If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.

Thank you to Stacy for sharing her story - and for doing what any parent would do to make sure their daughter has the care she needs to live at home.
As this bill on GOP Medicaid cuts goes back to the House, it’s not too late to remind Washington politicians just how much is at stake.

Kinda undermines the whole MAHA healthy food agenda, right?
ICE raids are leaving fields full of rotting food in California.
Even the documented workers are not showing up.
And guess what? You’ll still want your strawberries then you’ll pay more for imported ones.
This isn’t border security.
It’s cruel economic sabotage, dressed up as patriotism.

My wife has been in memory care unit for a year. She is in the advanced stage of Alzheimers dementia. There is no way I can take care of her at home. Medicaid along with her Social Security is paying for her care. Lots of others in her unit that have no home to go to. What will happen to her/them?
