I can't say enough about how devastating Trump's proposed budget is and how much destruction Republicans are intent on causing. And now... at least one Republican senator is going on the record to say that YES, cuts to Medicaid should be on the table! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQfL...

Hey, Republicans! An easy way to save trillions of dollars? Stop giving tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans! End tax cuts for the wealthy on schedule! No need to cut SNAP or Medicaid, stripping health insurance and food assistance from millions of people! www.cbpp.org/research/fed...

In response to mass shootings, Republicans always say it’s mental health and not the guns, but then they slash mental health funding anyway! “The Trump admin has halted $1 billion for mental health services for children, saying that the programs… were no longer in “the best interest of the fed gov.”

RFK used his position as Secretary of HHS to tell parents to “do your own research” on vaccines rather than encouraging them to trust experts & the work of actual scientists at HHS. He does not care about the death and destruction he’s causing with his constant promotion of debunked conspiracies.

Donald Trump's billion-dollar cut to federal food aid means more hungry people and panicked charitable orgs: "She said she had began to feel as if she were trapped in some grim reality cooking show, forced to turn a dwindling supply of federal aid into 600 meals a week, for as long she could."
