Republicans in the U.S. House voted yes on a budget bill today that sets up the reconciliation process to strip nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid to pay for tax giveaways to billionaires like Elon Musk. Pass it on.

Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race.

If Republicans make massive cuts to Medicaid, it will impact all aspects of our health care system. Millions of kids will lose coverage, hospital and insurance rates will soar and nursing homes will shut down.
All this in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires.
