Myths and Misinformation
Social Security wasn’t supposed to be taxed: False.
The Social Security Act allowed the taxation of payments. In 1983, Congress taxed 50% of benefits for high earners, increasing to 85% in 1993.
The Social Security trust fund is part of the general fund: False.
Social Security appears in the federal budget for accounting purposes, but those funds are not part of the general fund and cannot be used for other needs.

Facts, Myths, and Threats
Social Security is an “entitlement” program, meaning everyone eligible is entitled to Social Security payments.

In addition, while nuclear power has lower emissions than fossil fuel energy, claims that it is carbon-free are patently false. Nuclear companies conflate and twist numbers to exclude the full life cycle of uranium extraction from calculating the carbon footprint of power generation.
Montana is better off without either of these bills.

Nuclear energy is dangerous from the time uranium is pulled from the earth to the time its waste must be buried back into it. There is no safe way to extract, use, or discard uranium.
Many Indigenous groups around the world, including on the Navajo Nation in the Southwest U.S., have experienced extreme harms of uranium mining, from cancers caused by extracting the ore itself to perpetually polluted water to violence from pro-mining groups.

Montanans:
OPPOSE HB 696 and HB 623
(H) Energy 2/28 @ 3 p.m.

These bills propose to invite a truly disturbing new industry to Montana: processing uranium and storing nuclear waste. These bills would encourage the most dangerous and polluting parts of the nuclear energy process to come to Montana, as well as pave the way for future nuclear development in the state.

Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed #SocialSecurity Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.

They are taking a huge amount of harassment as reported here: https://dailymontanan.com/2025/02/24.
These Senators still believe in their Republican ideals, but they are tired of the games being played to hold up the very process of legislating. Republicans in power seem more concerned about party loyalty than addressing the need to debate bills and get the job done!

Montanans:
Send thanks.
9 Montana Republican Senators have worked to bring accountability and responsibility to the Senate floor. They have fought for fair and responsible committee assignments starting on week one, for the need to move bills forward to the floor instead of getting held up by Republican roadblocks, and they have worked to find compromises and ways to solve the issues that face all Montanans. In other words, they are doing the job for which they have been elected.

Budgets are value statements.
📉 Republicans:
$4.5 TRILLION in tax cuts for the ultra-rich
Massive cuts to healthcare, food assistance & education
$5 TRILLION added to the national debt
📈 Democrats (2021 budget):
Universal pre-K
Lower healthcare & childcare costs
Tax credits to cut childhood poverty
The contrast is clear. Republicans value the rich. Share this. 📢

🚨 The Republican budget gives billionaires a $4.5 TRILLION tax cut while slashing Medicaid, food assistance, and school meal programs.
Oh, and it adds $5 TRILLION to the national debt.
They aren’t cutting government waste. They’re cutting your benefits to give tax breaks to the ultra-rich.

Montanans:
Oppose HB371 Ban on mRNA vaccines in Montana for humans
It is going to the full House.
HB371 would undermine Montanans' right to access safe and effective vaccines.
