House Republicans' budget proposal to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits has been met with strong opposition from House Democrats and prominent figures like Joe Biden. The proposal aims to raise healthcare costs and make seniors work longer before receiving full benefits. Democrats are advocating for protecting and enhancing these benefits, emphasizing the need to make the wealthy pay their fair share.
A budget proposal is a statement of values, and I want every American to listen to what Democrats are offering and fighting for. We’re working to lower health care costs for seniors, expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing, and make prescription drugs cheaper. https://t.co/wZRqkL7MuR
Letter carriers connect Americans all across the country and keep our economy and small businesses moving — literally! I had an incredible time meeting with members of @NALC_National, and I'm proud to fight alongside you to pass the Protect our Letter Carriers Act. https://t.co/3eDTdBkeMT
Last month, the former President called for cuts to Americans' hard-earned benefits on national TV. Now, Trump and Congressional Republicans are letting us in on their plan to deliver tax breaks for the wealthy and slash your Medicare & Social Security. We can't let them succeed! https://t.co/fYbNTJq0oa
Today, I was glad to meet with representatives from the @NALC_National, including the president of Bethlehem & Allentown local NALC unions. Our letter carriers allow us to connect with family, friends and loved ones, and I will continue fighting to protect their safety & rights. https://t.co/Jv00lcMxzF
Last month, the Republican Study Committee–which represents 100% of House Republican leadership and nearly 80% of House Republicans–released a plan to cut $718 billion from Social Security over 10 years. I am proud that with the @USProgressives 2025 agenda, we are showing the… https://t.co/J5TbtKOl0Q

80% of Republicans just called for slashing Americans' hard-earned Social Security and Medicare benefits. Why? They want to give their billionaire friends ANOTHER #TaxScam handout.
Extreme MAGA Republicans have put forward a cruel, backward budget that guts funding for Medicare and Social Security. I was proud to stand with my colleagues to show how Democrats are fighting back and standing up for the people. https://t.co/huc4xi3fUN
Glad to stand with Assistant Leader @RepJoeNeguse and my Democratic colleagues to oppose Republican attacks on Social Security. We need to protect and enhance Social Security benefits for the first time in more than 50 years, not cut them! https://t.co/dsH6fhO4Ma
MAGA Republicans want billionaires to pay less in taxes and seniors to work longer before they can retire with full Social Security benefits. I’ve got a better idea. Let’s protect Social Security and Medicare and make the very wealthy begin to pay their fair share.
House Republicans' budget plan imposes draconian cuts to Medicare & Social Security and would raise healthcare costs for millions of Americans. House Democrats — and the American people — will oppose it at every turn. https://t.co/pnYkMkWJKn
The American people expect Congress to move our country forward, not backward. Today, I joined @HouseDemocrats in rejecting House Republicans’ extreme budget proposal to gut Social Security and Medicare, forcing hardworking families in NH and beyond to work longer for less. https://t.co/GJ6aV3sQtz
