Can House Republicans Cut $880 Billion Without Slashing Medicaid? Itโ€™s Likely Impossible. - KFF Health News A Republican House resolution, which needs the Senateโ€™s buy-in, directed a committee to propose ways to reduce the deficit by at least $880 billion over a decade. Lawmakers have taken Medicare off the...

Know your GOP lies. One GOP talking point on the budget: โ€œthe word โ€˜Medicaidโ€™ isnโ€™t in the bill.โ€ Trueโ€”but the bill directs the committee overseeing Medicaid to cut an amount impossible to hit WITHOUT cutting Medicaid. They are lying. Again.

I'll be damned if Sen. Tom Cotton isn't coming to town - Arkansas Times Sen. Cotton and Sen. Boozman are expected at a $7,000-a-plate fundraiser in Arkansas Tuesday. So they might miss the town hall.

He hasn't RSVP'd yet, but it's looking unlikely that Sen. Cotton will show for a town hall in LR Tuesday, since he's expected at a $7,000-a-plate fundraiser for his 2026 reelection campaign instead. That's too bad! Arkansans have some questions for him ... #arpx

Lawsuit seeks to block Trump administration's anti-DEI in education order The ACLU and the NEA sued the U.S. Department of Education on Wednesday for telling school officials to axe DEI programming and initiatives.

Threatening to cut federal funding for schools that engage in DEI initiatives is a blatant attempt to deprive students of a full and honest education.

We're taking the Trump administration to court.
