Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity.
You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.
So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

THREAD: Today, House Republicans will vote on an extreme budget that cuts $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks.
Ryan Mackenzie and Rob Bresnahan are swing-seat Republicans who won by only 4000 and 6000 votes, respectively. Call and pressure them so they #DontCutOurMedicaid.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.
Enrique Tarrio just announced a lawsuit against the DOJ. He says it will be funded by their crypto investments.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.
I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Important article. This center was taking new approaches to studying Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Everyone who knows someone with dementia is being hurt by Trump’s cuts to medical research. 🧪

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias.
This cause was once championed by *Republicans.*

Oops: Trump-Musk Cuts Just Wrecked an NIH Org Championed by GOPers
Republicans once lavished praise on an NIH center that deals with Alzheimer’s. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are hobbling it. What will they say now?

An unconscionable post from Donald Trump about Zelenskyy, in which he calls him a "dictator" and threatens Ukraine's existence.
