthy.
Congress must act now to protect Americans' hard-earned benefits and ensure they can retire with dignity.

Tens of millions of Americans on Social Security rely on it to survive.
Trump and the Republicans want to slash their support so billionaires can get more tax cuts. That's criminal!
Let's enhance Social Security by making the wealthy pay their fair share. We have a plan!
