Alex Lawson: Let's remind ourselves WHY they cut $1 trillion out of Medicaid. Why 56K people are going to die every year. To give TRILLIONS in tax handouts to the richest people the world has ever known so they can buy another golden yacht to sail to Epstein's Island or whatever it is that they do.

Social Security benefits should be there for us when it's time to collect. Let’s elect candidates who want to protect and expand Social Security for current and future generations – like Bob Brooks!

PA has the greatest concentration of flippable House races in a small geographic area anywhere in America. This hug started the press conference I emceed for @JanelleStelson, who’s going to beat the vile Scott Perry. Perry says he “has the courage to cut Social Security.” SEND HIM HOME!!!

Pennsylvanians deserve members of Congress who are committed to keeping the promise of Social Security strong for generations. @paigecognetti.bsky.social is exactly that kind of candidate.

There are candidates & then there are candidates. @PaigeCognetti.bsky.social is on my shortest list, the one I call “You just need to be in Congress!” The Mayor of Scranton is experienced, graceful, gracious, tough… honestly there aren’t enough adjectives to describe her. PA-08, VOTE HER IN!!!

Packed houses & great volunteer base too for Scranton Mayor @PaigeCognetti.bsky.social in PA-08! Her opponent Rob Bresnahan, wants to turn your Social Security over to Wall Street. And his massive insider trading scandal shows he’s pretty cozy with Wall St already! VOTE HIM OUT!!!

Social Security can be strengthened for current and future generations if the wealthiest among us pay their fair share.

We need people in the Senate like Troy Jackson who are committed to defending our earned benefits.

Ken Paxton plans on cutting your hard-earned Social Security benefits. James Talarico plans to protecting and expanding your hard-earned Social Security benefits.

@socialsecurityworks.orgOct 8, 2026, 8:49 PM

Ken Paxton wants to cut Social Security benefits for 1.3 million Texans.

His opponent, Democratic candidate James Talarico, is committed to protecting and expanding your hard-earned benefits.

The choice is clear for working-class families.

Ken Paxton is a sick man who thinks it’s a joke to push over a million Texans into poverty by stealing their hard-earned benefits. Ken Paxton should NEVER be allowed anywhere near the levers of power, since clearly he thinks working people are a joke!

A graphic with a photo of Ken Paxton and a superimposed photo of Alex Lawson. The text says, "It's disgusting that Ken Paxton is laughing while planning to cut Social Security benefits for everyone in this country, including the nearly 5 million Texans who rely on Social Security and the 1.3 million Texans who Social Security keeps out of poverty. This is a sick man who thinks it’s a joke to push over a million Texans into poverty by stealing their hard-earned benefits. This is a man who should not be allowed anywhere near the levers of power, since clearly he thinks working people are a joke to be laughed at with the billionaire donors he works for. – Alex Lawson Executive Director of Social Security Works”

Social Security’s future depends on the next election. We must keep Republicans like Ken Paxton out of the Senate and FAR away from our earned benefits!

A graphic with a photo of Ken Paxton. The text says, "KEN PAXTON LEAKED AUDIO: TAX CUTS FOR LOBBYISTS. SOCIAL SECURITY CUTS FOR YOU? AT A PRIVATE FUNDRAISER WITH LOBBYISTS, KEN PAXTON CALLED FOR TAX CUTS PAIRED WITH CUTS TO 'MANDATORY SPENDING.' A LOBBYIST JOKED THAT HER 'FAIR SHARE' OF TAXES WAS LESS THAN SHE PAYS NOW. THE ROOM LAUGHED. PAXTON: 'I'M WITH YOU ON THAT.'"

Leaked audio reveals Ken Paxton plans to cut Social Security and Medicare: "Making some reasonable cuts to mandatory spending — you're gonna have to do it."

Leaked audio of Ken Paxton revealing he wants to cut programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid: “Making some reasonable cuts to mandatory spending… Suck it up.”

@socialsecurityworks.orgOct 8, 2026, 2:05 PM

🚨BREAKING: Ken Paxton just revealed he wants to cut programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid: “Making some reasonable cuts to mandatory spending… Suck it up.” This is NOT someone we can trust with our earned benefits!

This November, vote for Senators who promise to protect your earned benefits.

The future of Social Security depends on this election.

@roycoopernc.bsky.social

A graphic with photos of Senate candidates Roy Cooper and Michael Watley. The text says, The Senators elected this November will LITERALLY decide the future of Social Security. In 2032, either seniors will get screwed, or millionaires and billionaires will pay their fair share into Social Security. WHO DO YOU TRUST TO MAKE THAT CHOICE?

Democratic candidate for Florida's 13th Congressional District Leela Gray on Social Security: “You earned it, and I’m gonna fight like hell to protect it!”

Matt Dunlap is a Democrat running for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District.

He has experience as a State Legislator, Secretary of State, and State Auditor.

Matt Dunlap is EXACTLY the kind of person we need defending our earned benefits in Congress.

Enough is enough. We have to elect candidates who will stand with seniors, NOT billionaires!

@jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social

A post from Jon "Bowzer" Bauman (@JonBowzerBauman). The text says, "Absolutely LOVED Troy Jackson, Maine Senate candidate against Susan Collins. Collins has FLUNKED senior issues. You FLUNK at 65%, and she is at 43% lifetime. She votes WRONG most of the time. Mainers should stop being conned by her! ELECT @TroyJackson207!!!"

People cannot afford a cut to Social Security’s modest benefits.

Let’s elect candidates like Roy Cooper, who want to make the wealthy pay their fair share so we can protect and expand Social Security for current and future generations!

Rep. Darren Soto is 100% right.

As working Americans who pay into Social Security, it’s vital that our hard-earned benefits are available to us when we need them.

@repdarrensoto.bsky.social

A graphic with a photo of Rep. Darren Soto. The text says, "For over 90 years, the Social Security program has provided millions in Florida and across the nation with comprehensive retirement, disability, and survivors’ benefits. Americans pay into the program, and it is important that their hard-earned benefits are available when they need them."
@socialsecurityworks.orgOct 5, 2026, 9:43 PM

We cannot let the wealthy elite manipulate us into letting them use Social Security as their personal piggy bank. Vote for candidates who want to protect and expand Social Security by making the ultra-rich pay their fair share!
