72M Americans rely on Medicaid. 41% of US births are paid for by Medicaid. Medicaid is nursing home care primary payer, affecting patients & their adult children. Estimated 36M could lose healthcare coverage as a result of the Republican bill. Protest!

If you're age 18 years-old to 29, then 37% of you are learning your news from influencers, yikes.

Visualize our current diversity in Congress.

GIDDY-up. I'm #GIDDY to relay that the 119th Congress has the most diversity in history. This is why local elections matter...let's move the good ones #UP to congress.

PSA: How to protest the next four years? Think pocketbook. Buy less. Don't stimulate the economy more than it needs. Thinking about purchasing a new vehicle? Don't. It's time we banded together and waited this out. Upcycle. Recycle. Thrift. Ebay's female business owners need us more than Amazon.

The average age of a person living in the USA is 38.8. When the president says he will revoke birthright citizenship, it will only make our nation older. Who will do the younger person's work when there's no one around? www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Asked Alexa to play "KUTX of Austin" radio and this was the first song heard. It was 1964's "Keep On Pushing" song about civil rights by the band "The Impressions," which was a perfect choice on Dr. King's holiday.

Striking information.

Just 22% of Americans say the cost of college is worth it, even if someone has to take out loans.

A larger share (47%) say the cost is worth it ONLY if someone doesn’t have to take out loans.

And only 29% say the cost is NOT worth it.
