My Pitt colleagues and I combined Medicaid data and Cook PVI and visualized this Medicaid dashboard. It may prove useful in bringing attention to the harms caused by the proposed cuts, and respective members’ vulnerability. shiny.crc.pitt.edu/congressiona...

It's all funny until it's not. Most of us never found any of this dangerous fascist playbook a bit funny as it plays out more & more right before our eyes. Convenient that some have a "defense mechanism" they use to justify their chuckles but to be fucking clear... NONE OF THIS IS FUNNY. PERIOD. 🤬

Trump calls it his “big, beautiful bill.” The nerds call it “reconciliation.” I call it the “Billionaires Win, Families Lose Plan.” It means massive tax breaks for billionaires and huge cuts to health care for working families. I’m in this fight all the way to stop it.

For those who were not raised with decent “home training”, the only proper response at a time like this is to express sympathy and well wishes. And if you can’t do that, silence works.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Republicans are lying when they say their budget plan will pay for itself. It will add trillions to our national debt, while cutting services families rely on like Medicaid & food assistance. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

They’re skipping the whole “confirm they’re here illegally” part. My family and I got no due process when they put us inside a Japanese American internment camp for years because we looked like the enemy.

I am often critical of legacy media, but we all owe a debt of gratitude to the 60 Minutes team, Bill Owens and now Wendy McMahon for standing up for what is right while CBS's owner prepares for total surrender and capitulation. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/b...

Leave Biden alone and count your blessings if you don’t know cancer. He’s a good man who’s suffered more tragedy than most, yet managed to honorably serve his country for most of his life. Be decent.
