I'm taking a friend to the library today to renew her card. Her news this week is that in this treacherous MAGA world she finally got a date for a SSI disability hearing. I wouldn't want to be trying to thread that needle right now, but it has taken about three years to get here and the payment will be retroactive from when she started the process. She is one of those who would certainly fall through the cracks with the cuts to Medicare if she is dropped, but if she is on paper truly disabled hopefully the insurance stays as well. Staying out of trouble these days comes with a political component.
