Friend, disabled and older adults will bear the burden of Medicaid cuts

For @americanprogress.bsky.social InProgress newsletter, I talk about how the Republican budget will remove 14 million people off health insurance. This Big Bad Bill is a scam to rob from the poor to give to the rich and will cut essential Medicaid benefits. my1.americanprogress.org/personalizat...

It’s a beautiful thing to see people put aside their differences, their politics, and unite in their love of country.

Well done, Canada. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Your citizens stood on guard for thee.

Dear Canada-
Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever.

Never again starts right now. 50 million people in the streets this weekend as a warm-up for 125 million in the streets on July 4. We need to pressure our elected leaders to stand up and impeach this regime.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

These are not detainmentsβ€”they are kidnappings.

These are not deportationsβ€”they are human trafficking.

These are not detention centersβ€”they are concentration camps.

Language matters.

This is fascism.

It's important for people to understand that we're on a trajectory that eventually leads to political prisoners (first non-citizens, then citizens) being sent to these camps.

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

β€˜I am very proud of Utah’: RFK Jr. commends state officials on fluoridation ban During a surprise visit to Utah, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised state officials for taking steps to ban water fluoridation in its water supply.

He was too busy making a surprise appearance in Utah to cheer on a bill that recently passed banning fluoridation in public water systems.

Yes, it does. This site has flyers and videos on how they can help people, including during the cooling season.

Asked my smart economist friend about how #TrumpTariffs help Americans or even the rich, because I couldn't see it, and he said, "It doesn't. He's destroying stuff. It doesn't benefit anyone...except our enemies."

Today is a good day to remember how we had it all just a few months ago.

This is not a FAFO moment.

It's a sad day in America when millions placed their trust in an incompetent dimwit who is destroying the economic stability President Biden and Vice President Harris built for all of us.

HHS cuts staff in charge of helping 6M Americans keep utilities on The entire federal staff that helps 6.2 million Americans keep their utilities on has been axed by HHS, making it a cruel summer if temperatures rise.

The HHS cuts also include the entire staff supporting LIHEAP (Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program), a program that helps 6 million Americans keep their utilities on 😑

Six million Americans rely on LIHEAP (Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program) to keep their utilities on. Trump's HHS just laid off the entire staff supporting this program.

screenshot from a news item about the cuts being undertaken in services: "Mr. Kennedy is also eliminating entire but lesser known parrts of his department, such as the Administration for Community Living, which supports programs that help older Americans and people with disabilities live independently. Advocates for disability rights say the cuts could deprive the most vulnerable Americans of housing, personal care and other services."

there aren't any words for how much I hate the people doing this. I wish every harm upon them, it is right and just to pray for such harm
