SHUTTING DOWN RURAL HOSPITALSโthat's the Republican agenda.
If their Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill passes, rural hospitals across America will be forced to shutter. This will hit Central & Eastern Washington the hardest.
We can kill this bill, but NOW is the time to speak up.
The Republican tax bill wonโt just kick millions off their health care, it will SPIKE premiums and RAISE costs for EVERYONE.
The cuts to Medicaid, attacks on the ACA,ย and surge in uninsured Americans will even force hospitals to close their doors.
Congress needs to REJECT these cuts.
This is how the Republicans slash Medicare without telling us theyโre slashing Medicare.

I called for an investigation into Musk's cuts at the IRS. Because he fired so many staff that audit wealthy tax cheats, we could lose $323 BILLION in tax revenue over the next decade.
Nothing efficient about that.
Here's what I told Secretary of State Marco Rubio today:
What he's done is outright illegal.
His decimation of USAID and so much else has led to senseless death and suffering, and it's left the United States weaker.
We should tear up Trump's budget and write a new one.
More of this please ๐

As you know, nearly all staff at the (IMLS) was placed on administrative leave and, as a result, all processing of grants has been suspended. W/in weeks libraries will feel the loss of these funds.
PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS. #booksky #skybrarians
โBy firing us, youโre going to cut down on how much revenue the country brings in,โ said an axed IRS specialist whoโd been brought in to audit complex tax returns filed by large corporations and wealthy individuals. โThis was not about saving money.โ

Despite what Elon Musk saysโSocial Security is NOT a Ponzi Scheme.
Social Security is a PROMISE that the American people should be able to count on after paying into it their entire lives. Repost if you agree.
This President is proving again and again he's a useful idiot for Putin and a damn disgrace.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
A good government agency is nearly invisible. You have safe food, clean water, stable power etc and you never have to think about it. The best societies have boring bureaucracy notices in the paper and not much else.

Ratepayers support BPAโNOT federal funding. This is putting our energy grid at serious risk!
We should not be cutting health care for working families to deliver massive tax breaks for billionaires.

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Life is short, and Iโve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways Iโll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and thatโs a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.
I really needed this poem today and maybe you do too? "Good Bones," by the wonderful Maggie Smith. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/89897/...
