At a 60 hr vigil for Medicaid. The candles represent the over 800,000 people who could lose Medicaid. Congress' reconciliation bill will likely result in almost $1 trillion being stolen. And all to allow billionaires and millionaires to continue to steal money from the most vulnerable.

They're still going to House offices.
They know we're almost certainly, barring a miracle, going to lose this vote. They know, but they won't stop trying because what the fuck else are you going to do when it's your child?
Thank you for funding this.

AOC: This bill is a deal with the devil. It explodes our national debt. It militarizes our entire economy. It strips away health care and basic dignity of the American people for what? To give Elon Musk a tax break.. We cannot stand for it. And we will not support it. You should be ashamed
