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.

Don't cut my Medicaid!
The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities.
Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

Tesla sales in Europe are plummeting, with Germany down 60% and France 63% in January. Key factor: backlash over Elon Musk’s far-right affiliations, including support for AfD in Germany. His politics now impact Tesla’s market perception. This is the way.

Thank you so much. It was a very stressful day. It has been difficult seeing my clients but acting like everything will be so okay so that I don’t add to their anxiety.
Yesterday two dear friends needed me to speak up for them. One provides services for people on the autism spectrum whose employment depends on government funding frozen by FOTUS. The other has a Down Syndrome child who depends on caregivers paid by government grants. Shit got real.
