We have some bad (okay, AWFUL) news:
Republican Mitt Romney's deceptively named "TRUST Act" is being attached to the next COVID-19 relief package by Mitch McConnell.
Here's what that really means for you: This bill will allow a private budget committee to exclusively make decisions and SLASH benefits from Social Security and Medicare behind closed doors! NO!!!

There truly has never been a more important time to take a stand against cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
Please, we need 10,000 signatures before 11:59 P.M. tonight, 7/24, to fight against Republicans' latest scheme to SLASH Social Security and Medicare. This is our biggest grassroots petition yet and we REALLY hope you'll sign it. >> (https://click.everyaction.com/k/18393248/226953549/-1983004903?refcode=VC_UD_20200724_EMPET_E1_T0-S0SL0C0_AC_SS-Medicare&nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNS8xLzgxNTI4IiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogImZhNzU2ZTYwLWVmY2QtZWExMS05YjA1LTAwMTU1Z DAzYmRhMCIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiZGFuYTkzN0BnbWFpbC5jb20iDQp9&hmac=3RZdlRpIPNDk8rzvR5JbyfNH0Xj_sP8yul55I_NLqpA=&emci=7cfe947c-6dcd-ea11-9b05-00155d03bda0&emdi=fa756e60-efcd-ea11-9b05-00155d03bda0&ceid=6146309)

Even the right acknowledges Medicare as one of the most successful programs the US government has ever had. And if Social Security were to be knocked down, in winter elderly people would be dying in refrigerator cartons. Here's an article on what's happening with Social Security and how to save it:
