The GOP's "Big, Beautiful" budget bill, which Republicans passed in the U.S. House, makes deep cuts to Medicaid that then-candidate Donald Trump swore would never happen.
Here in North Carolina, it would revoke Medicaid benefits from 470,000 people across our state.

These people are clearly not up for the job.
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social. theatln.tc/AmsjsuT6

You cannot negotiate with terrorists. If the Ivies give in to any regime demands, the goal posts will move. If the massive ivy endowments aren’t deployed to preserve institutional integrity and academic freedom, what on earth are they for?

This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.

You're here. You're at the finish of the year, the day, the hour. The bad news is that as you are still breathing, you have to do it all again. But that's the good news, too.
