This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Trans people are beautiful, and I’ll tell you why. Most people will never understand the incredible strength it takes to refuse to be anything but oneself in a world that commands conformity. It has been the honor of my life to witness my son’s bravery, beauty and dignity. Trans people are magic. 🏳️‍⚧️
Reskeet if you fucking love trans people

The path forward invites us all to keep working for a brighter, more compassionate world, inspired by the bravehearts who walked this road before us. In honor and memory of one such braveheart, Martin Luther King Jr.

May we have the power to rise, to heal, and to illuminate the way forward.
