83 million Americans get health care through Medicaid.

submitted 1 day ago • 16 comments

Apparently the bill cutting Medicaid and SNAP to fund billionaire tax breaks would lead to 4% FEWER household resources for the poorest Americans. The richest 10% would see an INCREASE in resources. They're not trying to fix the economy for us. They're trying to steal from us.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day. As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations. See what this was about?

Republicans’ budget bill earmarks a staggering $45 billion for immigrant detention centers. The biggest beneficiaries? Private prison companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group – who both donated hefty sums to Trump’s inauguration. Always follow the money.

Casar: "The only way to push back on this is for Democrats to be really clear that if we win back a majority, we aren't just going to let bygones be bygones. We have to go and investigate who paid Trump, who paid Musk, who made money off of these pardons because that is really serious."

Oh for the good old days when every editorial board in America LOUDLY demanded the Clintons shut down their charitable organization for fear it would be used to curry favor w/Hillary if she became President 🙃

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

Trump erupted when questioned about a luxury jet gifted by Qatar, an ethically dubious move possibly tied to diplomatic favors. We break it down.

A coalition of 27 Senate Democrats have already introduced a resolution condemning the transfer. But as Ryan Goodman of Just Security argued this week, that may be approaching the problem from the wrong end.

As I often said to friends who backed Trump in 2024 for pro-Israel reasons ... Trump has broken faith with everyone else on this earth fool enough to trust him, wives, creditors, everyone. Why do you imagine you'll be any different?

First they came after the law firms And I said nothing Then they came after universities And I said nothing Then they came after nonprofits And I said nothing. Then they disappeared students who they disagreed with And I said nothing Then they came after me.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

Growing up, my family relied on Medicaid and SNAP when times got tough. Republicans plan to cut those essential lifelines in order to give tax cuts to billionaires. They don’t care about you.

NYTimes citing StopAntisemitism is no different than if they had cited the KKK as a civil rights org. Truly sickening they’re legitimizing this hate group. @marcatracy.bsky.social do you even know the background of this group beyond your cursory description of their funders?

Republicans want to give the Trump Administration unrestrained authority to strip tax-exempt status from any non-profit organization without due process, essentially giving them the power to shut down organizations they disagree with. This is beyond dangerous.

How does the administration imagine the sarcastic hero art will help them counter the “Maryland dad” narrative? It makes more sense when you consider the other side—the movement in support of Abrego Garcia, and the growth of its visual component.

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

Taxing millionaires like us, and having us pay our fair share is one of the most patriotic things our country can ask of us. We are greedy for a country that is favorable towards working people and allows them to thrive, not be taxed into poverty. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

Last night's town hall with @votevets.org reminded me why conversations like this matter - and why a better future is still possible, but it's up to each of us to make it a reality.
