AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
The House GOP just passed a budget framework that will cut Medicaid and other health care, veterans’ benefits, food assistance, and other vital programs—all to give billionaires like Elon Musk tax cuts that they don’t need or deserve.

Today is the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act—which Brad Schimel led the charge to gut.
Hundreds of thousands of people would’ve lost their health insurance because of him, including those with pre-existing conditions.
Folks in Milwaukee are fired up to stop Schimel again.
Killing three dozen elementary school children with an AR gets "thoughts and prayers," but vandalizing a Tesla is "domestic terrorism?"
This country is broken
“The regs slated for repeal, affecting…sources of pollution, had been set to deliver at least $254bn in economic benefits annually via lowered healthcare costs and fewer sick days [etc]. By contrast, the cost of complying with the regulations is around $40bn a year.”

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.
Trump is lying about helping kids with brain cancer.
How do I know?
Because I know a scientist at Broad (Harvard & MIT joint project) who works on childhood brain cancer.
He has a lost all his longitudinal studies due to Trump’s funding freezes.

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich.
How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?
Students WILL be harmed by this action, and our most vulnerable students will be harmed the most. Our teachers will be harmed by losing access to the research, guidance and training IES provides on evidence-based practice. Read the full story here: apnews.com/.../ies-musk....

IES is one of the country’s largest funders of education research, and the slashing of contracts could mean a significant loss of public knowledge about schools.

So let's get this straight. Republican legislators are sitting on a >$4 billion surplus as schools and local governments all over the state go to referendum or raise sales tax (the latest GOP shell game). Now, Republicans are introducing a bill limiting those measures. www.cbs58.com/news/gop-law...

One GOP proposal takes aim squarely at parents raising children on their own by eliminating the “head of household” filing status to reap some $200B more in taxes over a decade from single parents and other adults caring for dependents on their own.

As Chair of the HIV/AIDS Caucus, let me be clear: erasing HIV/AIDS content from government websites helps literally no one. It endangers public health and abandons those who rely on these critical resources. Reckless and stupid.

Cultural shift strategy: the right floats an idea designed to stoke outrage ex "ASL interpreters are distracting and using up valuable resources meant for you, our base". Influencers perpetuate the IDEA, it gets media attention, the base buys in. Legislators can pass laws against marginalized people without fear of repercussions framing it as a mandate from their voters or a way to take the resources back to those who "deserve" them
Also want to say a bit about why things like removing accessibility page, ASL, and screen reading capabilities from the White House website matter. It feels performative, and it is. It's a coordinated effort to shift cultural norms.
