In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come.
The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid
Have compassion.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

Medicaid touches health care in every stage of life, for Washingtonians in every corner of our state.
Federal cuts to Medicaid would be felt by all Washingtonians, regardless of ZIP code or party affiliation.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

This is my favorite thing I've ever read in my entire life
It’s because all the kids are going to Harvard and majoring in Lesbian instead of going to a trade school and learning banana construction.

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year.

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.

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit.
House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent.
They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.
