Mr. Speaker, during this past district work period, I met with seniors across my district who are worried about losing the lifelines they depend on: Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. At one event with our seniors, a Social Security worker told us that wait times are exploding. He said that staff are being watched and pushed to quit every single day. In some cities, offices are even closing. These are the people who make sure the checks that our seniors depend on go out. Trump and Elon Musk want them to quit. The Social Security worker told us he felt that he had failed the American people. Let's be clear: He didn't fail us. The Republicans did. That is why I have been out there raising the alarm. Seniors and their families deserve what is coming. Seniors built this country. They paid in, showed up, and earned these benefits. If Republicans think they can slash these lifelines without a fight, they are dead wrong. We put seniors over billionaires. ____________________
