Trump Tries to Seize ‘Affordability’ as Americans’ Economic Worries Grow The issue has buoyed Democrats and is resonating with an American electorate that is souring on the president’s economic agenda.

Here's the thing. If we don't make it crystal clear that this guy is a lying, snake-oil salesman, people will go on believing him. We must pick up and own the mantle of an all-inclusive, working class.

Federal workers must now 'clearly' show support for Trump on year-end reviews: report The Trump administration has added a new requirement to its performance reviews this year that requires workers in the Department of Health and Human Services to produce evidence that they “clearly…

Trump is forcing employees at HHS to prove their loyalty by showing they “clearly and demonstrably support implementation” of his agenda.

This isn’t just bureaucratic policy; it’s coercion. The independence of our civil service is under attack.

Scoop: Dominion Voting sold to company run by ex-GOP election official Dominion is one of the biggest election equipment providers and was used by 27 states during the 2024 election.

⚠️ Dominion Voting Systems, the company that runs voting machines in 27 states, was just sold to a former Republican election official.

For those with disabilities, who already face barriers to access, this isn’t abstract. It’s a threat to our rights and our voice in democracy!

Senate advances plan to end historic shutdown in bipartisan breakthrough The framework lawmakers agreed to Sunday night would not guarantee an extension of the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits.

🚨 We haven’t fought and organized for this. Disabled Americans are still waiting for healthcare, food assistance, and basic support — and Democrat’s “deal” does nothing to fix it.

This isn’t compromise. It’s abandonment.

“You’re Dead, Liberal”: Federal Agent Threatens to Shoot Veteran Federal agents in Chicago, alongside Trump’s Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, feel empowered to do whatever they want.

A masked federal agent pointed a gun at a peaceful combat veteran protesting the ICE invasion of Chicago and sneered, “Bang, bang. You’re dead, liberal.”

That isn’t law enforcement, it’s political terror. They believe power means impunity.

Red State Workers Could Lose Out on Disability Benefits as Trump Administration Rewrites Eligibility Rules Planned changes to Social Security’s disability program could leave hundreds of thousands of older blue-collar workers ineligible for aid. These changes would fall disproportionately on some of…

Trump just made it harder for people with disabilities to qualify for benefits — especially in red states.

Millions could lose access to the programs they depend on to survive. This should be illegal. Disability rights are human rights.

Democracy Now! (@democracynow.org) Evanston mayor @danielbiss.bsky.social is launching investigations into reports of immigration agents brutalizing community members. “They appear to have just started beating people up for no reason.”

ICE agents have been brutalizing community members across Evanston, Ill.

“They appear to have just started beating people up for no reason,” says Evanston Mayor @danielbiss.bsky.social.

This must end now.

For too long, people with disabilities have been treated as an afterthought — talked about, rarely listened to.

Able Dems is changing that. We’re electing Dems with disabilities who fight for accessibility and equality at every level. ♿️

Because representation isn’t charity — it’s democracy. 💙

2 National Guard Members Say They Would Defy Orders to Deploy to Chicago: 'This Is Not What We Signed Up To Do' Two members of the Illinois National Guard, Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek and Capt. Dylan Blaha, have said they would defy federal orders to deploy to Chicago as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown…

When Trump ordered the National Guard to aid ICE in Chicago, two officers refused — saying, “It feels illegal. This isn’t what we signed up to do.” 🇺🇸

That’s courage: standing up for the Constitution, not blind obedience. At Able Dems, we’re fighting for that same integrity.

The Trump Administration Is Leveraging the Shutdown to Gut the Office of Special Education Programs The Hechinger Report covers one topic: education. Sign up for our newsletters to have stories...

Trump is taking a sledge hammer to the programs that protect children with disabilities.

The Office of Special Education, the backbone of support for more than 7 million students, is being gutted. Staff fired. Programs halted. Families left to fend for themselves.

The Democrats Just Took a Big Step Toward Getting Their Groove Back Victories in New York City, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere were decisive, but new political tests loom for a party still rebuilding its brand.

💙 WE DID IT!!The blue wave is rolling — from VA, NJ, NY, PA, GA, and CA, voters stood up for inclusion, equality, and democracy. ♿️

This victory belongs to everyone who believes in access, representation, and justice for all.

Trump’s team is quietly plotting to gut Social Security.

They want to delay disability benefits by 10 years, raise the retirement age, and privatize the program — while claiming they’ll “protect” it.

Don’t buy the lie. Congress must stop this attack on seniors and workers.

Donor Who Gave $130 Million to Pay Troops Is Reclusive Heir to Mellon Fortune Timothy Mellon is a billionaire and a major financial backer of President Trump.

Trump accepted $130 million from a billionaire “patriot” to pay our troops during his government shutdown.

That amounts to less than ONE day of pay, but if Trump just let a private citizen fund our military, they become part of a private militia, and we no longer have a democracy.

Republican Rep Claims Everyone at “No Kings” Protest Is a Terrorist This is how the Republicans begin to dismantle the First Amendment.

Millions of us — including thousands with disabilities — marched for democracy. GOP response? Call us “terrorists.” 🙄

Sorry, demanding access, equality, and democracy isn’t extremism — it’s patriotism. ♿🇺🇸

#AbleDems #NoKingsDay #DisabilityRights

Trump and his allies sit on billions while millions lose food assistance, healthcare, and access. Disabled Americans are hit first — and hardest.

As they build gold ballrooms, we’re fighting for dignity, equity, and representation.

Able Dems stands with every American left out by their greed. ♿

Some villains wear masks — others wear suits and call cuts to disability programs “reform.” 😈

This Halloween, we're fighting back against a government that dismisses accessibility and equality.

Let'smake sure everyone gets a seat at the table — no tricks, just justice ♿️

'It's a dictatorship': Lawmaker fears future Dems may never be sworn in under Mike Johnson WASHINGTON — Former House Leader Steney Hoyer (D-MD) warned this week that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) could be slow-walking Congress into an era where he refuses to swear in more members of the…

🚨 Rep. Hoyer just warned that Republicans could refuse to seat newly elected Democrats if they hold Congress.

This is a dictatorship in disguise. We must elect Democrats who’ll defend every voter and every voice.

Billboard image: Republicans SLASHED Cancer Research, FIRE TILLIS with photo of Sen. Thom Tillis.

Our new billboard blasting Republicans for slashing cancer research is live on NC-147 in Durham, North Carolina – a major hub for cancer and medical research where vulnerable Republican Sen. Thom Tillis faces a TOSS-UP re-election battle.

We'll be back with more billboards calling Republicans out.
