Because Donald Trump and MAGA decided to destroy Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act so they could give tax cuts to billionaires

17 million people will probably lose their health insurance

And it's likely that-as a result-51,000 Americans will die

PER
YEAR

Despicable

Ask yourself at the end of Trump’s healthcare shut down do you want health insurance prices to be more expensive or more affordable? Democrats want health insurance to be more affordable. Trump shut down the government to make health insurance more expensive. #TrumpsHealthcareShutDown.

At 25, Critter’s a fierce advocate! Living with an incurable skin cancer syndrome, epilepsy, and autism, Medicaid gives him the care to thrive, and live his best life.

Families like mine shouldn’t have to fight for care, yet Trump’s cuts put young adults at risk.

Millions of medically complex children and families count on WIC and SNAP to keep their plates filled. If the shutdown continues through October, their benefits are at risk.

“I’m most worried about the funds running out for both WIC and SNAP,” says @littlelobbyists.com mom Jodi, who lives in Pennsylvania.

“I know it probably won't happen... but it might.... for our family, we heavily rely on these programs to help our family out.”

Don’t be so hard on Republicans. They have “ideas” to fix healthcare: decrease demand by decreasing population (anti-vax, no access to care, make nutritious food and shelter too expensive).

You want a healthcare system that increases affordable access? Vote for Democrats.

There are more of us than there are of them! If we all speak up or do something, we can stop this authoritarian regime.

Pennsylvania judicial retention elections are on the ballot this year. It is super important for safeguarding our fundamental rights & freedoms.

We can’t take anything for granted. Voters must turnout by Nov 4th!

Our hearts are broken for the LDS community. Because of potential gun violence, we are now afraid to go to church, send our kids to school, and just live our lives.

This is not freedom. How has gun violence made you less free? https://action.momsrising.org/survey/gvp_story_collection/

Remember your oath.
Your duty is to the U.S. Constitution, not to a man.
That duty will be tested.
And when it is, you must decide:
Are you a servicemember who stands with honor, integrity, and country or an amoral mercenary, carrying out the whims of a tyrant?

This is what leadership looks like. This is what humanity looks like. Our belligerent defense department head is not even half the human of Jay Silveria. Do not comply to unethical demands. Be kind.

Felon/GOP control ALL THE BRANCHES of government & are shutting down the government! They ripped away healthcare for millions of Americans, skyrocketing prices, throwing citizens lives into chaos! Why? Because felon/GOP are pocketing the people’s $ enriching themselves & corrupt billionaire cronies!

A 5x draft dodger lecturing 800 generals, telling them they can clap if they want?
This is delusional insanity.

The silence in that room said it all: America’s top military brass had more discipline & dignity than the man disgracing the stage.
