As a born & raised Philadelphian, I KNEW the Eagles would beat the Chiefs. BUT, Kendrick Lamar w/Samuel Jackson is the BEST Black Nationalist protest I’ve EVER seen! We ARE Black & Proud; & that bullpuckey chump is pulling with his Apartheid benefactor, Musky, we DISallow it! Bigots, keep #FAFO!✌🏾💚✊🏾

Please, please listen, I am literally begging you:

I'm a healthcare lawyer who is alive because of Medicaid. I just came from Hill meetings about Medicaid. I'm very plugged into "the groups" — if you're covered by Medicaid, do not cancel anything medical because of the OMB mess.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

trump’s freeze on federal aide? In the next two years count on:
* Children in America will suffer:
- viral illness
- death of low-income babies born prematurely (no Medicaid/NICU)
- cancer
- childhood disease (no vax)
* A 20-50% increase in childhood hunger
* big increase in teen suicide🤬

trump made Columbia’s prez/pm roll over—with the quickness in a most shameful way. Two points: 1) Dear ALL people in this world; the majority of Americans are NOT representative of maga. Judge trump voters, not us; & 2) trump’s gonna bully the wrong 1 on the right day. #PrepareYourself
