The numbers of people in *every* state who will be affected by Medicaid cuts at the $2T scale in the House budget is truly devastating. This will mean: *Nearly complete loss of rural health care *Inability to pay for elder care in nursing homes *Death sentences for those with chronic disease

The United States is now an open kleptocracy. The Constitution has been suspended to allow the wealthiest man in the world to loot and destroy the federal government.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

One of the key points of non-violent direct action is to force the authorities to stop you -- to force their hand, to make them arrest you, and yes, perhaps even make them lash out in violence -- and to broadcast those images to an otherwise apathetic public. Be confrontational, not compliant.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more. - US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID - $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes. - Food stranded in Houston - Aid stopped in transit. The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

“President Trump regards people who take their constitutional oath seriously as, by definition, his political enemies. His attack on public service is not about reform; it’s a first strike against a key obstacle to authoritarianism” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Agree with this, from @radiofreetom.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com about the least qualified nominee for major cabinet post in modern history. (OK, if Matt Gaetz were still in the running, would be a close call.) www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

If your reaction is “lol why now” you are correct. By leaving this til the last minute, the SEC is handing the mess to the incoming administration, letting Trump decide whether to pursue a case against a top donor www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/t...
