AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

Rep. Malliotakis (R-NY) now also expressing opposition to deep #Medicaid cuts required under House GOP budget resolution. But will more moderate House members hold the line? Key will be getting big enough group willing to voice public (not just private) opposition. thehill.com/homenews/514...

democracy in michigan and wisconsin was crushed to the point of near-irreversibility until 2020 -- vastly worse than what trump seems likely to be able to do before 2028 -- and we fought back, inch by inch, until we took it back, despite Republicans having both structural advantages and real support

The most important thing anyone can do right now is pressure every Republican in their state. Show up at their events. Show up at their offices. Make them look at what they’re doing to the Constitution.

I almost always take a man with me to hospital. I find that HCWs are more likely to mask up when a male advocate is there. I also find they listen more & are less likely to brush me off. The first time in years I went alone? The HCW refused to mask. Misogyny in medicine is still a huge problem

If they succeed in taking down USAID, other agencies will go next. Vought is already trying to end the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We have to stop this autocratic power grab now.

The American people overwhelmingly oppose Medicaid cuts. Even among Trump voters, more than two-thirds think the program should retain current funding or should grow in size -- not be slashed, as proposed by ultra-right-wing Republicans.
