#Medicaid #BigbeautifulBullshit Deep cuts to Medicaid Eroding protections in private health insurance Weakening the ACA Marketplaces CBO’s analysis reveals that the bill would reduce insurance coverage by 10.9 million people (for a total of 16 million www.brookings.edu/articles/new...

Proposed changes to Medicaid, other health programs could lead to over 51,000 preventable deaths, researchers warn ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

Yikes

this story is just a great illustration of NIMBY nihilism. at core, these people have no vision for anything. they simply oppose change for the sake of opposition. (i also think there is an element of death denial here — if i can prevent all physical changes i can deny the reality of my mortality)

DO NOT KEEP YOUR MONEY IN AN APP CAUSE THE APP CAN JUST BAN YOU AND KEEP THE MONEY AND YOU DON'T HAVE RECOURSE

Read the whole poem … a gift. They gave everything. The least I can do is remember. I remember. I must remember. I must always remember. The author, William H. McRaven is a retired naval officer. www.theatlantic.com/books/archiv...

At 9:00 AM this morning the entire Pentagon got an email inviting them to a “Christian prayer and worship service” from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A Cabinet member directly violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

Even if his veto is overridden by the Legislature, he will claim cutting school funding with a line item veto is responsible. No one who proposes a $1.5 billion to $2 billion deficit, as Dunleavy did this year, is responsible. #akleg #aknews www.dermotcole.com/reportingfro...

Do you ever think about the great things America could do if we focused our energy on common good rather than corporate greed?

Rep. Miller-Meeks won her seat by 800 votes. She's stealing health care from 67,000 of her constituents.

Dear press: Why do questions of mental acuity activate only with the prior but not the current administration? Asking for a nation.

You can tell that the One Big Beautiful Bill* is truly beautiful because they’re holding the hearing after midnight * Yes, that’s actually the name

This is how I will feel when this is truly understood!

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

Watch out for videos of Jasmine Crocket, or other public figures, being shared from you tube account "DP Insights". It is spreading misinformation, since entire episodes are fictionalized.

A Georgia mother is being forced to keep her brain-dead daughter alive because she’s pregnant and Georgia’s abortion laws are archaic. They’re forcing the family to pay to keep this woman alive — with an unviable baby — against their will. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 63 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Let me make this simple: 1) People have been fired - our economy & governmental services have been interrupted because of the firings. 2) The proposed budget includes - cuts to federal worker’s benefits, cuts to Medicaid, cuts to food assistance, & deep tax cuts for the RICH,

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

I hope every Pride parade in the country happens at the same time as Donold’s military one.

Where is Abrego Garcia? When does he and every other abducted person receive their due process???

Why has Kid Rock not been arrested for obstructing ICE arrests after his restaurant sent undocumented workers home last week so they wouldn’t be swept up in an ICE raid, but Judge Dugan directing a man through a different door is a federal offense?

Racial harassment has no place in Catholic schools: The Principal of the Madeleine School in Portland, OR recently called the police on a Black family and expelled their son for seeking an apology. Let's support this family and demand accountability. act.faithfulamerica.org/petition/fir...
