About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

The termination of 383 #NIH funded clinical trials included studies of Covid 19 & HIV. More than 100 grants funded #Cancer research terminated. Some clinical trials sites were shut down. 74,000 participants affected. Short-sighted actions will lead to long term losses.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

I've been amplifying Democrats message for the last 40 days about standing up for the healthcare of Americans in this country and not caving to the GOP. To see the possibility of a vote where Dems could cave is beyond awful and the group chat is fired up right now.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov DO NOT CAVE ON THE SHUTDOWN. You cannot re-open for anything less than full extension of the ACA subsidies. The promise of a vote is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. You have momentum on your side and Tuesday's election results show we want FIGHTERS. SO FIGHT.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Trump is on live TV saying he wants to rig elections so Democrats can’t return to power. The most corrupt, anti-American administration in our history.
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

I think they’re daring protesters to go out Saturday because it will increase the possibility of provocation and then the Insurrection Act. Trump is creating the environment for this
