I underscore that Medicaid, SNAP, and other supports for families “are lifelines that give kids a solid start, esp families who face extra hurdles.”
The Senate must reject these dangerous cuts.

First, they came for USAID. When Trump and Elon decide your priorities are next—cancer research, disaster relief, Social Security—what will you do? There’s a legal process for a reason. Letting them ignore it means nothing is safe.

The President's funding freeze is no "technocratic pause."
As I told @citizencohn.bsky.social "Delay of payment = pain for people. People who are homeless. People who are struggling to put food on the table. People awaiting cancer treatment.”

Bittersweet final visit. I’ll never forget how hard people worked to try to level the playing field and make life a bit easier for working families. Now we will’ll get to see how the oligarchs tackle the troubles ahead.

This is their childcare plan: raising money from voters to pay family for childcare. Doesn’t bode well for the rest of us.
Trump campaign paid JD Vance’s aunt $1,000 for “childcare services” a week after the election.

Remember when being a woman was a pre-existing medical condition? Insurance companies could actually deny coverage for pregnancies.
MAGA Republicans have promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act and leave every person in the US with a pre existing condition vulnerable again.
We will stop them!
