Trump and Elon are removing phone support for elderly and disabled people who need help with their Social Security benefits.
This is not a cost-saving measure — this is a step to make it harder for you to get your hard-earned money. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Social Security to require millions to make claims in person rather than by phone
The change is expected to create new hardships as Trump and Musk push massive cuts to the agency that serves elderly and disabled Americans.

ICYMI: Joined @pattymurray.bsky.social to raise the alarm about Congressional Republicans’ proposed cuts to Medicaid. In Washington state, over 1.8 million people rely on Medicaid — including nearly 126k neighbors who call the 6th District home. I will always fight to protect this essential program.

More gut-wrenching data that shows what happens when Republicans ban abortion: more women hospitalized for PREVENTABLE conditions, more women miscarrying, more women dead.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Trump is firing thousands upon thousands of VETERANS for no reason at all. These men & women put their lives on the line for our country and they do critical work, many of them serving other veterans! Trump and Musk’s reckless firing spree is beyond despicable.

Trump & Musk are randomly firing people who:
➡️track bird flu & other disease outbreaks
➡️manage nuclear weapons
➡️conduct lifesaving cancer research
➡️fight wildfires
➡️ensure planes land safely
➡️& more.
It doesn’t "cut waste." It creates inefficiency & costs MORE down the line.

This is happening because Elon Musk tweeted to kill the December funding bill & all the bipartisan health policies Congress negotiated fell apart.
Expanding telehealth brings DOWN costs. It makes health care MORE efficient, and it’s SO important for rural patients.

While Trump is busy making problems worse, trampling our laws, and quoting dictators, Senate Republicans are turning a blind eye and—no they aren’t focused on the price of eggs—they're SPRINTING to pass tax cuts for billionaires.

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov.
A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world.
It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it.
A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

The scale and scope of Trump and Elon’s purge of federal workers will set our country back decades.
You can't just fire everyone, gut critical agencies, halt funding to organizations across the country and think there won’t be massive consequences.
