Incredible bipartisan support from 73 senators on today's first vote for the Social Security Fairness Act.
Thank you for standing with retired fire fighters and other public service workers!
🔥 Today, Senators voted to invoke cloture on the Social Security Fairness Act, legislation led by @SenatorCollins and @SenSherrodBrown.
Thank you to all those who voted to support #firefighters & other public servants.
See which Senators had our backs on today's vote🔽

Millions of public employees who also had 2nd jobs in the private sector AND paid into SS system had/have NO idea their SS benefits would be cut & they'd be stuck in a miserable plight they can't change.
PlZ end this discrimination & vote YEA when #HR82 comes to the Senate‼️

🚨This week, the U.S. Senate FINALLY plans to vote on my bipartisan #SocialSecurityFairnessAct.
I’m proud to lead this commonsense effort with @RepGarretGraves to protect earned retirement benefits for police officers, firefighters, federal workers, and other public servants.

The Senate is set to vote on the Social Security Fairness Act—critical legislation to repeal WEP & GPO penalties that unfairly reduce benefits for teachers, firefighters, and public servants. It’s time to deliver fairness to those who serve our communities. No Amendments. Yes or No Vote. #SocialSecurityFairnessAct #RepealWEPGPO_2024

This fight isn’t about handouts; it’s about demanding fairness and ensuring public service workers receive what they’ve earned through a lifetime of service.
It's time to repeal the WEP/GPO. Thank you, @SenSchumer, for agreeing to call the vote!

It’s time to see who stands with #firefighters, teachers, cops, and other public service workers and who doesn’t. It’s time to repeal the WEP/GPO.
Be sure to call your US Senator and ask them to vote in favor of all upcoming floor votes on this bill!

🔥🏛️ It's time to #RepealWEPGPO!
Huge thanks to all who stood up - rain or shine - for public servants and their hard-earned benefits.

Boeing continues to reveal themselves as a company unserious regarding safety. Instead of closing their doors to union firefighters, maybe focus on keeping fuselage doors closed during flight. @IAFFofficial @Boeing #StopLeavingSafetyUpintheAir

Imagine locking out #firefighters?
It’s time for @Boeing to negotiate a fair contract with a liveable wage for @BoeingFFs!

Someone needs to call the local fire department for @SenMullin to treat obvious dehydration. Never seen someone so thirsty to show they used to wrestle. @Teamsters @TeamsterSOB #brothersinlabor

As @POTUS travels to the @G7 this week, I express my gratitude for his continued support of Navy Lt Ridge Alkonis, the son of a retired LA County Fire Chief.
The President has always been a steadfast advocate and supporter of first responder, veteran, and military communities.
