Recently, I've been hearing from a lot of people that because the word 'Medicaid' doesn't appear in the majority party's budget resolution, it won't be impacted.

So, let me set the record straight: under their budget, Medicaid will be cut.

Here's how:

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Tomorrow, my bill repealing the ban on same sex marriage will be heard in House Judiciary at 8am.

The ban on same sex marriage has remained in our state constitution since the early 2000s, despite being deemed unconstitutional for the last decade. It's time to remove it.

I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues.

I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower costs for American families.

miraculously, the senate dems managed to unanimously stand against a nationwide ban on trans women in sports and this fucking waxy asshole decides, now is the perfect time announce my alignment with the republicans. stupid fuck
the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Donald Trump ran on the promise that he'd lower costs.

Instead, Illinoisans are paying the price of the Trump’s Tax on Working Families.

And worst of all, he'll keep taking away health care, child care, and more for the middle class – all for his friends at Mar-a-Lago.

For those wondering why there’s a bear on California flag—it’s a tribute to CA’s strength, defiance, & fearless independence. In 1846, CA rebelled & was briefly its own country. The last of the grizzlies were wiped out by 1920s, but their spirit lives on. Bold, rebellious, & unmistakably Californian
