Trump wants to end Medicaid services for children with physical, developmental or cognitive disabilities. This includes $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, which funds services to disabled children, including speech, occupational and physical therapy, wheelchairs, in-home aides and medical care.

MAGA Sen. Bill Cassidy — a doctor — shrugged off RFK Jr.’s dangerous, debunked vaccine lies with “life is lived forward.” That’s not leadership. That’s a coward’s cop-out with real public health consequences. Able Dems rejects this moral bankruptcy. We fight for leaders with integrity & compassion.

On a holiday dedicated to goodwill and giving thanks, Trump once again used the word “retarded”, directing it towards Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the father of a neurodivergent son. At Able Dems, this fight is personal: www.abledems.org

Disabled Americans aren’t collateral damage. Every cut to benefits, every “streamlined” service, every rollback of rights hits real people. Able Dems won’t let any party take disabled voters for granted. Protect our care. Defend our rights:

♿️ Disabled Americans are done being an afterthought. From healthcare to housing, access isn’t a luxury — it’s a right. Yet every budget fight and shutdown threat puts our lives on the line. Let's elect leaders who see disability rights as human rights 💙

Costs are soaring — and for Americans with disabilities, “affordability” isn’t just a talking point. Prices hit hardest when you already face barriers to healthcare, transportation, and accessible housing. It's time to fight for leaders who understand that disability justice is economic justice. ♿

This is hideous. The Supreme Court is allowing Trump to enforce its anti-transgender, anti-nonbinary passport policy, forcing every passport to list a person’s so-called “biological sex.” This unsigned order is abusive. It’s an attack on human rights, dignity, and freedom. buff.ly/gwwYKPT

Trump’s team is quietly plotting to gut Social Security. They want to delay disability benefits by 10 years, raise the retirement age, and privatize the program — while claiming they’ll “protect” it. Don’t buy the lie. Congress must stop this attack on seniors and workers. #ProtectSocialSecurity

Trump accepted $130 million from a billionaire “patriot” to pay our troops during his government shutdown. That amounts to less than ONE day of pay, but if Trump just let a private citizen fund our military, they become part of a private militia, and we no longer have a democracy.
