The Senate reconciliation bill retains the trans healthcare Medicaid/CHIP ban.
Call your Senators, we still have a good shot at killing this provision.
Hundreds of thousands of people rely on this care.

It is useful to be precise in our language about the Democratic party.
There is an institutional Democratic party establishment that is lost and failing us right now.
But when we use "Democrats" as a catch-all, there are whole swaths of activated everyday folks we alienate.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.
