Americans deserve timely, reliable service from the #SocialSecurity Administration, not longer wait times caused by reckless #DOGE & #Trump cuts. #Congress must hold the Trump administration accountable and ensure the #SSA has the staff and resources to serve every senior! @warren.senate.gov
A new Trump rule could force terminally ill and medically frail people to navigate a bunch of red tape to prove they cannot work — or be kicked off of Medicaid. That's not fiscally sound; it's cruel. #trump #healthcare #medicaid #trumpadmin
