Trump has launched broad attacks on disability protections, including anti-diversity executive orders, proposed special education rollbacks, and potential cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, and Medicare.

Disability advocates warn these actions could undo decades of progress, disproportionately harming millions who rely on federal support.
