There are thousands of residents who are supposed to start in less than a month in hospitals across the US who cannot enter the country. There is going to be a major staffing crisis across the country but especially in rural and urban hospitals than rely on international medical graduates. #MedSky

Some gave all, and the President who dodged the draft and thinks veterans are losers wants you to know he hates anyone who disagrees with him. Happy Memorial Day.

The amount of deregulation in this bill, especially regarding pollution and the EPA is stunning and won’t get much coverage, because of the insane cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. Probably by design.

The people Republicans are trying to take Medicare benefits from *paid* for those benefits. Republicans may as well be looting from their constituents' savings accounts.
