It may take years for Social Security to recover from the damage being done by Trump/Musk just to make billionaires richer.

BREAKING: Democrat James Malone won a shocking, historic special election victory in Pennsylvania’s Senate District 36 β€” a district that went to Trump by 15 points and has a 23-point Republican voter registration advantage. Voters are fed up with the Trump-Musk agenda!

Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor of the Atlantic: "The reason I knew this (an impending U.S. attack) is that Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m. The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing."

Trump’s latest attack on Social Security could lead to longer wait times and cause β€œsignificant” payment disruptions β€” especially in rural areas. It's one step closer to Elon Musk’s goal of eliminating hard-earned benefits that working families earned while funding tax breaks for billionaires.

Trump is expected to sign an order aimed at fulfilling his wildly unpopular Project 2025 agenda of eliminating the Department of Education today β€” jeopardizing the future of 50 million public school students for generations.

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to partly allow birthright citizenship restrictions The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow restrictions on birthright citizenship to partly take effect while legal fights play out.

Trump's unconstitutional restrictions to birthright citizenship have been blocked by federal judges. Now, he is asking the Supreme Court to allow some of his restrictions while the legal battle plays out. You can't "partially" violate the Constitution. abc7.com/post/trump-a...

Cruelty and incompetence is what Trump and MAGA extremists bring to the table while taking food off of it for the benefit of billionaires. One of the 217 Repubs voting yes on this garbage is Orange County's CA-40 Rep. Young Kim. #unseatyoungkim

Trump kept claiming this is America's β€œgolden age” β€” but Americans disagree. Consumer confidence has fallen sharply, everyday costs are skyrocketing, and the GOP is pushing unpopular tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. A smug, dishonest State of the Union speech won't change that.

America's seniors are now added to the Trump/Musk cancel list. Musk has ordered the Social Security Administration to cut half its staff. Look for huge case backlogs, shuttered offices, and actual harm to our seniors. #socialsecurity #mysocialsecurity

The truth is: Rep. Young Kim's vote to advance $880 billion in Medicaid cuts will gut Medi-Cal, risking the lives of 67% of her constituents. We won't let her hide from the truth, and we won't let her get away with gutting Medi-Cal.

The Trump budget prioritizes a $4.5 trillion giveaway for billionaires while cutting Medicaid. Every House Dem, including 5 from OC, voted NO. Rep. Brittany Pettersen (CO-07) brought her newborn to the vote and Rep. Kevin Mullin (CA-15) arrived in a walker. Rep. Young Kim (CA-40) voted YES.

Republicans have made clear that instead of lowering costs for working families, they’d rather push through Donald Trump’s plans to gut health care for seniors, kids, and American families who are already struggling to make ends meet – all to fund his billionaire tax handouts.

MAGA Republicans’ proposed cuts to Medicaid would devastate roughly 22 million Americans in states that expanded Medicaid and decimate rural communities across the country.

Our whole economy will suffer with the shutdown of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Everyone benefits when markets stay strong and consumers aren’t getting cheated. Who could be against that: Trump and the GOP.
