More than 1 in 3 Americans rely on Medicaid for health coverage – including nearly half of all children. @5calls.org has a script to call your members of Congress opposing Medicaid cuts here: 5calls.org/issue/protec... @familiesusa.bsky.social has a tool to email them here:

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

🚨 Today's top stories: 📉 Trump’s approval is dropping—57% say he’s exceeded his power, 62% say he’s not honest 💰 GOP budget slashes $888B from Medicaid 🇺🇦 Trump spreads Putin’ lies about Ukraine 🚀 Musk calls to defund the ISS Get ALL the news ⬇️

Republicans just shot down my amendment to ensure we don’t cut Medicaid and kick millions of seniors off of their healthcare.

Who wants to give Jeff Hurd in CO 3 and Gabe Evans in CO 8 a call, since their districts have the highest numbers of Medicaid recipients in the state? Rural Colorado will be in deep trouble economically without Medicaid.

Even Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, has issued public warnings that cuts to Medicaid could be politically damaging to Trump and other GOP leaders. “A lot of MAGA is on Medicaid,” he said on his “War Room” podcast just last week. “You can’t just take a meat ax to it.”

Jon Ossoff warns GOP about Medicaid cuts: ‘Voters will be watching’ #gapol ajc.com/politics/pol...

8 Republicans are calling on Speaker Johnson not to target Medicaid. One short of the number it would take to oust Johnson.

Last night, Trump said he wouldn't cut Medicaid. He just endorsed the House Republican budget that makes at least $880 BILLION in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. They'll say or do anything to get more giveaways for their billionaire donors.

They're going to cut Medicaid through the budget reconciliation. Johnson can spare only one vote. Make those calls.

Senate Republicans just *BLOCKED* Sen. Ossoff’s amendment to protect children’s and maternal health care through Medicaid.

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

Take note of the messaging - this is both accurate and *deeply* unpopular. It's the kind of thing that forces GOP House members to quietly tell their constituents that they too are concerned about Musk. Make them own this. Make them squirm.

Looking for ways to stand up to Musk? Help stop him from buying another election.👇

Susan Crawford has spent her whole career fighting for Wisconsin, from restoring public workers’ right to bargain for better working conditions to defending abortion rights. Let's elect her to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to protect the liberal majority. app.sosha.ai/s/sTyWff9z

Yesterday, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. Today, he endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. Republicans will say anything in their plot to take money from you and give it to their billionaire donors. It's all lies and broken promises. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

Getting ***Boeing*** to relax safety standards. What could possibly go wrong? 🤔

If confirmed this is going to blow MASSIVE holes in the US budget. It will serve only to transfer wealth from American taxpayers to the wealthiest Americans who are the hardest to audit. This isn't fiscal responsibility - it's theft by Elon, Trump and their grifting goons.

Republicans have made crystal clear they’re planning to cut Medicaid and SNAP to fund their next round of tax cuts for billionaires. But we’re fighting back 👇👇👇

We don’t have the luxury of sitting these fights out. The stakes are too high. 👇

Today is it—Kash Patel is dangerous & unqualified to to be FBI Director! Call: Sen. Todd Young of Indiana (202) 224-5623 Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska (202) 224-6665 Sen. Susan Collins of Maine (202) 224-2523 Sen. John Curtis of Utah (202) 224-5251 Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota (202) 224-5842

If Democrats don’t wake the fuck up, there’s a really good chance of a Dem version of the tea party movement taking out a few incumbents in primaries next year. The base is *pissed* and wants fighters. A lot of Dem electeds are just sitting on their hands and doing nothing.

Once considered a bastion for free expression, America's record on press freedoms has fallen to a historic low, according to Reporters Without Borders. Under Trump's second presidency, the press is "under siege," the group argues.

IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed.

They are going after more than democracy and others. They are going after the truth. Orwell was right.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Awful: Numerous scientists and researchers were just fired at NIH's center for treating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They fear Trump-Musk cuts could dramatically set back our ability to treat dementias. New reporting from me here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

Republicans are fools #Voices4Victory

'A lot of disinformation': GOP lawmakers reach the breaking point with Trump: Donald Trump's month-old second presidency has been a major departure from the Biden Administration on foreign policy. While former President Joe Biden aggressively supported Ukraine in the Ukraine-Russia War, Trump is…

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

#DemVoice1 #ProudBlue Below are some of your favorite things 47 is taking away from YOU @jbpritzker.bsky.social and other Democratic governors fight daily to defend good things for everyone. For the ordinary people, first and foremost.

Republican pollster Frank Luntz debunks Trump’s lie about zelensky’s approval numbers, points out they’re actually higher than Trump’s 👇🏽

Susan Crawford is running to defeat Elon Musk’s chosen candidate - and Elon’s millions of $$$ - in the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election on April 1st. Her @crawfordforwi.bsky.social only has 2.5K followers and it needs A LOT MORE to help get her message out. PLEASE give her a follow now.

Here in Illinois, we're making education more attainable, affordable, and accessible. We want to make sure our students can apply to our public universities with no fees and full confidence. And enabling community colleges to offer the programs for in-demand career paths.

Certainly doesn’t look to me as though the end goal is cutting government spending… They’re looking to reroute $$$ to the oligarchs. Firstly, by funneling our tax dollars into tax cuts for the oligarchs. Secondly, by creating government contracts for the oligarchs by privatizing our services.
