Kicking low income folks off health coverage in order to pay for tax cuts for corps and the rich folks. It just doesn't seem like a good plan for mid year election success.

@menendez.house.gov sets the record straight on Republicans' red tape requirements. This isn't about work—it's about kicking people off their health care.

Good article about Medicaid work requirements. It's a real challenge for the working poor, the disabled, the caregivers, to complete a single renewal much less two in a year. It's just sneaky way to kick folks off Medicaid. The number of insured will skyrocket over the next 4 years. wapo.st/4klmVlX

No one has been returned from CECOT even as we learn more and more about the arbitrary and illegal nature of this operation. The Republicans continue to stonewall the courts. Don’t let this story slip from view.

The entirety of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health was wiped out last night in a form letter sent by RFK Jr. NIOSH is an agency in the CDC that investigates workplace hazards and finds solutions. It protects workers, so it’s gone. Even firefighters.

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.
