Every day is a fight, even if Democrats don’t know what they’re fighting for, U.S. Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet recently told her supporters in Flint.

At a rally to celebrate International Women’s Day, the freshman Democrat offered some advice for folks who aren’t sure what to do with themselves in President Donald Trump’s America.

“Every day, we have to get up and figure out what our fight of the day is,” McDonald Rivet told attendees. “And for some of us it’s calling a friend and saying, ‘I’m with you.’ For some of us, it’s making a contribution to the ACLU.”

The rally, along with another in Midland, illustrated how Democrats are “recommitted to fighting for bold policies, reproductive freedoms, and our communities,” McDonald Rivet posted to X. “Because women’s rights are human rights.”

Since the rally, McDonald Rivet has demonstrated how to create a fight if one doesn’t exist, then leverage the media to fearmonger over the imaginary problem.

“When we stand together, we can win,” the congresswoman posted to X on Friday. “I was glad to join @maddow tonight to talk about mid-Michigan standing up to save Saginaw’s Social Security office.”

In an attached video, McDonald Rivet laid out to MSNBC how she amplified concerns about cuts to the Social Security office in her district, before receiving confirmation from the Trump administration there’s no plans to slash services as she suggested.

“When we suddenly saw cuts to Social Security, elimination of the staff, talk of eliminating the phone services, … after being told over and over again Social Security was off the table, my office was bombarded with phone calls of very frightened people,” she told host Rachel Maddow.

“Didn’t get a great response from the letter, sent another letter, we called, marched, and finally on Tuesday held a press conference and just said, ‘enough is enough,’” She continued. “And I’m thrilled we have that victory. The White House came out and said they are not going to close this incredibly important office in my district.”

On Thursday, the White House blasted McDonald Rivet’s claims, making it clear the Saginaw office was never in jeopardy, and the administration has no plans to close any Social Security offices this year, WJRT reports.

“This no-name Congresswoman Rivet should pivot away from her freshman class antics and get serious about serving her constituents, not her desire to make news,” White House spokeswoman Liz Huston told the news site.

Huston pointed to an April 14 visit to Saginaw’s Social Security office by Lee Dudek, acting commissioner for the agency, who assured staff members at the time the office is not slated to close.

“Rivet should take a page from Michigan’s governor and work with President Trump, who Michiganders voted to reelect,” she said. “President Trump has repeatedly promised to protect and strengthen Social Security.”

Rivet defended her claims about the office’s imminent closure, pointing to letters sent on March 17 and April 22 requesting an update she said provided no clarity.

“Pettiness and name calling doesn’t change the fact the Trump Administration had plans to close the Saginaw Social Security office. It shouldn’t take two letters and seniors rallying in front of this building multiple times to convince the Administration how important this office is to our community,” McDonald Rivet said in a Thursday statement cited by WJRT.

“Keeping it open is a big win for mid-Michigan and a testament to what we can accomplish when we stand together,” she said. “Elon Musk and Congressional Republicans should know, if they try any further cuts to Social Security or Medicare, we will be right back out here to stop them.”
