Mr. President, this amendment will reverse Elon Musk's cuts to the Social Security Administration. And before it is denied that this is happening, today, yet another mass firing was reported when service quality is already at a tailspin. Phone services are being terminated, offices are being closed, seniors are waiting on hold for hours, office managers are manning the phones because receptionists are fired, and the website is crashing repeatedly under the strain. Mr. Musk calls Social Security a Ponzi scheme but refuses to testify before Congress. I know he is rich and powerful, but where are the subpoenas? American seniors deserve transparency. Secretary Lutnick said his mother-in-law wouldn't complain if she missed a Social Security check. Maybe that is because her son-in-law is a billionaire. But Georgia seniors don't have that luxury. Support this amendment. Stand with America's seniors over the richest man in the world. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Idaho.
