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

Rep. Judy Chu@chu.house.gov · last yr.

Donald Trump & Elon Musk are gutting Social Security, ignoring the millions who depend on it. Jammed phone lines, constant website crashes, field office closures, and countless employees fired. Trump & Musk lit a match and are threatening your earned benefits. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: Democrat James Malone won a shocking, historic special election victory in Pennsylvania’s Senate District 36 — 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."

Stupid is as stupid does. The frivolity with which senior national security leaders in this Administration handle sensitive information is shocking. What other non-government officials have been included on similar group chats?

Trump’s latest attack on Social Security could lead to longer wait times and cause “significant” payment disruptions — 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 — jeopardizing the future of 50 million public school students for generations.

A new report from Yale Budget Lab shows how Donald Trump and Republicans are working to line the pockets of the ultra-wealthy with another round of tax handouts — raising costs on working families in order to “actively transfer money” to the richest Americans. budgetlab.yale.edu/news/250319/...

"Trump and the billionaire megadonor he installed as Education Secretary are pickpocketing our public schools, which will lead to ballooning class sizes, fewer teachers and aides, and a lower quality of education for our kids.” - DNC Chair Ken Martin.

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

House Republicans voted for a budget that could take away school lunch from 30 million kids.

Trump kept claiming this is America's “golden age” — 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.

Trump addresses a joint session of Congress tomorrow night. Remember: He promised no cuts to Medicaid or Social Security. Now, he's put Medicaid on the chopping block while DOGE threatens to slash the Social Security Administration. Join us for Fight Back Friday! www.mobilize.us/canyondems/e...

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.

House Democrats refuse to vote for the Republican budget that slashes Medicaid and betrays the middle class.

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

Republicans 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 – all to fund his billionaire tax handouts. A forum last night in Tustin put a focus on family impact.

Trump is already trying to carry out his unpopular Project 2025 agenda to abolish the Department of Education — and he’s tapped unqualified billionaire donor Linda McMahon to help him make it happen. Diverse and equitable public schools are the target here!

Meanwhile, in North Carolina, the DNC filed an opposition brief to stop Republicans’ attempt to steal an election in plain sight at taxpayers’ expense.
