It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

Senate Republicans once again showed us their true colors last night. They want to pay for tax breaks for their rich corporate friends by defunding your Medicaid and Medicare. Unreal.

This data is way too limited but this could be a cure for pancreatic cancer. How can we know if it is? And if it is, how can we access it? By funding scientific research. And with health agencies that can review data to ensure safety & efficacy, approve new treatments, & make sure they are covered.

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.
