Q: What would cuts to Medicaid mean for Kentucky? Gov. Beshear: It'll be devastating. Medicaid covers the people we love the most, our parents and our kids... Without those dollars, with a massive cut, what we will see is rural health care shut down almost entirely.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

Former Social Security Commissioner O’Malley confirms that tRump is attempting weaponize Social Security by declaring people DEAD who are very much alive. It’s tantamount to financial murder. The US Government is under siege. We are all in danger. #DemVoice1

We all know Trump's tariffs are stupid. The question is, How stupid are they? How much do you really know about the tariffs the EU imposes on US stuff? Did you know the US places a 25% tariff on EU trucks, even before Trump? #trump #tariffs www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

One consequence of tolerating pseudoscience is that people die when its legitimatization becomes baked into our culture, health care systems, and institutions.

If it’s true that Trump wasn’t briefed on four missing — presumed dead — soldiers in a Lithuania, someone needs to be fired. There’s not much higher on the priority list than MIA soldiers. Whoever dropped the ball there is failing POTUS in an inexcusable way.

Have an opinion which is unpopular with Trump? You could be picked up in a van and disappeared. Sound familiar? Argentina did this in the late 1970s and 1980s when a military junta led the country. An estimated 40,000 people, journalists, politicians vanished - into the Atlantic Ocean #trump

Coming bright and early tomorrow, an ALL-NEW @talkingfeds.bsky.social, w/ an only-in-Talking-Feds great panel, to talk through a largely disheartening week in many ways with Trump’s successful shakedowns of Paul Weiss & Columbia University. Where does it stop and how can it be successfully opposed?

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law? To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.

This bill to weaken it is up for a vote after drs. & nurses publicly spoke abt its dangers AND as measles spreads in TX (w/ vax policy this WV bill will mimic), making one ponder: why are WV politicians dead set on harming kids? 🛟😷
