Is the #GOP plan to force elderly patients with dementia to work for their Medicaid benefits? I’m not sure reps proposing cuts understand that Medicaid covers long term care for people battling cognitive decline who have used up their savings.

DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds? RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?

A lot of my research focuses on informatics solutions that improve access for the uninsured and under-insured. My hope was that the number of people in this group would shrink. The proposed Medicaid cuts mean more uninsured & underinsured people :(. Including the elderly in nursing homes.

Just amazing: Trump grew angry over a Biden-era program with the word "equity" in its name, so he ended it. But a key part of the program was sending money to red states to expand internet access in rural/MAGA country. Now they might not get it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1950...

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
