Senate Republicans just proposed a backdoor cut to Medicaid. Their new tax bill would slash how states fund the program—hurting hospitals, especially in rural communities. This is a direct hit on working families’ healthcare. politico.com/live-updates/2…

Mass raids. Military force. No due process. Courthouse arrests. This isn't “border policy.” This 👏🏿 is 👏🏿 authoritarianism. 👏🏿 nytimes.com/2025/06/16/opi…

#Juneteenth is a reminder and a reckoning. Black freedom didn’t come easy—and neither does Black dignity in today’s America. From the plantation to the picket line, our fight has always been for liberation. And we’re still fighting.

We talked people power today on the State of the People tour. I was honored to be joined by Alphonso David, Rashad Robinson, Kimberly Blackwell, Larry Parks, and Pastor Jamal Bryant as we focused on the impact of labor on community liberation. Let’s get it y’all! #StateOfThePeople

The vast majority of Americans oppose cutting Medicaid. This budget bill is not for us, not for working Americans. This budget bill is for the greedy elite. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Let me break it down: Tax cuts for billionaires? Approved. Military parades? Funded. Deportation raids? Locked and loaded. Healthcare for workers? “Too expensive.” Food aid? “Gotta cut somewhere.” We see what y’all prioritize—and we say HELL NO.

Rural hospitals in red states are on the brink and Medicaid cuts will shutter them, strip care, and destroy jobs. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: People. Will. Die. msn.com/en-us/news/pol…

You can’t scream “support rural America” and slash the one program keeping rural hospitals alive. Save Medicaid.

The richest country in the world can afford to feed its people and heal its sick. The fact that it doesn’t? It’s more than a policy failure, it’s a moral failure.

They always say “we can’t afford it”—but only when it’s food stamps, Medicaid, or care for our elders. Funny how there’s never a budget cap for bombs or billionaires.

Slashing Medicaid isn't just cruel—it’s deadly. Hospitals will close. Patients will go without care. All so billionaires can get another tax break? Hell no. politico.com/newsletters/fu…

Every time they say “waste,” they mean your kid’s doctor. Every time they say “reform,” they mean kicking families off healthcare. #HandsOffMedicaid #ThisBillKills

Rent is still sky high. Jobs are being slashed. And the billionaires are doing just fine. That’s why workers are out in record numbers—peacefully demanding a country that works for all of us.

You can’t separate climate justice from worker justice. Agricultural workers are out in 100+ degree heat with NO federal protections. No shade, no water, no breaks. While billionaires stay cool in their boardrooms, working people are DYING from heat. cnn.com/2025/06/24/wea…

America’s public service workers don’t work for profits, politics, or for glory – they serve our nation. Trump wanted to strip these workers of their right to organize. But the courts just reminded him: You don’t silence the labor movement.
