CBC Members are recognizing Black Maternal Health Week.
Congresswomen Jennifer McClellan and Sydney Kamlager-Dove discussed the SAVE Act.

House Republicans passed the SAVE Act yesterday. It’s a clear-cut case of voter suppression and threatens Americans’ ability to access and participate in our democracy — all under the guise of “election security.”
I spoke with @repkamlagerdove.bsky.social on @wtfshow.bsky.social explaining why.

In Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove’s, “Is this sh*t legal?”:
Rep. James Clyburn appeared on CNN.
House Democrats held a press conference on enforcing the law in relation to “special government employees” and sent a demand to that effect.

By law, Elon Musk’s reign of terror as a “special government employee” should end on 5/30.
For all his actions, the appropriate HR function is immediate termination.
But if Trump fails to kick Elon out, @housedemocrats.bsky.social will take action to spare Americans further chaos and confusion.

On today’s Social Security Day of Action, the contrast is clear.
Trump, Musk, and DOGE are enacting backdoor cuts by cutting staff and phone service, and driving up wait times.
Democrats are working to protect and expand Social Security by making the wealthy pay their fair share.
