That certainly takes balls to cut 17 million people off health care and then announce you're spending $200 million to build a new ballroom. Let them eat cake.

I don't know how to reach the people who need to hear this: WHEN THEY OFFER A WORK OR EDUCATION CAMP FOR YOUR DISABLED CHILD, DO NOT SEND THEM TO THE CAMP.
I REPEAT: DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO A GOVT CAMP.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.
This is a manifesto against disability.
This is the language of eugenics.

Republicans are not immune to public pressure.
Everybody hates this Big Ugly bill—and for good reason. Keep speaking up so that everyone knows what this bill actually does.
NO cuts to Medicaid. NO cuts to SNAP.
Every Senator should vote NO on Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
