Nine years ago today, 49 people were murdered & 53 injured at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando.
Today we grieve for those lost and for their families and their loved ones.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid.
Over a third of all kids have health care thanks to Medicaid.
More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid.
So understand this: when the GOP attacks Medicaid, they attack families in every community.

Such a beautiful poem by Ada Limón. 🥰
mother's day is a challenging, conflicted one for me, as i'm sure it is for so many. but i can't help but think again of this beautiful poem by Ada Limón—
![The Raincoat
by Ada Limón
When the doctor suggested surgery
and a brace for all my youngest years,
my parents scrambled to take me
to massage therapy, deep tissue work,
osteopathy, and soon my crooked spine
unspooled a bit, I could breathe again,
and move more in a body unclouded
by pain. My mom would tell me to sing
songs to her the whole forty-five minute
drive to Middle Two Rock Road and forty-
five minutes back from physical therapy.
She’d say, even my voice sounded unfettered
by my spine afterward. So I sang and sang,
because I thought she liked it. I never
asked her what she gave up to drive me,
or how her day was before this chore. Today,
at her age, I was driving myself home from yet
another spine appointment, singing along
to some maudlin but solid song on the radio,
and I saw a mom take her raincoat off
and give it to her young daughter when
a storm took over the afternoon. My god,
I thought, my whole life I’ve been under her
raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel
that I never got wet.
