The Big Bad Betrayal Bill is so dangerous that Little Lobbyists from as far as Alaska & Utah, dropped everything to come to DC and tell their senators, “DO NOT CUT A SINGLE DIME OFF MEDICAID!” If their electeds didn’t absorb that, hopefully this NYT article will tattoo it in their heads & hearts!

Trump's first hundred days are threatening medical research; critical programs children and families rely upon for survival; and continued access to medical supplies, equipment, and medications.
The first 100 days of the Trump administration were a five-alarm fire for families of medically complex children.
Here’s what you need to know about the lowlights of the first 100 days:

**These are not normal times, and it is up to us to ensure that this is not normalized.**
We are livid and deeply heartbroken by the actions taken by this administration in detaining and deporting a U.S. citizen child who is battling cancer. This is a clear miscarriage of justice, a profound moral failure, and a cruel betrayal of the values America claims to stand for.
