As a health service psychologist I have seen Medicaid funded care prevent permanent disability, fund medical and mental health recovery, provide path to substance cessation. Medicaid saves lives and funds rural and low income community access to quality care. #saveMedicaid #medicaidstory

Disabled people are not disposable. We are worth protecting.

interestingly, the amount Bezos spent to buy himself a powerful propaganda outlet (whether you agree with his purpose or not, that's what it is now) is almost identical to the amount Musk spent to buy a president: around $250 million that's clearly too much mad money for one person to have

no single person in America should have this much power even if they use it for good #change

Thank you. My son is disabled and he is terrified that he will lose his disability. The stress is eating him inside out.

I'm just so, so, so tired of everything. I work for a mental health non profit. I've relied on disability services. I think about the collapse every day. Clients are scared, workers are scared, it would be nice if outsiders saw us, the people most affected & offered encouragement instead of screams.

using the power of wealth defend the freedom to hoard more

In thinking about mental health and wellness, we want to recognize other groups under persecution as well: people who are transgender/nonbinary, have disabilities, don‘t have documentation, people of color, and others. Take care of yourselves, find your communities, be allies and support each other.

House Republicans passed a budget that would blow up the deficit even as they tell us our nation's future depends on decreasing it. Again. You pretty much have to be in your 60s to remember a Republican Party that didn't say one thing and do another.

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.

"the Trump administration has repeatedly questioned whether people with disabilities belong in the workplace" and then will say people on disability are cheating the system and should get jobs it doesn't have to make sense it just has to feel good

OPINION: As the USAID crisis unfolds, countless Christians on social media proclaim that “God will make a way,” or that “people of God on the ground” should be doing this work, not the U.S. government. But this is far more than we can handle.

If the president defies the courts and Congress does not impeach him for it, the Constitution simply ceases to exist.

prediction: the us supreme court will uphold the majority of trump's initiatives and block only enough to maintain a claim to objectivity that reality-based conservatives can believe in

Raising taxes could help reduce the US deficit, but President Donald Trump’s tax cut pledge would make Elon Musk’s aim to slash $1 trillion difficult. We look at how the US gov't spends $6.8 trillion of taxpayer money aje.io/ogrece
