"Republican leaders are…desperately afraid the public will discover what the bill would do—rip health care away from millions, explode the deficit, and cause what might be the biggest transfer in government resources from poor to rich in American history."

Trump’s About to Slash Medicaid. TV News Has Barely Noticed.

People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses.

YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE.

Millions of people are going to die on the altar of career goals. And yet I will be viciously attacked for stating this obvious truth.

Abortion bans cause dead women to be intubated and forcibly kept alive against the family wishes.

And the family pays for it.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

I cannot muster an ounce of empathy for people who say these things.

It wasn’t about Dems being “too woke” or not articulating a plan; it was about willful ignorance and fanciful thinking.

RFK Jr. thinks that contracting measles is good for you. Yet he just attended the funerals of two children who died from the disease.

And at least 10% of measles cases end up hospitalized.

Do you think that’s good? If not, spread the word that RFK Jr. is committing #PublicHealthMalpractice

Most people have heard of Meals on Wheels. What you might not know is how vital this 71 year old program is.

It serves 251M meals to more than 2M seniors annually!

And it’s all at risk under budget cuts.
