We’re on the verge of a government shutdown because Republicans refuse to fix the health care emergency in America.

I’m on my way to the Senate floor to sound the alarm.

@nytimes.com reports on the state of our vaccine policy – with the addition of five NEW advisors to the ACIP, 8 out of 12 appointees on the ACIP are openly vaccine-skeptic.

They shout “America first” but are always putting Americans last.

Cutting SNAP and food assistance doesn’t make children healthy. You can’t talk about making America healthy again while taking food out of their mouths

Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."

Insurers are planning their largest premium hikes in half a decade as they start to lock in rates for 2026.

All because Republicans took an axe to health care to make billionaires' private jets tax-deductible.

Republicans in the Senate know this bill will kill people, but they're more than willing to look the other way.

Never let them forget that they chose tax breaks over American lives.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That He couldn't be more unqualified.

I cannot believe how unqualified he is for this job.

RFK Jr. sent Congress 'medical disinformation' to defend COVID vaccine schedule change A document circulated to members of Congress misinterprets studies and cites debunked research, scientists say. It could influence congressional perceptions of vaccine safety.

This guy is a menace. www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

Perfection.

Two key health care cases to look out for this Pride Month: Braidwood and Skrmetti.

Both could fundamentally reshape how LGBTQ+ people get health care, from free PrEP to gender-affirming care.

BESSENT: We are trying to bend the curve on medical cost. And I believe that the medical expenses are out of control.

TINA SMITH: But you're not controlling medical expenses by taking insurance away from people. You're just shifting the cost to hospitals and individuals and uncompensated care.

Leader Jeffries: We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order, not a single one of them. Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Costs haven't gone down. They're going up. Inflation is going up. Trump lied to the American people.

“Holding steady” as unemployment climbs? www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/une...

Meiselas: Their justification for that is, “The reason we voted for this is to hand it over to the Senate.”

Moskowitz: Oh yeah. Yeah, we just need to get some piece of shit out of here, right? To give it over to the Senate, and they’re going to make it beautiful.

House Republicans passed the single largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in the HISTORY of our country.
 
The GOP tax bill would deliver the largest cut to Medicaid and SNAP EVER.
 
Repost and help me put a burning, bright spotlight on this awful disaster of a bill.

Republicans don’t want you to notice — but buried in their cruel bill is a quiet repeal of the ACA.
Millions could lose healthcare. We stopped this before. We must stop it again.

Rand Paul: "Once this bill votes, and this debt ceiling goes through, the debt is owned by the GOP, and there is no more campaigning and saying 'This is the Democrats.' It will be owned by the Republicans and I think that's a huge mistake."

Ruben Reacts: Telling your constituents they’re going to die is an asshole thing to do

We should NOT cut food assistance in America so that Trump can pad the pockets of billionaires and giant corporations.

If Republicans won’t listen to common sense and common decency—then we are going to get a megaphone and shout it from the rooftops:

HANDS OFF SNAP.

Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” will increase the average family’s student loan payment by $400 a month.

@thebudgetnista.bsky.social shared how hard this will hit families.

VARNEY: So less money will flow to Medicaid. There will be a cut in the funding. That's accurate, right?

REP. DAN MEUSER: Well, the plan is for some savings

Pete Buttigieg: It’s insulting the working voter who knows damn well that if you make these changes to Medicaid, millions of Americans are going to lose their health care coverage.

More than 10 million Americans on Medicaid will lose their health care, and 7.6 million Americans on Obamacare will become uninsured.

House Republicans passed Trump's tax scam in the dead of night, while most of their constituents were sleeping (after months of yanking down town halls and ignoring voters)

Now it's up to the MAGA Senate to stop this profoundly damaging bill from becoming law and re-structuring American society.

McGovern: We live in the richest country on Earth and not a single kid in this country should go to bed hungry, not a single damn one and especially when Republicans are giving millionaires and billionaires a big fat tax break.

IT’S GETTING WORSE: CBO Confirms Republican Budget Bill Will Make the Rich Even Richer By Ripping Health Care and Basic Resources Away From Working Families — Protect Our Care Washington, D.C. — The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has released new analysis on the Republican budget bill which confirmed the bill will be the largest transfer of wealth from the...

“This bill gets worse by the minute.” @protectourcare.org’s statement on the new CBO numbers for the big beautiful bill. ⬇️

At least 125 million Americans rely on these two health care programs. This isn't hard; they don't care about you losing health care or your essential life expenses skyrocketing as long as they get to reward their wealthy friends, donors, and corporate allies.

🚨MEDICARE is now on the chopping block thanks to Republicans in Congress🚨

The GOP budget, which already cuts hundreds of billions from Medicaid, spends so recklessly that it would trigger automatic cuts to Medicare – all to give billionaires yet another tax break.

HHS Is Shuttering Offices That Fight Billing Fraud And Help Police Nursing Homes The plan is to close six of 10 regional counsel offices, whose portfolio includes everything from nursing home safety to Head Start standards.

It was never about combatting waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s about paying for tax cuts for their billionaire buddies at the expense of hardworking Americans.
