Trump’s Treasury Secretary has admitted that the GOP tax law has “a backdoor to privatizing Social Security.”
Republicans are still scheming to steal away our hard-earned & hard-won Social Security. Democrats are fighting to protect & enhance the benefits Americans have relied upon for 90 years.

So much for lowering prices on Day One! Grocery bills are sky-high and Trump’s tariffs are only making it worse. Americans are hurting, 17 million people are about to lose their Medicaid and the GOP is handing out tax cuts to billionaires.
Trump’s disrespect for veterans and their families, which began long ago with his trash-talking John McCain, continues with this rampage of union-busting and deception. Congress must stop Trump’s attack on VA workers, many of them vets and all of them serving veterans.
Repost if you think Hegseth shouldn't be allowed to vote.

MD State Senator (D-17) for Rockville and Gaithersburg, nonprofit advocate extraordinaire, Scrabble aficionado and this week’s Local Hero Cheryl Kagan is playing in the 2025 Scrabble Players Championship in Maryland this coming week. Good luck, Cheryl—go Free State!
Thanks, @jackcocchiarella.bsky.social, for exploring the wilds of Maryland and Washington with me in Rock Creek Park near the Boundary Bridge which allows safe passage from Occupied Washington back to the Free State.

I thoroughly enjoyed greeting friends, neighbors, police, firefighters and activists at National Night Out celebrations in Olney, East County and Lyttonsville. Public safety is a community responsibility and we’re all grateful to our first responders.
While MAGA pursues extreme gerrymandering and one-party rule, we mark the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act and rededicate ourselves to strong representative democracy without voter suppression and partisan lockups.
My district team was thrilled to meet MoCo Councilmember Dawn Luedtke and her staff to discuss the importance of teamwork in providing essential constituent services. Thank you, CM Luedtke!
I'm joining Jews across America and organizations like the National Council of Jewish Women to rally against the GOP's outrageous tax bill.
Tikkun olam demands our refusal to sit idly by as the SNAP food assistance and Medicaid health care Americans depend on is destroyed.
Former Mossad, Shin Bet and IDF leaders join most of the world in demanding an immediate end to the Gaza war, saying it’s now an unjust, immoral and futile war of destruction guided by 'messianic and extremist goals' and threatening ‘the loss of Israel's security and freedom.’ It must end now.
MAGA's packed-and-stacked Supreme Court opened the door to extreme partisan gerrymandering in the states. Democrats must use every tool at our disposal to stop this Orbán-style one-party takeover of our government.
The whole world’s watching this ludicrous coverup unfold as Trump’s team moves convicted sex offender Maxwell to a minimum security camp after Trump’s lawyer found she answered all his questions correctly. Nobody’s falling for this fraud—release the files.

Trump’s illegal tariffs and budget-busting billionaire tax cuts have run down U.S. job growth but, instead of pulling back from these blunders, an inflamed Trump just blamed the messenger and fired the Commissioner of Labor Statistics.
This week's MD-08 Local Heroes are Elaine Lamirande and Kit Gage of Friends of Sligo Creek. We honor their daily commitment to preserving and beautifying the Creek even through the ravages of climate change, heavy rainfall and flooding.
Secretary McMahon is throwing the Department of Education in the trash because President Trump told her to. Now, she's overseeing one of ED's largest mass firings yet.
We must defend America’s students, teachers and schools against MAGA's corrupt agenda.
MoCo, stay safe and stay inside if you can. Sending my deep gratitude to the first responders who are helping Marylanders in harm’s way during this dangerous flooding.
Today we celebrate 60 years of Medicare and Medicaid, two great programmatic achievements of democracy in America. MAGA just cut millions of people off Medicaid to give billionaires tax cuts, but we’ll work to repeal their dreadful bill and restore the health of our people.

Profoundly saddened by a mass shooting in NYC killing 4 people, including a police officer. We must never accept the lie that gun casualties are the price of constitutional freedom. May the memories of the lost be a blessing to friends & family & a reminder to all of us to act.
