John McCain fought to save the ACA during Trumps first term. Eight senators just voted to allow McCains vote to mean nothing. The American people will suffer from this decision.
Our healthcare is tripling in a time when everything but our wages are up. Dark days ahead

Jesus spent most of his time healing the sick.
Today, we have politicians in Congress with “Christ-follower” in their Twitter bios — but they’re trying to kick the sick off their healthcare.
And they’re willing to shut down the government to do it.

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting.

1 week after deadly shooting at CDC, some employees feel Trump and RFK Jr. have moved on
In the days after a deadly shooting, CDC employees said they feel frustrated with federal leaders due to a lack of statements and for the peddling of vaccine skepticism.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people.
These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.
