For those who may not have noticed yet, ALL women fall under the DEI umbrella, not just women of color. It's time to wake up! The felon wants to turn this country in one run and controlled by straight white men. If you are a woman, you will not be protected regardless of your color.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.
The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.
This is trickle down economics on steroids.

This breaks my heart. My salary at St. Jude was paid through our comprehensive cancer center grant. My wife's oncologist is at a comprehensive cancer center. Millions of children and adults with cancer get treatment in these 57 centers around the country. These are essential locations for research.🧪
The NCI grant supporting the Columbia comprehensive cancer center was terminated. Tell me how terminating support for cancer research helps the economy.

So who’s paying for Republicans’ massive billionaire and corporate tax cut? Families. Sick kids. Disabled kids. Rural hospitals. Seniors. Students. They’re all footing the bill as Medicaid will be ripped away if we don’t act.
