Since February, we have received over 19,000 letters, DMs, emails, and calls โ€” and we are working hard to get back to you. Here are just a few notes we have received from neighborsโ€ฆ

Social Security to require millions to make claims in person rather than by phone The change is expected to create new hardships as Trump and Musk push massive cuts to the agency that serves elderly and disabled Americans.

Trump and Elon are removing phone support for elderly and disabled people who need help with their Social Security benefits.

This is not a cost-saving measure โ€” this is a step to make it harder for you to get your hard-earned money. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

ICYMI: Joined @pattymurray.bsky.social to raise the alarm about Congressional Republicansโ€™ proposed cuts to Medicaid. In Washington state, over 1.8 million people rely on Medicaid โ€” including nearly 126k neighbors who call the 6th District home. I will always fight to protect this essential program.

Share Your Story The Trump administration has issued a number of executive orders and memos that are already affecting many union members, federal workers and people all across the country. Thatโ€™s why we are collect...

Are you a federal worker that has been impacted by DOGE? Have federal programs that you and your community rely on been cut?

We want to hear your story: act.aflcio.org/forms/share-...

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublicaโ€™s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texasโ€™ abortion ban.

More gut-wrenching data that shows what happens when Republicans ban abortion: more women hospitalized for PREVENTABLE conditions, more women miscarrying, more women dead.

Republicans want to control women's lives and bodiesโ€”no matter the consequences. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Trump is firing thousands upon thousands of VETERANS for no reason at all. These men & women put their lives on the line for our country and they do critical work, many of them serving other veterans! Trump and Muskโ€™s reckless firing spree is beyond despicable.

Trump & Musk are randomly firing people who:

โžก๏ธtrack bird flu & other disease outbreaks
โžก๏ธmanage nuclear weapons
โžก๏ธconduct lifesaving cancer research
โžก๏ธfight wildfires
โžก๏ธensure planes land safely
โžก๏ธ& more.

It doesnโ€™t "cut waste." It creates inefficiency & costs MORE down the line.

This is happening because Elon Musk tweeted to kill the December funding bill & all the bipartisan health policies Congress negotiated fell apart.

Expanding telehealth brings DOWN costs. It makes health care MORE efficient, and itโ€™s SO important for rural patients.

While Trump is busy making problems worse, trampling our laws, and quoting dictators, Senate Republicans are turning a blind eye andโ€”no they arenโ€™t focused on the price of eggsโ€”they're SPRINTING to pass tax cuts for billionaires.

Spending isn't a โ€œconspiracyโ€ just because Musk doesnโ€™t know how to read usaspending.gov.

A program isn't waste just because it doesnโ€™t help the richest man in the world.

It isn't fraud just because he doesnโ€™t like it.

A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

The scale and scope of Trump and Elonโ€™s purge of federal workers will set our country back decades.

You can't just fire everyone, gut critical agencies, halt funding to organizations across the country and think there wonโ€™t be massive consequences.
