At the same time the Trump Admin is cutting health care, nutrition assistance, & emergency services in the name of ‘efficiency’ & ‘savings,’ they have enabled DOGE’s reckless waste of at least $21.7 billion. My new PSI report is a searing indictment of DOGE’s false claims.

That’s not how vaccines—or science—work. Time for a #FactCheckFriday!

The republicans in the house just voted to increase the debt ceiling, reduce taxes to the most wealthy while gutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits.
House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt

MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her.
She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.
