President Trump and Elon Musk are coming after Social Security. They're closing local offices and firing the workers who make sure people get the money they've earned – just to give more tax breaks to billionaires.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Today, I went to our Social Security Office to conduct Oversight and was denied access to meet with officials.
Instead, we were given a generic phone number in another state and denied entry past the waiting room.
Here’s what we found out ⬇️

“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Grateful that @governor.pa.gov and his family are safe after an apparent act of arson at his residence. Acts of violence have no place in our politics. Those responsible should be held accountable.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax.
Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money.
As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1￠, no one should have to pay to vote.
