1/ Congress just passed the largest #Medicaid cuts in U.S. history: $1 trillion over 10 years. Only 8% of Americans are aware that this was included in the “Big Beautiful Bill." There’s also been a stunning lack of plain-language explanations that don’t answer the basic questions: How? Why? 👇
They do not care.

Hundreds of public safety grants cut, worth $500 million, funded initiatives like drug treatment and gun violence prevention programs.

Bad people know that one way to control people is to make them feel economically uncertain, so more of their time is spent worrying about their own precarity and less on the general welfare and/or what the bad people are doing. There's a reason the current administration is undermining the economy.
