If this “budget” bill passes, I am one of the people who will lose access to life-saving medication and medical care.
America is dying and the GOP is fueling the flames at record speed. Cruelty is the point. Death is the point. That’s their goals.
If you have not called your reps yet… why not?

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich.
Thread on the next steps of the process.

Republicans don’t cut deficits. They add to them. They complain about “runaway government spending” and stick it to the poor while slipping millions of $$ to their super-rich donors.

The Trump HHS approach to transgender youth is not "greater emphasis on psychtherapy." It is "ONLY psychotherapy," with the explicit goal of making trans youth no longer transgender.
It IS conversion therapy.
Washington post is an absolute right wing rag at this point.

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as *Air Force One*
Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

To be clear: the Trump administration is trying to send migrants to Libya specifically *because* of their gross human rights record - not in spite of it.
They want people to be afraid to come here, so they’re sending them to the worst places they can find.
