Happening now: Hakeem Jeffries holds a press conference with Rev. William Barber and others, decrying cuts to healthcare and voicing concerns about expiring SNAP benefits.

Jeffries calls healthcare cuts โ€œpolicy violence.โ€

Barber says they asked Johnson for a meeting, but he was โ€œtoo busyโ€

15 million Americans will be losing life-saving Medicaid insurance; 24 million will lose Obamacare tax credits; 22.3 million families will lose SNAP benefits. This is cruel and barbaric โ€” and yet bcz their Fรผhrer has ordered it, all 53 Republicans refuse to negotiate.

As I noted on FB this morning: the idea that opposing red flag laws will keep Maine people, including Maine gun owners, "safe" is some of the most ridiculous, infuriating, deceptive advertising I have ever seen! Please vote YES on 2!!!

"The even more human part of this is, think about the families that are on SNAP. They rely on this for literally putting food on the table. About three quarters of those families now are saying they're genuinely stressed. Nearly half are saying that they're going to be skipping meals."
