500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas.

Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage.

They're selling out their own voters.

🚨 NEW: Planned Parenthood just scored a major win — a federal judge granted a temporary injunction allowing its clinics to KEEP receiving Medicaid funding for non-abortion care, despite GOP attempts to gut it in their sham tax law. The right came for healthcare. The courts hit back.

“When Medicaid is slashed and PP is defunded, it’s not lawmakers who suffer. It’s real people. It’s the patient who skips rent to get care, the mother choosing between groceries and a clinic bill. WRRAP exists because these injustices. Now, WRRAP need to do even more—with your help.”

Our fundamental rights are under relentless attack. Freedom without bodily autonomy is not true freedom. That justice delayed is justice denied.

Opal Lee shows us that change comes when we refuse to stop walking toward justice. Let’s keep going.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Missouri is now on the frontlines of the anti-abortion movement’s growing effort to reverse abortion rights state by state, trying to undo the ballot measures voters approved to enshrine abortion rights.

Missouri's voters restored abortion rights. Their leaders are trying to overrule them.

Clinics are rebuilding services, patients are returning and Republicans in the state are moving quickly to take protections away — again.
