I want to emphasize that this is 18,000 avoidable deaths per year of Medicare enrollees. They aren't in CBO's "uninsured" count — they're older people and folks with disabilities on Medicare who won't get extra financial help because of a proposed moratorium on a regulation.

Look at the take for the top 0.1% (those making above $4.3M/yr). Then look at the take for the rest of Americans. This bill is a heist.

Harvard correctly understands that it’s in a fight for its life and there is no appeasement that will save it. I wish a lot more institutions understood this.

It’s crucial to keep emphasizing that these EOs were lawless. There was never a plausible argument they were constitutional. This administration has nothing but contempt for the constitution and the rule of law.

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. We can stop this. We have to.

House Republicans are apparently trying to pass the bill tonight at like 5:30am Without knowing: how many people lose health insurance, how many people lose food assistance, how many Americans come out ahead/behind, which types of Americans come out ahead/behind, or even what the bill costs.

If you were following along with the budget bill hearing early this morning, the Democrats were correct. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office confirms: The GOP budget would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion in a decade, help the rich & lower the income of the lowest 10%.

Simply put, Trump and his elected sycophants known as the Republican Party, want to fuck you while you are asleep and in the middle of the night. It is almost like half the country has been drugged and won't notice or respond.

🚨According to litigators, ICE just put a dozen men on a flight (which may have already taken off) to SOUTH SUDAN, a country on the brink of civil war, in direct defiance of a court order requiring ICE to give people an opportunity to raise objections before being sent to a country not their own.
