Absolutely abhorrent

Please run for President!

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all

Following the passage of the reconciliation package today by the U.S. House of Representatives, Democracy Defenders Action issued the following statement:

This isn’t over yet. Spread the word.

Republicans' Big, Beautiful Bill would:

— Kick 16 million off their health care
— Close 1 out of 4 nursing homes
— Hike your energy bills
— Add at least $4 trillion to the national debt

It’s a gift to the rich and a disaster for families.

This bill will be devastatingly destroy this country…. And this here reminds me of when Trump told his nephew to just let his disabled child die… making Trump’s immoral desires to come true IS going to be at the suffering of the nation as a whole! Thank those that voted for him!

👏👏👏

While some Republicans are attempting back room deals on specific pieces of the Medicaid cuts— make no mistake any cut to Medicaid would have an outsized impact on kids and adults with disabilities, seniors and caregivers. And that impact will come with body bags #DontKillOurMedicaid

RFK Jr. ousts entire 17-person CDC vaccine advisory committee Kennedy says the committee members had too many conflicts of interest.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines and pledged to replace them with his own picks.

The Gutting of America’s Medical Research: Here Is Every Canceled or Delayed N.I.H. Grant Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated.

“I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.”

He’s been in so many!!

You are wonderful Patty!

BREAKING: I just offered an amendment on the floor to give Veterans fired in the Trump-Musk layoffs their jobs back.

Every single Republican blocked it.

Shame on them for betraying our heroes.

The $10M steered to Hope Florida by the state was Medicaid money, document shows A draft agreement of a $67 million settlement between the DeSantis administration and a Medicaid contractor that had overbilled the state sheds new light on how $10 million of that amount was diverted...

I'm sorry I know there's a lot going on but how are we not screaming about Ron DeSantis stealing $10 million from Medicaid and the money ending up with pro-DeSantis superPACs, funneled through a charity run by his wife?

HOW IS THIS NOT NATIONAL NEWS?
