Earlier this fall, I joined a letter calling on President Trump to stop his plan to restrict eligibility for Social Security disability assistance and massively cut benefits. Today, I’m proud to say that our pressure worked.
I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me
It’s been one week since Republicans shut down the government.
