This is NOT a “but both sides” situation. We can lose more rights than we thought we knew we ever had. From selling off stunning national park land to giving away your SS number and benefits.

House Republicans’ Big Beautiful Betrayal guts Medicaid, which means rural hospitals and community health centers could shut down. This is an outrage. No matter where you live in America, you should be able to access the care you need.

Republicans' budget scheme is a death sentence for rural hospitals & maternal care. Cutting Medicaid will devastate already-strained healthcare systems, leaving pregnant women & new moms without access to life-saving care.

Medicaid is the largest funder of long-term care in the country. Cuts to Medicaid mean our seniors won’t get the care they need.

How cutting Medicaid would affect long-term care and family caregivers
The federal program is the biggest source of money for long-term care for the elderly and disabled. Republican proposals to cut its budget could jeopardize supports family and caregivers rely on.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Friends - we cannot ignore that this is happening!
They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made.
That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country.
