John,

Donald Trump will address a joint session of Congress tonight for the first time since re-taking the White House.

Prepare to hear some lies.

Just yesterday, former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley warned that Elon Musk’s demolition of the Social Security Administration could lead to missed payments within the next 30-90 days.¹

Trump has publicly claimed that he will “love and cherish” Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.² But he endorsed a budget proposal that would cut almost a trillion dollars from Medicaid,³ appointed a Medicare privatizer to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,⁴ and his “First Buddy” Elon Musk thinks Social Security is a scam, and promoted a lackey to fire half of the staff that keep checks going out.⁵

If Donald Trump claims he is the protector of our Social Security system, he’s lying. Rush a donation to help expose those lies!

Social Security Works is driving a billboard truck around the Capitol tonight, as members of Congress enter to listen to Trump’s lies. It’s not subtle―so even members of Congress will get the message.

Billboard trucks are expensive, but they get attention. Can you chip in to make sure every member of Congress gets the message: You stand with Elon Musk and Donald Trump, or you stand with Social Security. You can’t do both.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:
