This is revolting. There is no way this should be within the state or federal government’s control
In Georgia, women’s bodies are merely human incubators. Just ask Adriana Smith’s family.

"Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices."

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans
The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

I’m proud of my senator for being outspoken about this. Pete Hegseth absolutely needs to resign. Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Waltz, and John Ratcliffe all need to go, too. You cannot be a leader in national security or defense and not be diligent about things like this.
Pilot to Hegseth: "You’re going to kill somebody.”
For the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go.

Ugh. Mask bans are ridiculous, and I’m super disappointed when Democrats push for them.
It was abundantly clear after the first 9 months of the pandemic that few people care about disabled and immunocompromised people. But banning masks? The only reason I am able to go anywhere is because I mask

According to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, Gov. Hochul has four main priorities she's pushing for in budget talks:
- Mask ban
- Discovery reform changes
- Involuntary commitment
- Bell to bell cellphone ban in schools

Yeah, they’re trying to hide things in the CR. It is not just a way for them to avoid a government shutdown next month. They are also trying to use it to push through parts of their agenda. Don’t let them get away with this.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

He will absolutely destroy both programs, with the help of RFK. They both have unhinged and ridiculous views on medicine. Oz doesn’t deserve to keep his medical license for all the harm he has already caused and will continue to cause if he is confirmed.

I’m one of those people. If I lose my Medicaid coverage, I will die. Not immediately, but within a few months. I will lose access to the medical support that keeps me alive.
The really frustrating part is that I’m in this position because I was assaulted at work while I was a public HS teacher.

Check in with the people in your life who rely on Medicaid. Ask them what impact it would have on their life if they lost their coverage. Many are terrified right now.
Medicaid covers nearly half of all births in the country, and around two-thirds of nursing home stays.
AOC tells it: Anyone who votes for this budget this week is voting to gut vital healthcare for over 72 million Americans.

Every MSNBC anchor who has lost their show this week is a POC - Reid, Wagner, Phang, Diaz-Balart, Capehart, and Mohyeldin. This is extremely problematic, especially when you consider it within the context of the prominent and racist actions taken by the current president and his team.
Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Marc Elías continues to be one of the most important voices we have in the fight to save our democracy. We need more leaders like him.
I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.
I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

These mass layoffs make no sense. These are jobs that require special training and are always understaffed.
These layoffs will make it less safe to fly in the US, and there will likely be more crashes than the 7 that have already happened in less than 3 weeks.

I’m trying to keep this in mind, but it’s getting more difficult daily. I’m disabled and rely on Medicaid to stay alive. If the ACA is repealed or if Medicaid is cut and I lose that coverage? I won’t be able to afford my insulin, and I’ll die. I am also on SNAP.
