Yesterday I testified in full House Ed & Workforce committee on "Unleashing" America's workforce and strengthening the economy. (I was clear that none of the administration's priorities have anything to do with unleashing America's workforce or strengthening the economy.)

Congress is now considering massive cuts to Medicaid. But this program covers 1 in 3 Kentuckians, demonstrably improves health, pays for nearly half of all births, & keeps the doors open at hospitals and health clinics all across Kentucky. 1/

Missed this at the time but here’s another example of a WH staffer calling Elon Musk the “head of DOGE” even though the government has claimed in court that Musk is neither an employee of DOGE nor the administrator of DOGE and that he doesn’t have the power to do anything other than advise Trump

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Raise a glass to the pharma giant Abbvie. The company's latest annual report, released last week, tells us that while the company made $3.7 billion of pretax profits worldwide in 2024, it lost $7.7 billion in the US. This obviously means Abbvie banked a cool $11.4 billion outside the US. (1/x)

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"
