With Elon in charge, SSA clawed back $5,201 from an 82-year-old constituent of mine, Ned, who was falsely labeled as dead. Ned struggled to correct this mistake because Elon is firing SSA staff and shuttering offices. This is real waste, fraud, and abuse—thanks to Republicans.

Trump's EO will make it harder for students to get help with financial aid, jeopardize funding schools and families count on, & make it easier for predatory businesses to rip students off. Trump, Musk, and McMahon’s goal is clear: destroy public schools and enrich themselves.

Seniors are right to be furious at Trump and Elon for cutting staff and services and shuttering Social Security offices. When these out-of-touch billionaires break the Social Security Administration, they are stealing from YOU.

For most Americans, not getting their Social Security check would mean not being able to afford rent, groceries, their medication—or all three! But a billionaire cabinet secretary is saying if you complain about not getting the benefits you've EARNED, you're a fraudster.

That’s a shame that Skadden took away Rachel Cohen’s email access. Because after I read her LinkedIn post early this morning, I sent this email to her. If anyone is in touch with her, please forward this to her. Thank you.

An important statement from @ACLU on the President's completely unacceptable attacks today on Norm Eisen and CREW. They rightly call this McCarthyism and it should be denounced by all believers in democracy, for which Norm and CREW are heroic champions. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall. I will never bow down.

We have already seen how Trump will threaten to cut off states and cities that disagree with him—and how Elon will warp government to benefit his companies and hurt his competitors. Voting against this CR is about our ability to be a voice for our constituents here in Congress.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling. You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy
