If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses.

Muir Woods exhibit is first casualty of White House directive to erase history "In order to know your role in history, you need to see yourself in it."

We get it. Big words and history can be hard. Might as well just get rid of the signs that tell the story of the place you’re visiting.

Good thing we have found an app for that! (1/2)

Buckle up, kids... we've got a story you need to know about our patron saint and North Star, Frances Perkins.

In 1933, she became the first female Cabinet Secretary—and as Secretary of Labor, she didn’t just advance New Deal reforms, she also took a stand for Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi terror.

Thank you to Stacy for sharing her story - and for doing what any parent would do to make sure their daughter has the care she needs to live at home.

As this bill on GOP Medicaid cuts goes back to the House, it’s not too late to remind Washington politicians just how much is at stake.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just rammed through Trump’s massively unpopular Big Ugly bill after 26+ straight hours of debate.

It’s not over yet, the House MUST reject this bill. Now is the time to speak up and get loud.

NO CUTS TO MEDICAID. KILL THIS BILL!

It’s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: “Alligator Alcatraz”— but they can’t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.

How a Decades-Old Loophole Lets Billionaires Avoid Medicare Taxes Some of Wall Street’s richest and most powerful figures are using a legal loophole to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes earmarked for health care, a ProPublica investigation found.

Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes. Closing it — and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners — could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program.

My wife has been in memory care unit for a year. She is in the advanced stage of Alzheimers dementia. There is no way I can take care of her at home. Medicaid along with her Social Security is paying for her care. Lots of others in her unit that have no home to go to. What will happen to her/them?

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.

I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.

Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

War: A necessary diversion from the fact that our representatives are pushing a budget that increases the national deficit, permanently decreases taxes for the rich, and shamelessly guts programs that keep veterans and vulnerable citizens alive.
