9. It's not just Trump.

This is something the reprehensible right has sought for decades.

I work with incapacitated adults pursuing SSI and SSDI claims.

I’ve heard the lies from the right over the years: that the system is nothing but fraud, that those seeking benefits are criminals, liars, dishonest, lazy.

Republicans advance the same lies about those established disabled by the SSA – as such, Republicans try to deny those disabled access to services they’re entitled to and allow the disabled to be discriminated against, denying those disabled access to disability lawyers is another manifestation to that.
