Seniors are right to be furious at Trump and Elon for cutting staff and services and shuttering Social Security offices.
When these out-of-touch billionaires break the Social Security Administration, they are stealing from YOU.

Absolutely no one is asking for three out-of-touch billionaires to rip apart the Department of Education over some deranged far-right culture war.
Trump knows he can't abolish Ed without Congress—but by firing all the staff and smashing it to pieces, he's hoping for the same, devastating result.
A Republican government of the billionaires, for the billionaires, by the billionaires.
The most corrupt administration in American history and it’s not even close.
Trump & Musk took a wrecking ball to the Dept of Education. I was in Shoreline to talk about what it could mean for YOU: school districts having to lay off teachers, students & families unable to get help with financial aid, & even local tax rates going UP.
Keep speaking up for public schools.
I was at Shoreline Community College with parents and teachers to sound the alarm on Trump's war on public education.
These billionaires have fired half of the Dept of Education's staff—this will mean serious consequences for kids with disabilities, our public schools, & programs like Pell Grants.
Elon & DOGE are cutting Social Security phone services, reducing staff, & closing offices.
Making it harder for seniors & disabled Americans to get their benefits will keep YOU from getting the Social Security you're owed.
All while they push for more tax cuts for billionaires.
Don't forget: Trump is ripping away funding that helps schools feed kids, all while he demands massive tax cuts for billionaires.
He is literally stealing from the mouths of hungry children while working to shovel more cash into the pockets of the richest people in the world.
From weather forecasts to disaster response, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration does work that is absolutely foundational to our safety, economy, & everyday lives.
Trump & Elon's mass firings at NOAA are putting this work—and all of our lives and livelihoods—at risk.
VA research is THE reason we have all kinds of medical breakthroughs, from the pacemaker to the nicotine patch.
Veterans like Shawn know the value of VA research and how it saves lives, but Trump and Elon are decimating this work and firing VA researchers in droves.
In Washington state, our 4th and 5th Congressional Districts—the only two represented by Republicans—have the highest proportions of people who rely on Medicaid!
They will be hit hardest if Republicans succeed in their plan to dramatically slash Medicaid.
Good to meet with @housedemocrats.wa.gov & WA Senate Democrats in Olympia today. Trump & Elon's illegal power grab must be met with fierce resistance at every level of government.
Democrats must show that we are the party that will build a stronger economy and protect your fundamental rights.
Make no mistake: Medicaid saves lives.
I was with @repemilyrandall.bsky.social, State Senator Marcus Riccelli & others in Olympia to highlight how devastating it would be for rural communities, seniors, and children if Republicans go through with their plan to slash Medicaid funding.
I was in Olympia today to sound the alarm on Republicans' all-out assault on Medicaid that will cut Americans off of their health care, force rural hospitals to close their doors, & blow a massive hole in WA states' budget—all to line the pockets of their billionaire buddies.
Future is an Army veteran who did mission-critical work at VA Puget Sound until she was abruptly fired for no reason by Trump & Elon.
She shared how disheartening it is to hear the Trump administration smear veterans & VA employees as unfit.
Our veterans deserve better.
Ned still has yet to receive his benefits for March and February. You can read the full story here thanks to reporting by the Seattle Times. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
With Elon in charge, SSA clawed back $5,201 from an 82-year-old constituent of mine, Ned, who was falsely labeled as dead.
Ned struggled to correct this mistake because Elon is firing SSA staff and shuttering offices.
This is real waste, fraud, and abuse—thanks to Republicans.
Congresswoman Nita Lowey was a trailblazer. A tough-as-nails negotiator & the first woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones.
Rep. Lowey leaves behind an unforgettable legacy: a fighter for working people & women's rights.
Shawn works to support our veterans & their families in WA state.
Trump & Musk's funding freeze put his work on pause—cutting veterans off from lifesaving mental health resources. Now, the mass firings at VA are making it even harder for vets to get the care they were promised.
We’ve got to keep our fight and our focus on Trump and Elon’s illegal and dangerous power grab.
For the sake of our country, we cannot stand down.
When your mail is delayed, your medications arrive late, or your packages get lost—remember it’s because two billionaires decided to fire thousands of mail carriers and cut billions in essential funding for USPS for NO reason except to break government & enrich themselves.
