McGovern: Democrats are making a series of procedural motions today to stop the consideration of this lousy, awful, disastrous bill… we will not stand by and watch Trump and his billionaire friends destroy this country without putting up one hell of a fight.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Everyone who cares about healthcare must fight back against these draconian cuts to Medicaid the House & Senate GOP majorities are trying to ram through Focus on home care, fill in knowledge gaps, call it what it really is: a job loss penalty — reject GOP's frame My latest at @dataforprogress.org:

If you're going to call your Representative, if you're going to ask anyone else in your network to call their Representative, you have to do it now. We expect a floor vote relatively soon — we're down to the final few hours.

We agree with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social — the House Republican bill would force 14 million people to: - Lose their health coverage - Result in higher copays/premiums/deductibles - Hospitals will close - Nursing homes will shut down - And people will die across the country #ProtectMedicaid

Rep. @frost.house.gov talked to us in the early hours of the morning about the budget bill some House Republicans are trying to ram through that would make drastic cuts to Medicaid. Call your Member of Congress and tell them not to cut a dime from Medicaid: (202) 224-3121

Rep @kathycastorfl.bsky.social says what’s on all our minds: “It’s been difficult to listen to, ‘No one’s going to lose coverage,’ but we know what the CBO has said!” See for yourselves what the nonpartisan CBO has determined about the impact of this disastrous bill: www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

“If you are serious about being pro-family, pro-mother and pro-life, then you MUST be serious about protecting Medicaid, and you must be honest about what’s at stake.” We join with @trahan.house.gov in calling on Republicans to prove that they are truly the pro-life party. How? #ProtectMedicaid

We’re talking a lot about Medicaid, but this bill is more than that. Little Lobbyists know how to fight for the ACA, and this bill threatens that, too. @scholten.house.gov : “I’m not closing my eyes. I’m paying attention to every single thing that is in here that is going to hurt … Americans.”

It’s a relief to hear reps calling out this bill’s language and pushing for amendments that actually protect people. As @repfields.bsky.social points out, these so-called “eligibility requirements” are just penalties for losing your job. Healthcare is a human right. That’s the hill we stand on.

At the US Capitol tonight folks gathered at 2 AM in the rain to tell Congress to protect Medicaid & SNAP. A person holds a sign saying “If you were doing the right thing you’d do it during the day.” Another person’s shirt reads “Our Healthcare. Our jobs. Our Communities.” It’s all on the line.
