Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

I am wondering how selfish some people may think I am?
Losing my access to healthcare through the Affordable Care Act will probably, most likely lead to my dying sooner rather than later.

The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office says the Trump administration broke the law by withholding funding for the nation’s libraries as part of its federal reorganization plan. The G.A.O. will sue if the administration continues to block funds already approved by Congress.

I’m requesting that FEMA include commercial and multi-family residential properties in their Los Angeles wildfire debris removal efforts.
Our state stands with Los Angeles residents and businesses.
The only way we can fully recover is to do it together.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.
The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

If they do this, they can use the insurance companies for their networks and software. But better yet, I think direct contracting is the future.
For my employees, we are direct contracting with providers. We are stipulating that there will be no pre authorizations. We will trust the provider

It’s absolutely infuriating that MSNBC and democrats are publicly admonishing Biden’s pardon. He CHANGED HIS MIND based upon a clear and very real political threat. These denouncements are far more detrimental to our justice system than their messaging against Biden’s decision.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
