Trump and Elon are decimating the Social Security Administration, and without adequate staff, there will be people who can’t get their benefits—period. An unaccountable billionaire is going after Social Security. Senate Democrats are fighting back.

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.” Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

NEW: RFK Jr.'s "radical transparency" means ending a 54-year-old transparency policy. A Nixon-era policy gave the public the ability to comment on HHS decisions relating to “public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts.“ RFK Jr. ended that on Friday. www.lawdork.com/p/rfk-jr-rad...

Last night, 217 of the 218 House Republicans voted to take your money and give it to billionaires. If you’re represented by a Republican, they need to hear from you TODAY — tell your GOP representative that you don’t want to pay the price for their billionaire tax breaks. 👇

99% of House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid so they can lower taxes for the richest 1%. They’re showing you exactly who they’re working for.

Medicaid provides 40% of the funding for community health centers. Medicaid supports 2 out of 3 people in nursing homes. Medicaid provides health care to 41 million children. Trump and his Republican friends want to enact massive cuts to the program. We won't let them.

Last week, House Republicans held an all-day budget markup on their top priority: making YOU pay for more than $4 trillion in tax breaks for the richest 1%. And in order to do that, they’re going to cut the programs that benefit America’s poor and working families.

Let’s be extremely clear about what is happening at USAID: The President is letting the wealthiest individual on the planet tear apart an organization that provides MEDICINE and FOOD to the poorest children on Earth.
