Is your state plan subsidized by Medicaid? If so, Republicans are about to take your insurance and you might not even know.
Why don’t more people care Medicaid will be cut? Maybe because they don’t know they’re on it…

But we can deal with it incl. thru filing class actions & already filed the first one!

The Supreme Court is about to go on an extended summer vacation, after having blown up the docket of every single lower court judge who has been working like a dog to deal with the firehose of illegal orders coming out of this administration.
If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

This is the line from the horrific SCOTUS decision today that will stick with me. “Sure, the president should follow the law - but the courts can’t force him to do it.” Rendering the Constitution a dead letter if the president decides he’d rather not deal with it.

This move by Kennedy is just awful
Gavi works in close partnership (operationally and financially) with governments around the world to distribute life-saving vaccines to children. Their work has saved nearly 20 million lives since 2000.
Kennedy is either misinformed or lying, but either way children will die as a result.
