We salute the @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social Resolutions Cmte for voting to advance a resolution to withhold HCDP endorsement of #MAGAmayor Whitmire, due to him fundraising for Rep Crenshaw! The guy who BOWED for us when confronted re: Medicaid cuts. Thank you precinct chairs!
When we confronted Rep Crenshaw about the MASSIVE cuts to Medicaid in the budget that *he voted for*, he took a damn BOW. That’s how little they think of us. ~1 million people in the Houston area are enrolled in Medicaid #NoCutsToMedicaid #NoTaxBreaksForBillionaires

“Medicaid recipients with earnings at or above the federal poverty line would have to pay SIGNIFICANT OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES for their HEALTH CARE coverage…” All for billionaire and corporate tax breaks

Let me run down some other things in the bill:
• 9-year delay of the Biden safe staffing rule that ensured a minimum amount of nurses per nursing home resident.
So they're paying for tax cuts by cutting down on who watches your grandma.

🚨NEWS: I've obtained a list of the Medicaid cuts in the Republican reconciliation package.
The big one is that they're going to raise premiums and co-pays on beneficiaries at or above the federal poverty line ($15,650 for single people, $21,150 for a couple).
That's what helps pay for the tax cuts.

This right here- the estimated $500-600B cuts to Medicaid in the current budget WILL cut services. Including to the “able bodied” ppl they want to kick off, who get cancer! And injuries! #HandsOffOurMedicaid
8 years ago today, Republicans in the House voted to take away my health insurance (and that of millions of Americans). The day after my first chemotherapy. Now they're getting ready to attack our health care again.

Let's talk about the proposed Medicaid cuts in the federal budget! From the budget: "The Committee on Energy and Commerce shall...reduce the deficit by not less than $880,000,000,000 for the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034." What does this mean? Thread 1/5

Whatever happened to “small government” and letting counties have policies that THEIR CONSTITUENTS want?! #WorkingClassPower
The Texas Senate has passed a bill to ban local governments from adopting guaranteed income programs. The proposed law comes as Harris County’s program is blocked by a court challenge from the state attorney general.
Houston lawmaker’s bill to ban guaranteed income programs passes Texas Senate
The proposed law would outlaw programs such as Harris County’s Uplift Harris, which is on hold because of a court challenge by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
