Let’s be very clear: even if you are not a Medicaid recipient, cuts to the program will impact you. Without Medicaid funds, rural hospitals, maternity wards, and nursing homes will be shuttered. Having private health insurance won’t do you much good when there’s nowhere to go.

UPDATE: I guess being a right-wing billionaire means never having to hear “no.” Betsy DeVos’s voucher scheme is back in the Senate bill after a few small tweaks to sneak through. This would ram vouchers into states that don’t want them.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Chris Murphy 🟧 Lots of Medicaid plans aren’t called Medicaid. These are all Medicaid plans: •Alaska – DenaliCare •Arizona – Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) •California – Medi-Cal •Colorado – Health First Colorado •Connecticut – HUSKY Health •Hawaii – Med-QUEST

Ben, a disabled 14-year-old from Chesterfield, VA, isn’t “minutiae.” His health insurance isn’t minutiae. His future isn’t minutiae. Medicaid matters and I am fighting to protect it.

Once again at this time just before the 4th of July, and inspired by my friend, Principal Kafele, I am reading Frederick Douglass's, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" Particularly in today's political climate and changing society, it resonates powerfully with all of us

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost *14M* lives thru 2030. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Very important point - lots and lots of people on Medicaid don't realize that they're on it and are potentially at risk of being kicked off it.

Today marks the 61st Anniversary of the #CivilRightsActof1964. Here, President #LBJ signs the act as #MLK and legislators look on. The act: • Barred unequal application of voter registration requirements. • Outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion or national

Reminder from our furry friends: July 4th is ONE DAY with the scary-noisy fireworks, not the whole week. Thank you.

This is a lie. Undocumented immigrants don’t get benefits and they don’t get to vote. They work for subpar wages, pay into social security but never get to collect it.

TX Rep. James Talarico (grandson of a Baptist preacher): “What would Jesus do? — as Christians we are called to do more than charity, we are called to challenge systems that make charity necessary.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer Sen. Marsha Blackburn Rep. Tim Burchett Rep. Andy Ogles Chuck Fleischmann

“The state of Texas has no right to dictate to children how many gods to worship, which gods to worship, or whether to worship any gods at all.”

Weird priorities. President Trump is illegally withholding $7 billion Congress appropriated for afterschool and summer programs, teacher training and other educational needs. Meanwhile, he’s demanding a trillion in tax breaks for the 1%. That's not what the American people want.

Hard to overstate how far off the historic rails fed commitment to public ed has gone: Offices shuttered. Programs for students eliminated. $ withheld, including for rural schools. Persistent threats. Now, new budget pumps billions into private vouchers. edweek.org/policy-politic…

With very little explanation, the Education Department abruptly blocked the release of nearly $7 billion set to be distributed on July 1. The money, which Congress already approved, helps support six grant programs, including after-school and summer learning, English-language

Fewer than six percent of physicians in the U.S. are Black and experts are worried that Trump’s 'big bill' could widen that disparity. The legislation would cap federal student loans for professional degrees at $200,000. In 2024, the Association Of American Medical Colleges said

Imagine you are a single working parent relying on summer camps to keep your child safe & their learning on track. Now imagine you don’t earn enough to pay for fancy private camps & just learned the Trump admin won’t release funds for your kids’ camps. /1 thehill.com/homenews/educa…
