CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW re: Social Security Commissioner [View all]

CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW. Tell them NOT to vote to confirm Frank Bisignano - a vulture capitalist who believes, along with Musk, that Social Security is a "Ponzi" scheme and who wants to DESTROY it.

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.

CALL 202-224-3121 or send them a message here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/social-security-needs-a-commissioner-whose-loyalty-is-to-beneficiaries-not-elon-musk/

The clip below is from Social Security Works. It is part of an email I received today:
