Patty Murray

It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.

NOEM v. VASQUEZ PERDOMO SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting this Court decides to take the once-extraordinary step of staying the District Court’s order. That decision is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.

Justice Sotomayor is crystal clear in dissent as to what's happening: "We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history

BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Important to note— it’s not like they are gutting #Medicaid #SNAP and other programs to SAVE money… NO—they’re doing that and adding trillions to the National debt just to fund tax cuts for the rich

PS Make no mistake we can invest in these things AND address the deficit, the rich are doing fine.

CALL YOUR SENATORS—TELL THEM TO VOTE NO AND PROTECT MEDICAID!

For every disabled person, caregiver, care worker & Senior in your life, then call again. Don’t forget—even if the Senate votes Yes, this will have to go back to the House. We must stop this, and we can!

#VoteNo

It's urgent. Call both your US Senators.
No cuts to Medicaid.

One of the things I most admire about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is that while he is has been the subject of the most ridiculous, hateful smear campaign, I know he’s going to wake up every day and say even if you hate me, I’m here to serve you as a New Yorker.

as struggling NYC waitresses. We still laugh about our exasperated boss joking “Only one cherry tomato on the salad, girls . . . or you’re fired!”)
