Massachusetts Senator Warren’s ‘War Room’ Crusade Against Trump

There's no time to throw back beers or walk the dog. Democrat Massachusetts U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren is needed in the "war room" to fight to save Social Security from Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Newsweek says the war room initiative spearheaded by Warren and fellow Democrat Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon "is a direct response to sweeping changes imposed by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an administrative body created by President Donald Trump and overseen by Elon Musk."

DOGE has been conducting a forensic audit of the federal budget in search of waste, fraud, and abuse.

The publication says, "The 'war room' will serve as a central effort to lobby against efforts to change Social Security, visit field offices, hold town halls, share Social Security beneficiaries' stories and relay information on social media."

The Trump White House says, "The Social Security Administration made an estimated $72 billion in improper payments between 2015 and 2022." The report cites an August 2024 investigation by the Office of Inspector General.

President Trump has repeatedly said he does not intend to cut Social Security benefits.

But during a news conference announcing the formation of the "war room," Sen. Wyden insisted, "Social Security is under attack. Social Security is under siege. The chainsaw is pointed at their earned Social Security benefits. We believe Republicans have manufactured a crisis at Social Security."

Never one to miss an opportunity to catch the spotlight, Warren said Social Security checks will be delayed, and seniors will have to "borrow money to pay rent" and "go without food."

Multimillionaire Warren called for expanding Social Security benefits and insisted the "richest Americans" pay "their fair share into the program."
