Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.
Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.
Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.
That.

“For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality."
This is a rather telling statement. Nearly a third of women in Louisiana are Black. www.businessinsider.com/gop-senator-...
Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women, GOP senator says
Louisiana's Bill Cassidy said the state's maternal death rate isn't so high if you "correct our population for race," Politico reported.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

As a former disability services social worker who witnessed firsthand how many people and services depend on Medicaid, I am deeply worried about the far reaching consequences even a temporary federal freeze on available funding will have.

Just got off the phone with a medical provider who accepts Medicaid. Because they are shut out from the Medicaid portal, they might not be able to make payroll. They exclusively serve low-income Floridians.
