♿Social Security is NOT just for Seniors. It's also for people like me with Disabilities, people who receive Survivors Benefits & Veterans who receive Social Security benefits.
Before I became disabled, I PAID into the program with EVERY paycheck. There are MILLIONS more like me & it is OUR MONEY!♿

I DEPEND on Medicaid as do MILLIONS. We ALL know someone who does and will be directly or indirectly affected by these DANGEROUS & HARMFUL cuts to the program!
Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid.
This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid.
It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

Trump said in an interview with Elon Musk that he wouldn't touch Medicaid. Hours later he endorsed a GOP plan that could slash the program.
Donald Trump said he would "love and cherish" Medicaid. He's endorsed a House GOP proposal that would likely gut the program.

Breaking news: Inflation is higher now under Trump than it was for the entire second half of last year under Joe Biden.
MAGA: That’s right baby!! Daddy’s home! Trump 2024!
Because it is a cult of willful fucking stupids.

I think it's a safe bet that supporting ELLs is not going to be high on the new administration's priority list
My colleague and I explain the various ways the U.S. Department of Education supports English learners (i.e. what’s at stake if ED is eliminated). Spoiler alert: it's a lot. www.newamerica.org/education-po...
Understanding the U.S. Department of Education’s Role in Supporting English Learners
A range of English learner programs and funding sources are under threat if Trump dismantles the Department of Education.

Telling a news radio station what it can and cannot report live is a pretty wanton violation of its First Amendment protections.
The FCC has opened an investigation into a radio station's news coverage of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

This is very fucked up.
They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Self-gelding Republicans are telling you that the American people “voted for Elon” when they didn’t and that what he’s doing all up in our financial business is “good”, when it is isn’t, so that the really fucking bad, democracy ending shit he does next, doesn’t seem so bad.
