Congress is rebranding the BIG budget bill “Healthcare Reform.” Nonsense. The bill will gut Medicaid, affect Medicare [YES, Medicare!] & reduce ACA enrollment—to fund tax cuts for the rich. Are you enrolled in Medicaid, Medicare or the ACA now? What if the bill passes? Then what? @lwvus.bsky.social

This quote reminds us that open, honest conversations between parents and kids are the antidote to fear… and fear is what fuels censorship. When we trust young readers and engage with them about what they read, we build critical thinking, connection, and empathy.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
