No one voted to cut Social Security. No one voted to cut Medicare. And no one voted for higher drug prices.

But Donald Trump has empowered Elon Musk to slash the government to ribbons―and Musk has indicated that he’s willing to break Trump’s promises on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Too many members of Congress have tried to play both sides when it comes to our Social Security system. Behind closed doors, especially to their donors, they talk about ways to weaken and undermine the system, culminating in reaching into our pockets and stealing our earned benefits. Then they campaign as loyal protectors who would never dream of touching these sacrosanct programs.

We can’t let this doublespeak stand. We have to draw a line in the sand. Every member of Congress must take the pledge to stand with the American people, on the side of our Social Security system.

There’s a good reason politicians don’t campaign on cutting Social Security: Ninety-two percent of Americans think that’s a terrible idea. That’s why Donald Trump spent millions on mailpieces to Pennsylvania voters claiming that Kamala Harris was destroying Social Security―even though Trump proposed billions in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid in every budget he introduced as President.

With the Trump administration planning trillions of dollars in new tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and corporations, Elon Musk has been tasked with offsetting the cost through cuts. That’s why he’s got his knives out for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Again and again, to politicians from both parties, we have insisted: Any changes to Social Security must happen through regular Congressional order, in the light of day―not in some closed-door commission.

Tell every member of Congress: Take the pledge not to cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid!
