Congress can't decide whether to feed or care for Americans.

Millions of Americans make decisions between food or medicine every day. Its about to get way worse.

It does not have to be this choice. It's never had to be this.

But the President can find money for ballrooms. #MAGA Priorities

The Trump administration is QUIETLY KILLING DACA. Immigrant youth are our teachers, neighbors, farmworkers, and parents. They contribute billions to
our economy. We will not stay silent as this administration dismantles DACA. #ProtectDACA

In D.C., Republicans are gutting access to affordable health care. In Lansing, Republicans are refusing to step up to the plate to protect it. Medicaid saves lives. Period.

This scummy human said the quiet part out loud. Republicans focused on cutting Medicaid do not care who will die prematurely. In fact, the faster the poor and disabled die, the better (Helps them redistribute more money to the rich). Listen when people tell you who they are.

This is the conversation we need to have about Medicaid Health Coverage. We can quibble all day about who deserves or does not "deserve" Medicaid, but reality is that our Health System cannot survive 13 million uncovered people. Our healthcare system cannot survive it. EVERYONE will get hurt.
What's going on with Medicaid cuts, and how does it impact you

Hopefully this data can be used to identify any additional people deported to El Salvador on March 15 whose identities are still unknown. Their family and loved ones have a right to know where they are and what happened to them; knowledge which Trump administration has so far denied them.
New: a man 'disappeared' by ICE was not included on a government list of people deported to El Salvador's mega prison. But we found his name in a hacked flight manifest to the country. Raises questions about how much the government knows about who it is deporting www.404media.co/man-disappea...

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."

The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care.

One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:
When Families Need Housing, Georgia Will Pay for Foster Care Rather Than Provide Assistance
In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be chea...
