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 decadesβ€”closing voting centers, purging voters, etc.

Call your senators and say HELL NO

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.

A picture of a tweet from Mike Lawler claiming that the SAVE Act doesn’t stop people from voting or registering to vote. While technically true, places an added burden on married women who change their name and anyone registering to vote by requiring proof of citizenship.

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

Lawler is lying. Again.

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.

DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week The cuts, highlighted on an earlier version of the β€œwall of receipts” posted by Elon Musk’s team, contained mistakes that vastly inflated the amount of money saved.

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 β€” and when DOGE did not yet exist."

Republicans In Congress Actually Have A Plan To Raise Your Bank Fees
YouTube video by Senator Chuck Schumer Republicans In Congress Actually Have A Plan To Raise Your Bank Fees

The GOP in Congress actually has a plan to raise your bank feesβ€”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.

🚨 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 β€œefficiency.”

They aren’t supporting Veteransβ€”they’re selling them out.
