Helping youth in foster care get access to their @SocialSecurity benefits is crucial to ensuring the best outcomes for them.

I’ve learned a lot helping my family get my dad into hospice but one of the biggest realizations I’ve had is that our country is facing a geriatric financial time bomb. It is absolutely insane how much elder care costs. For my family if we were to have someone 24/7 it’s $450k a year

Did you know the people who serve NYC's evictions are private contractors paid by the job, not public servants?
With evictions rising, some are asking, why? “That is not how government works,” @galeabrewer told me.

"Driver’s license suspensions take away the ability of low-income people to work and bring their children to appointments... [this] only makes it harder for them to work — and everyone is harmed under those circumstances." - Dan Hatcher (@PovertyLawProf)

In 2023, Donte Peoples was working as a truck driver and found out his driver's license was suspended for unpaid child support.
Peoples, though, had custody of his son and did not owe anything.
@MDLegalAid alleges he's not alone: tinyurl.com/4wa264ju (via @BaltimoreBanner)
“You end up in a situation where the child support agency that is supposed to exist to help children is actually spending state funds and federal funds in a way that causes harm” Hatcher said

While Trump feigns ignorance, Vance wrote the forward for this new pending book by Heritage Foundation President (architect of Project 2025), Kevin Roberts. Vance also gave it the attached review saying "it's time to circle the wagons and load the muskets" harpercollins.com/products/d…

So fun to watch my friend and colleague @SuterLaw receive an award from @MarylandOPD last night at their annual conference and to run into so many former students. @ubaltlaw is representing!

Md. has a month left to decide what to do about YesCare. Whatever the outcome, is there any hope of care improving for incarcerated people?
@PovertyLawProf: “I am concerned with the private actors. I’m even more concerned with the government actors that are letting it happen.”

Btw, YesCare's 5-year contract is set to expire at the end of this year.
.@PovertyLawProf said he has a multitude of concerns with the model and the financial maneuvers, but he was most disturbed by the actions of state government.
“They’re the ones deciding to enter these contracts and they’re the ones in charge of oversight,” Hatcher said.

One year since #MahsaAmini lost her life, the women of #Iran remain steadfast in their demands for equality and freedom from discrimination. There must be accountability for her death and for the acts of intimidation, violence and threats experienced by many women and girls since then!
