AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

Whether you get your forecast from an app on your phone, a website or a meteorologist on TV, most of the underlying information comes from the federal government.

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid.

Members of Congress should take note.

On Tuesday, the Food and Drug Administration announced that Covid booster shots will be limited to people over 65 and those with pre-existing health conditions that would put them at higher risk of acute complications.
FDA to cut Covid booster access, excluding in-home carers
By restricting vaccinations, "the FDA creates a dangerous public health gap."

They're arresting Members of Congress.

Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order.

Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.

I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Flack that.
The FDA will permit Covid vaccines only for adults over 65 and those with certain medical conditions in the fall, according to new regulatory standards.

This is devastating to me (in the US), especially now. 🥲😳
I listen to talkback on BBC radio ulster daily , I’m living in the Republic of Ireland and when I opened the bbc sounds app today I was told it was unavailable to me as I was listening outside the uk. Is this some Brexit thing or some kind of protectionist backlash against Trump. I’m all LBC now😢

The BBC is going to make Sounds unavailable outside the UK. Some 44m listen to BBC radio worldwide. Particularly at the present, it seems a nonsensical decision. Please sign and share.

It’s probably not realistic to think anyone can keep up with daily changes, but is anyone or any org collecting info about changes that affect small businesses across the country??
Maybe I’ll have to start if I can tolerate the anxiety.
Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed

Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?
