No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

Privatizing the VA means putting our veterans' healthcare in the hands of corporations that prioritize profits over people. We can't let this happen! They'll start with the VA, then move on to Medicare & Medicaid. Save veterans' healthcare!!

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

After I got my doctorate in health admin, I could have taken a cushy job atop a corporate health firm & gotten rich off denying claims, but instead, I chose a low-paying civil service job to help care for Veterans & the Military. So don't give me that "he was only doing his job" crap.

As someone on SSDI I can't tell you how it hurts to listen to people speak about Social Security and Medicare but fail to mention the populations who subsist on these programs: Seniors: 77.8% Survivors: 11.2% People w/Disabilities: 11% It's very crucial in our messaging to ensure EVERYONE is seen.

Donald Trump has appointed the wealthiest cabinet in history and Elon Musk spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to elect him but Democrats are the "elitists." Get bent, MSNBC.

I wonder how many realize Musk has a long history of firing extremely qualified people who displease him and bringing into his companies either his friends or relatives. This is a man who has no sense of efficiency whatsoever. He's a robber baron and we can keep acting surprised about it if we like.

Amid the backdrop that more than a dozen members of Trump's Cabinet are billionaires, a reminder that this is what happened to income inequality in this country once the tax rate for top earners was slashed after 1980. Trickle down does not work and top earners' priority is themselves.

There is a very high probability that Tulsi Gabbard’s friend, Bashar Al Assad, was killed last night. This is Tulsis nightmare scenario… her hearing for DNI will be BRUTAL and she won’t get in

It is clear from his interview today that Trump is going to expect Bondi and Patel to investigate and prosecute his political opponents. Three questions: How will the media cover? What will pro-democracy leaders and orgs do? Most important: Who will stand up and who will obey?

“We have concepts of a plan” — Trump on his healthcare plan (yes, this is a new clip)

With the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, Tulsi Gabbard’s chance of being confirmed as Trump’s Director of National Intelligence has fallen to ZERO. The only question is whether the Syrian rebels will release the secret files on Tulsi before or after her confirmation hearing.

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way. This is not a hot take. It's just plain common sense.

As Trump promises to immediately pardon January 6th prisoners on Day One — saying they’re “living in hell” — keep in mind that virtually all of those doing serious time behind bars assaulted a police officer.

Trump is the L Ron Hubbard of American politics. Like scientology, if you're not already in the cult the literature is lunacy and it's adherents are fucking insane.

Imagine you’re at a party and it’s pretty chill and then all the sudden a bunch of really angry Nazis show up and start trashing the place. Nobody would say you have to stay at that party or else you’d be “ceding ground.” Especially when there’s a fun party down the street you can go to.

They literally refuse to accept the results of any election they don’t win. Even in an election cycle like this, still they find a way to frame themselves as victims. And Elon humors them.
