Biden's speech was something else. These "Need context" flags are the media's way of saying "lying his ass off".

On "Putting Social Security on the chopping block"

Republicans are not currently calling for cuts to Social Security, though some have in the past suggested changes, such as having the program be brought up for regular renewal rather than treated as mandatory spending. Many have distanced themselves from that concept.
Mr. Biden also could have been referring to a budget put forward last year by a large conservative group on Capitol Hill, the Republican Study Committee.
That plan, light on details, called for “modest changes” to the Social Security for people who are “not near retirement” — including benefit formula adjustments and shifting the retirement age for future recipients “to account for increases in life expectancy.”
But it did not outline specific figures and emphasized that it would not affect benefits “for any senior in or near retirement.”
It’s unclear whether such a proposal would gain enough support among Republican lawmakers to pass. Former President Donald J. Trump said in a video address last year that “under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security.” (He, like Mr. Biden, has also not put forward a clear plan for keeping the program solvent.)
The Republican Study Committee, for its part, said in its budget that not addressing the program’s finances will lead to cuts. Social Security’s main trust fund is currently projected to be depleted in 2033, meaning the program would then be able to pay only about three-quarters of total scheduled benefits.

In other words, "on the chopping block" is a blatant lie.
