Trump's Disability Cut Hits Red States Hardest (830K Affected)

Millions of Americans on Social Security Disability could soon be at risk — and most don’t even know it. A new ProPublica investigation reveals how the Trump administration is quietly changing the rules to make it harder to qualify for or keep disability benefits, especially in red states. In this video, Dr. Ed Weir — former Social Security insider — breaks down how these changes work, who’s most affected, and what you can do right now if your benefits are in danger. ✅ What’s really behind the new disability eligibility rules ✅ Why approval rates have dropped across the country ✅ How politics and policy are reshaping who gets help ✅ What to do if your claim is denied or your review is coming up This isn’t just a policy story — it’s about real people losing real help. Don’t wait until your next Continuing Disability Review to find out what’s changed. 💙 NEED REAL, HONEST MEDICARE HELP? Stop guessing. Stop being pressured by sales calls.
