This is going to hit married women who’ve changed their names especially hard. New level of open voter suppression, but following on attacks on voting rights for decades—closing voting centers, purging voters, etc.

Call your senators and say HELL NO

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote.

We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

If the US government requires passports for you to practice your rights such as voting then passports should be provided for free to all and within a reasonable timeframe by said government.

Republicans are still refusing to meet with their constituents, so we’re hosting more town halls.

The SAVE Act places an additional burden on married women and anyone registering to vote by requiring proof of citizenship.

Lawler is lying. Again.

ALERT: Republicans are trying to RUSH through the SAVE Act, sending it back to committee for mysterious amendments. 🤔

THEN bringing it up to the floor for a vote later this week. #HandsOffHerVote

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

The U.S. Department of Education is vital to our students, our teachers, our parents, and countless communities across our nation.

Gutting this agency is illegal and will harm millions.
 
We will once again see this administration in court.

Call to action: Veterans March in DC on March 14. If you know a vet or active service member talk to them about the danger of the Trump regime and encourage them to participate.

House Democrats are unified in our opposition to the largest Medicaid cut in American history.

We only need three Republicans to join us in order to stop it.

Today, Congressman Latimer joined me to announce a plan to keep Social Security services accessible in Westchester. With the closure of the White Plains Social Security Office, too many seniors and individuals with disabilities would be forced to travel long distances to access essential benefits.

Biden=savings. DOGE/Trump=chaos
"The largest savings on the latest version of its list is a $1.9 billion cut at the Treasury Department. But The Times reported last week that this contract was canceled last fall, when Joseph R. Biden Jr. was president — and when DOGE did not yet exist."
DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week
The cuts, highlighted on an earlier version of the “wall of receipts” posted by Elon Musk’s team, contained mistakes that vastly inflated the amount of money saved.

The GOP in Congress actually has a plan to raise your bank fees—starting with overdraft fees.

They’re siding with big banks.

That’s on top of Trump and DOGE working to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that fights for the middle class.

Democrats are fighting for you.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

The White Plains Social Security office is slated to close. Closing this busy office creates barriers to seniors and the disabled in accessing necessary services. Please speak up. Contact your reps and our Senators.

🚨 Trump & Musk’s DOGE purge is gutting Veterans’ jobs.

They love to wave the flag, but behind closed doors, they’re gutting Veterans’ jobs and livelihoods. All while calling it “efficiency.”

They aren’t supporting Veterans—they’re selling them out.
