The Sunlight Report on UnitedHealth Group The Sunlight Report on UnitedHealth Group is a first-of-its-kind look at the nearly 2,700 subsidiaries that make up UnitedHealth Group, the largest health care conglomerate in the world.

#UnitedHealth has 2,600+ subsidiaries and profits billions by denying care—even to people not on their plans.

Thanks to @wendellpotter & @cforhd for exposing the scope of @UnitedHealthGrp’s monopoly in the new #SunlightReport.

In Chicago, a Coalition of Unions, Community Organizers, and Drivers Have Forced Uber to Come to the Table As the tech industry moves increasingly into alignment with the far right, the issue of worker power has never been more important. The Chicago campaign offers some key lessons.

After 6+ years of organizing, Chicago rideshare drivers forced Uber to the table—winning a path to union rights for 100K+ drivers across Illinois.

Huge shoutout to @PeoplesLobbyUSA + Chicago Gig Alliance for leading the way.

Sulma Arias: Many people are scared about having their neighbors, family members, even themselves disappeared...This bill gives massive new funding to ICE and other parts of the government involved in Trump's abduction machine as part of their agenda.

🚨 Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is a Big Betrayal. Millions will lose Medicaid, housing, and food assistance—so billionaires can get tax cuts.

We’re building power to fight forward.

#StopTheCuts

We showed up and showed out on Capitol Hill today. 💥

People’s Action Institute packed the halls of Congress with one message: HUD CUTS KILL.

Housing is a human right—and we won’t stop until everyone has a safe place to call home.

In dark times, how do we keep organizing?

Our ED, Sulma Arias, shares a powerful reflection on strategy, coalition, and hope—even after the Big Ugly Budget Bill.

Read this month’s organizing reflection: ppls.ac/sulmaarticle
Then share your thoughts—what gives you hope right now?

The GOP budget would gut housing to give tax breaks to billionaires. We won’t let them trade our homes for handouts to the ultra-rich.

Tell your senators:
✅ Invest in housing—not greed
✅ Pass Homes Not Handcuffs

The rent is too damn high—and people are being arrested just for existing outside.

Tell your Senators:
No housing cuts. No criminalization of houselessness. No handouts for billionaires: ppls.ac/homesnotcuts

#HomesGuarantee #HomesNotCuts #GrantsPass #StopTheCuts

Our people are getting arrested in DC right now because we believe healthcare is a human right, no exceptions!

No Medicaid & SNAP cuts! No funding for ICE raids! No tax cuts for billionaires!

They can try to stop us but until this big ugly bill is dead, we will keep rising up.

Sulma Arias: How Corporate Greed Fuels Trump's Assault on Immigrants and Medicaid Make no mistake: corporations are calling the shots here.

"We need to start seeing and understanding how these seemingly separate attacks on Americans are all part of one big scheme," writes Sulma Arias, AKA @ariassulma.bsky.social, of @pplsaction.bsky.social for COURIER.

🚨 The Trump regime is disappearing our neighbors in L.A.—parents, students, protestors.

Arrests. Tear gas. Now military deployment.

We demand:
🛑 End the abductions
🛑 Return our people
🛑 No military in our communities

cause of deah: medicaid cuts

BREAKING: Constituents are in body bags blocking their GOP Senators’ office doors in DC.

Trump's spending will kill people by taking away our healthcare, our jobs, and food assistance — all so Elon Musk and Oil CEOs can get a big tax break.

Hey Senator Ron Johnson: STOP THE CUTS!

#stopthecuts #peopleoverprofits #climateaction #peopleoverpolluters #makepolluterspay

The House voted to rip care from our communities, fuel climate chaos—and reward fossil fuel CEOs.

This budget would be the biggest upward transfer of wealth and power in our lifetime.

#StopTheCuts #PeopleOverPolluters

Medicaid saves lives. That’s why we’re fighting like hell to protect it.

House Republicans just voted to slash billions from SNAP, Medicaid & Medicare, climate programs + more. All to fund another billionaire bailout.

But we're not backing down.

HUD and ICE Collude to Target Mixed-Status Families In a move that will have major impact in New York, California, and Texas, the two agencies recently agreed to work together in ways that threaten thousands of Americans.

🚨 @housedemocrats.bsky.social offered multiple amendments to the GOP's "Big Beautiful Bill," which would've blocked tax cuts to multi-millionaires and billionaires at the expense of workers and the middle class.

Republicans rejected each amendment. WATCH:

Tenants, unhoused communities & allies are rising up to say:
NO cuts to HUD.
NO giveaways to billionaires.
YES to housing as a human right.

They want to cut Medicaid.
They want to defund HUD.
They want to slash food aid and climate action.

So billionaires get massive tax cuts? That ain't right!

We’re bringing the fight to their front door.

Health care keeps our communities going. Don’t take away what helps us feel human to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Map of the U.S. showing voter support for Medicaid cuts by congressional district. Support for Medicaid cuts ranges from 5% to 11%. Created by Data for Progress and Caring Across Generations.

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.

The bullies and the billionaires are pushing a budget that will let people get sick, go hungry, and die...just so the ultra-rich can get more money.

What to know about the U.S. citizen children removed with their mothers U.S. citizen children aged 2, 4 and 7 were removed to Honduras Friday.

The Trump mass deportation machine has gone out of control: it is mistakenly sending people to a gulag in El Salvador, ignoring federal courts, and now, according to the ACLU, even deporting U.S. citizens to Honduras — children, no less. www.axios.com/2025/04/28/u...
