5/ Only 8% of Americans know these historic health care cuts are happening. When people ask why they lost coverage or why their local hospital shut down or why there isn't a nursing home for their parent, point to this bill.

1/ Today's bill passing marks the biggest health care cuts in U.S. history—nearly $1 trillion slashed over the next 10 years. Instead of moving toward a healthier, more prosperous future—where we prevent disease, expand care, feed children, & increase life expectancy—America chose the opposite.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled states can block Medicaid patients from getting care at Planned Parenthood.

That means fewer cancer screenings. Less birth control. Less basic health care. All while Trump & the GOP give billionaires more tax breaks.

This is a theft of power, care, and dignity.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

"Bothsidesism is 'suicide for democracy.' In becoming stenographers rather than reporters, journalists effectively legitimize MAGA lies, hate, and fascism as just one reasonable side of a debate in which all partisans are equally credible."
ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller
The road to fascism is paved with "objectivity" and "civility."

A letter template to write to your public officials about keeping newborn hearing screening. So many fought for this so future generations wouldn't have to go through what we did. Why are we going backwards? ujoin.co/campaigns/37... #deaf #disability

Newborn hearing screening is on the chopping block. I'm one of those 70s kids; I wasn't diagnosed until 14 months. I'm lucky bc I had intense therapy & support from then on. With a small developmental window & tech like CIs, these screenings are essential! time.com/7278169/baby... #disability #deaf

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Whatever happens, I'll never forget that when Republicans began to break with Trump, it wasn't because of the rule of law or human rights abuses or anything like that. It was because they were losing money.
