The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

The Trump admin is planning to strip healthcare away from millions of Americans by proposing new criteria for who can and can't receive Medicaid. Please CALL YOUR SENATORS/CONGRESSPEOPLE. Tell them they work for US. And we demand they protect our access to healthcare. 5calls.org/issue/protec...

Last article was hard to read. The journalist, bless their heart, fell for the “cost cutting measures” story. Folks, a $20K per year Rec Tech cleaning latrines is not putting our nation in the poorhouse. It’s a scapegoat for corporations like Musk’s Tesla not paying their fair share in taxes 😤

Worst. Episode. EVER.

📢 ATTENTION EVERYONE 📢 Trump and the republicans are planning deep cuts to medicaid. Medicaid provides healthcare for millions of Americans including children, pregnant people, people with disabilities, and nursing home residents. ☎️ Call your representatives now! 5calls.org/issue/protec...

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes. Closing it — and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners — could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program. (Published Dec. 2024)

Who will be joining us all over the country for #protests this month & next? 👋

this is the kind of tangible thing that people will actually feel this summer

Under Trump’s new EO, Trump personally controls “authoritative interpretations of law” for DOJ, NOT the AG or lawyers. Trump also took direct control of all regulatory actions of formerly independent agencies such as the SEC and the FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

27 GOP members of Congress are on the fence about the budget bc they know cuts to Medicaid will be disastrous for their states. If you have a GOP rep, call and email NOW and say what a terrible idea cutting Medicaid is + if they support it now, they lose your support in the midterms. 202-224-3121.

Wyden: "Nobody should lose sight of what happened this morning. Trump endorsed the House budget resolution. This resolution mandates that $880b in cuts come from the House Energy & Commerce Committee ... there is no plausible way to hit that target without hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicaid."

Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

The new Congress wants to gut Medicaid to make room for tax breaks for billionaires. We won’t let that happen. Take action now! go.caringacross.org/a/no-cuts-me...
