I am terrified that Medicaid and Medicare will be cut and I’ll lose my healthcare; AND I’m simultaneously really excited about my new carrot peeler. I guess this is being an adult in 2025.

A sad day for America—Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist, has been arrested by ICE, not for any crime, but for his political activism. The Trump administration claims he was involved in “pro-terrorist” activities, yet no formal charges have been filed.

I just spoke to a rep from Bernie Moreno’s office who told me, “Medicaid is not getting cut, anyone who needs Medicaid will get it” but when I asked where the $880 billion tax cut was coming from he just repeated the quote to me like a parrot over and over again Call your senators Demand a town hall

We had literal Nazis protesting in Cincinnati a few weeks ago and the police protected them despite despising their rhetoric. Because hate speech/ideologies is still FREE SPEECH. The President doesn’t get to decide what constitutes as free speech based on whether it serves him or not.
Trump posted: ‘All federal funding will STOP for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS!’

I met a 74 year old woman in the gym who has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. She approached me because we had matching thumb braces. I said it was encouraging to meet someone older. I worry what my future will look like as my health seems to just get worse. She replied, “who are you calling old” I love her.

Yesterday, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid.

Today, he endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid.

Republicans will say anything in their plot to take money from you and give it to their billionaire donors. It's all lies and broken promises.

Trump said in an interview with Elon Musk that he wouldn't touch Medicaid. Hours later he endorsed a GOP plan that could slash the program.
Donald Trump said he would "love and cherish" Medicaid. He's endorsed a House GOP proposal that would likely gut the program.

The only reason I was able to complete my education as a disabled American was because of DEI principles upheld and protected by the Department of Education. Education is a fundamental right, not a privilege for the wealthy. Call your representatives, I’m begging you.
Education Department employees on probation were abruptly dismissed without cause across the department this morning. Staff have been warned that more layoffs are coming.

Yeah, that’s not suspicious at ALL
What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Proud of the hundreds that came out last night to protest in downtown Cincinnati 💙

If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN
