The point is the people who don’t get to give up. The families who cannot afford a single month without coverage. The parents counting on SNAP to feed their kids. The people who live paycheck to paycheck, who get sick, who need care, and who deserve dignity."

I’m sad and I’m furious. The Senate voted to reopen without securing healthcare protections. Millions still stand to lose coverage.
The fight shifts to the House now. There are cracks. Pressure matters. If you’re in a GOP district, call your Rep.
