Why does Medicaid matter? It keeps health care within reach for millions of Americans and funds the important work public service workers do.

Cutting Medicaid is reckless and we won’t stay quiet about it. Call your rep and tell them to oppose Medicaid cuts: 202-559-1165

MURPHY: The president has offered access to him at a dinner Thursday to the 200 top purchasers of his memecoin. Half or more of those who will be meeting w/ him are foreigners. Do you have a list?

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long and filled with devastating cuts to vital programs in exchange for tax cuts that will disproportionately help the rich.

The plan is so unpopular that Republicans are taking another vote on it tomorrow at 1 AM. 

They're trying to hide it.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️

They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.

Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.

No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.

Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

What’s supposed to happen?

If my daughter is out and masked men grab her, claiming they’re ICE, drag her away w/out letting her prove she’s a citizen… w/out calling me, her dad… what is she supposed to do?

Does she not have the right to fight back, as we have taught her, to free herself. Run?

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.

All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.
