The Trump admin took Biden’s 10% clawback cap on Social Security overpayments (meant to protect the most vulnerable) scrapped it, jacked it up to 100%, and now “kindly” cut it to 50% to seem generous.
He’s not fixing the harm. He *is* the harm.

New Trump rule bars groups like League of Women Voters from registering new citizens at naturalization ceremonies...ending a decades-long tradition. This is voter suppression, plain and simple. Let's protect #VotingRights and ensure everyone can participate in our democracy.

RFK Jr. claims caused the Minneapolis school shooting. Vance echoed it. But science says otherwise: only 4% of shooters took antidepressants vs 11.4% of Americans. No data links SSRIs to violence. Guns do. Not meds. Let’s stop this blame‑shift.

GOP playbook: when it’s white cishet men, it’s ‘mental health’ + ‘guns don’t kill people’ + ‘my 2A right.’ But when it’s a trans person? Suddenly we must restrict access. Facts: <0.1% of mass shooters are trans. This isn’t about safety, it’s scapegoating. #ProtectTransLives #WTFFriday
