How To: Medicaid Congressional Advocacy Webinar | Matthew Cortland Get more from Matthew Cortland on Patreon

House GOP Leadership just announced they want to cut at least $880 Billion from Medicaid.

This webinar covers how to meet with the office of a Senator or Congressperson to advocate for Medicaid. These meetings are a way to take your advocacy to the next level, and are incredibly important.

The CFPB has returned over $21 billion back to millions of American consumers.

Color me surprised that Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to close down the government agency that makes it harder for banks, big corporations, and billionaires to rip us all off.

Freeland: Our retaliation is going to be a lot more surgical than that. We are going to go after American stakeholders who matter to The White House. I have proposed a 100% tariff on all Teslas. I am calling on all the countries that are affected by this tariff to join us

Oh my god yes please

I think the correct thing is for state governments to pass legislation to seize federal employment taxes to make up the promised shortfall and put them directly to their own coffers.

A tiny advocacy action :)

📚Resisting Autocracy Lessons📚

DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE

Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given.

Once again: The animating purpose of representative democracy is to protect the rest of us from the whims of insane rich people, be they kings or oligarchs. Everything else is wainscoting.

the level of corruption unfolding right now will stagger future generations. it will stagger people a month from now.

climbing the ladder and pulling it up behind them is a parlor game for these ghouls

Judge Bates: “Finally, it bears emphasizing who ultimately bears the harm of defendants’ actions: everyday Americans, & most acutely, underprivileged Americans, seeking healthcare.” @drsforamerica.bsky.social succeed in arguing that info on websites was capriciously taken down & must be restored.

Checking the CDC website as we get closer to the deadline of 11:59pm & not seeing that pages have been restored. For example, the HIV resources page is still saying "This page you're looking for was not found."

Musk killed these people.

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

SEATTLE JUST VOTED TO ENACT A TAX ON MILLIONAIRE BUSINESSES TO BUILD SOCIAL HOUSING.

Late results tend to favor left wing results, so the chance of this flipping in the coming days is near zero.

To be a little real for a second, the USAID news is almost (just almost!) too much for me because I was born in one of those refugee camps. I was a difficult birth, and I know my mother got her natal care in that camp. This stuff absolutely devastates me.

for years a fucktillion of rightwing lunatics claimed biden was so inept that there was a “shadow govt” secretly running things and now that it’s really happening they seem fine with it actually

Sabotage

Liars.

Elon Musk is trying to shut down the CFPB, the agency that has forced big banks and corporations to return more than $21 BILLION to families they cheated.

Democracy is Crumbling. Is Anybody Doing Anything? Yes. And You Can Too.

People are doing things. You will meet those people when you start doing things.

The easiest form of advocacy is for you to pressure your representatives to oppose the Musk takeover and destruction of our federal agency infrastructure.

Hey everyone, it’s a Coup. Name it for what it is.

We have a duty to disobey orders that violate law. If the courts say don’t do it, that’s a pretty good indication.

Most of us are not being asked to violate law, some are (e.g., financial assistance, Civil Rights and EEO laws).

Flu season in the US is the most intense it's been in at least 15 years The U.S. winter virus season is in full force, and by one measure is the most intense in about 15 years.

If you’re going out —especially to crowded events like conventions—bring hand sanitizer and lotion for after every transaction, every time you touch doors or handrails, and before you eat.

🦬 This is your daily reminder that Musk and SpaceX pollute your public lands.

👏 Musk 👏 and 👏 SpaceX 👏 pollute 👏 your 👏 public lands! 👏

Sure would be a shame if all 12,000 of us called SpaceX Human Relations at 310-363-6000 (press 4) to complain about the rampant abuse they inflict:
