TACO’s TTT economic policy (Trump’s Tariff Tantrum) is destabilizing both the US and World economies.

β€’ Job numbers are tanking
β€’ Inflation is rising
β€’ Consumer prices are rising
β€’ The Stock Market keeps crashing

In the end the American consumer is paying the price.

We must all pull the alarm!

So what if federal law prohibits civilians from owning machine guns? Trump is allowing automatic rifles to be turned into machine guns, dropping a legal challenge to a device that does just that. Plus his Big Bullshit Bill makes owning silencers and shotguns cheaper. Keep your head way down!!

The consequences of republican Medicaid cuts will be dire. Families will struggle to care for loved ones, and children will suffer as a result. #SaveMedicaidSaveFamilies

My friend Ai-Jen speaking truth to power on the $1T cuts to Medicaid.

We must fight to protect our healthcare. We must #cancelthecuts and protect healthcare as a human right for all people in this country. ❀️✊🏽

Republicans love to say β€œtighten the belt” when it comes to Medicaid.

Easy to say when you’ve never had to choose between chemo and rent.

This isn’t about budgets β€” it’s about cruelty.

Opinion | Obama Won Record Numbers of Nonwhite Voters. This Is How the Democrats Lost Them. (Gift Article) One in five voters who cast a ballot for Donald Trump in 2024 was a person of color. Why?

β€œTrump’s β€œburn it down” style rang true for nonwhite voters, caught in compounded financial and social crises, feeling left behind by Democrats and by the political establishment…

β€œMany say they’re not Democratic or Republican β€” they are Trump supporters.”

Dems, pay attention! πŸ‘†πŸ‘†πŸ‘†

A very personal 🧡 of services the Texas Medicaid waiver has provided my son.
Services and therapies many families could not afford otherwise.

Music Therapy (especially Taylor Swift ☺️) was *instrumental* (aha!) in teaching my son to walk again after his most recent neurosurgery!

This moment from today’s Medicaid vigil is so powerful…

Question: What do you say to the people who voted to cut Medicaid? Be honest.

Samantha Phillis: They voted against my child’s life.

On this week’s #MedicaidMinute my brother Chris says it best. β€œI am Medicaid, don’t extinguish me.”

As we kick off our 60-hour vigil. Chris’s words are a reminder of why we’re fighting for the legacy–and the future–of Medicaid.

Floods killing people? What me worry? Trump says he’ll cut funding for river gauges to predict floods. And close 10 NOAA offices that study how to predict weather disasters. Follow Trump’s follies at anothertrumpdisaster.com

Babies covered in measles, child crying at tombstone

Measles were gone in the U.S. until Trump made a devil’s deal with RFK Jr. to make him HHS Secretary. Not any more. 1,288 cases half-way through the year. 38 states, 2 kids and 1 adult dead. And it’s a lot more serious than in grandma and grandpa’s time.

Jenga blogs with text of all the programs Trump is cutting

Trump’s spoiling the summer vacation for tens of thousands of school kids and teachers with a last minute (as like July 1) freezing $7 billion for after-school programs, teacher training and OMG! education for migrant students. I’d say Grinch but it’s six months too early and too good for him.

Trump has stopped enforcement of civil rights law and protections across the government, in housing, education environment, worker rights, Social Security, the VA and more. He is working to reverse the past 85 years of progress on civil rights.

In Trinity Texas, 90 miles north of Houston, Midcoast Medical Center recently had to close its doors.

The closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates from elderly patients' Medicare and Medicaid coverage, which made up most of its budget.
