Energy & Commerce text is out. Will go through it in this thread. tl;dr: this'd be the largest Medicaid cuts in history, kicking millions off their health insurance, leading to tens of thousands of additional deaths each year LOTS of bad stuff in this (but the very worst policy did not make it in)

WATCH: “This is how Fox spreads disinformation. It’s sad to see Alexis McAdams be part of that machine.” Receipts of Fox News lying to their audience about the arrest of Mayor Ras Baraka with false headlines and selectively edited clips. As usual.

Search your email for “Vote Today in the D.C. Bar Election” and do it now.

@froomkin.bsky.social has the right idea here: A volunteer army tracking exactly what Trump is breaking, so we can fix it later. Lots of work is already happening, but a combined, organized, ongoing effort is crucial. It's a manifestation of faith in recovery, and a tool to help us get it done.
