Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

HR 1 means higher costs, fewer services, and real harm for those struggling. I became a physician to provide care, not to watch health care stripped away. Speak out for Medicaid and tell Congress to VOTE NO on HR 1: acog.quorum.us/campaign/128... #HandsOffMedicaid #MedicaidMatters #ObGynsInAction

Tell Congress: Don’t Make It Harder for People to Live Healthy Lives

This is going to be a different type of campaign.

Because when you’re going after Medicaid and even ripping food away from hungry kids, all to cut taxes for donors and corporate lobbyists, we’re not pulling punches.

I hope you’ll join us:

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care

Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

The spine lady clearly can’t read a poll. Even the most conservative polls show SC voters oppose abortion bans. Voters oppose the one we’ve got now which has already killed and harmed SC women. The vast majority says politicians should stay out of personal decisions between women and their doctors.

Despite all his lip service to healthy food, RFK Jr was so unwilling to accept actual scientific research that he censored Dr. Kevin Hall, forcing one of the top nutrition researchers in the world to leave the NIH after 21 years.

Believe what they do, not what they say.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

If a Black man erasing a racist white man from the record books while defending human rights and fighting the segregationist regime trying to take over this country doesn’t inspire you, I’m not sure what will. A different future is possible. Thank you for giving us that hope, @Cory Booker ❤️
