Kamala Harris ran on the biggest expansion to Medicare in modern history and personally advocated for expanding Medicaid. In response, voters elected the leader of the party that is about to gut Medicaid and the ACA. So much for "just give us healthcare", huh?

Remember the pandemic that Trump mismanaged? Kids in rural areas sat in fast food parking lots to get WiFi to attend school. Dems passed & Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act for reliable Internet access for everyone. On day one, Trump reversed it.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

The Congressional Budget Office just released new numbers: this budget bill would cut almost $1 TRILLION from Medicaid. That means millions losing their health care. Everyone else paying more. Hospitals closing and jobs lost. This is a disaster for working families.

The masked agents pull up quickly. They jump out of unmarked vans. They wear blue jeans or battle fatigues. They approach Latinos, yelling and carrying assault rifles. If someone runs, they’re taken. If they don’t answer a question, they’re taken. If they can’t produce papers, they’re taken.

Huge turnout in the Everglades for a protest against Alligator Alcatraz, the Ron DeSantis tent prison for migrants. It’s ominous how fast they’re building it. Will cost $450 million and be ready very soon.

I've got a message for Mike Lee: Hands off our public lands. Mike is still working to sneak in his plan to sell off America's public lands into Trump's big bill. We can't let him succeed.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

Murray to Vought: This should be a yes or no. What I hear is all kind of word salad to make sure you are letting us know that you intend to do things that are outside the intent of the law.

Look...millions will lose their healthcare. Many will lose their nursing home and memory care rooms since Medicaid pays for the overwhelming majority of those but look...having Great Grandma wander the house is good for family. They will forget all about it in a year and a half...right?

New in PN: The Roberts Court exists to give legal cover to bigots "The best way to approach SCOTUS's decision in Skrmetti, which upheld Tennessee’s transphobic ban on gender-affirming care for minors, is to understand that the MAGA majority begins with their desired result and then works backward."
