John,
Under Donald Trump and Elon Musk's leadership, the Social Security Administration is in shambles.
- The website crashed 4 times in 10 days
- Phone lines are completely overwhelmed
- Trained career staff who have ensured payments were made on time are being forced out
- SSA field offices on the chopping block
They are dismantling our Social Security system before our eyes--and at his confirmation hearing yesterday, Trump's nominee to run the Social Security Administration put no daylight between himself and the destruction.
The Senate MUST REJECT Frank Bisignano's nomination and insist on a Social Security commissioner who is loyal to the 72 million people who rely on Social Security, not to Elon Musk. Send a message to your Senators today!
Thank you,

John,
The Senate just held a hearing for Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Social Security Administration―and it was bad!
For months, we’ve seen headline after headline describing the chaos and ruination that Elon Musk’s DOGE has inflicted upon the Social Security Administration. Today’s hearing showed that nominee Frank Bisignano is not the cure to the DOGE-manufactured chaos at the Social Security Administration. In fact, he is part of it, and, if confirmed, would make it even worse.
Send a message to your Senators: REJECT Trump & Musk’s hand-picked Social Security Commissioner!
Bisignano describes himself as ‘a DOGE person’. That’s something he has in common with the current acting commissioner, Lee Dudek, who has slashed staff and services at the direction of Elon Musk’s DOGE.
Bisignano lied under oath about coordinating with DOGE to create the current chaos in the Social Security Administration. Fortunately, a high-level civil servant has blown the whistle and set the record straight―something that Sen. Ron Wyden was quick to point out.
Bisignano’s record at the private sector companies he has run is right in line with DOGE. He cut staffing to the bone and reportedly created toxic work environments. If he is confirmed, the now-toxic work environment at SSA will likely get worse.
Social Security needs a commissioner whose loyalty is to beneficiaries, not Elon Musk. Bisignano would not even contradict Musk’s slander that Social Security is a criminal Ponzi scheme. Every Senator who cares about Social Security’s future should vote no on the confirmation of Frank Bisignano.
Tell your Senators: Frank Bisignano is not only unqualified, with no expertise regarding this vital program — he is dangerous to it.
Thank you,
