Medicaid does the following:

-Provides 1 in 2 kids health insurance
-Keeps the majority of rehab and skilled nursing facilities open nationwide
-Until today, had a rule in place to ensure minimum nurse staffing for patient safety

This is the program the party of “MAHA” wants to gut.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.
At town halls, Republicans feel the heat from Trump and Musk's firing and cutting spree
The White House said the incidents represent just a handful of critics. Others noted similarities to earlier backlash against disruptive moves in Washington.

My latest: "As Trump Sinks in Ratings, The Resistance Rises"

Trump & Musk's desire to create a new Broligarchy Reich is being challenged by the majority & a GOP base, which is slowly realizing that Republicans don't care about them or the price of eggs.

Just moments ago, I received this message from a female Ukrainian soldier. It made my eyes get damp.

Please, every day of your life, post and express support for Ukraine, and nothing but condemnation for Putin.

As you can see, our support…matters.
