Everyone who follows me should call their Senator this morning to urge them to vote in favor of Wyden’s point of order and remove the Medicaid funding ban for transgender care from Trump’s horror bill.
Today, senator Ron Wyden will raise a point of order to remove the Medicaid and CHIP ban on gender affirming care. The Republicans need 60 votes to keep it in but they only have 53. Call your Dem senator today and urge them to vote to strip the ban from the bill. Senate switchboard 202-224-3121.

Landmark Report Finds Major Flaws in the Cass Review
“These issues significantly undermine the validity of the Cass Review’s recommendations, such that the Review fails to fulfil its aims as commissioned and should not be used as the basis for policy.”

Twitter people are talking about the CNN poll showing that people "approve" of Trump's handling of gender identity.

Turns out though when you look at the crosstabs, Democrats and Independents do not approve of Trump's handling of trans issues.

But Republicans absolutely love it.

If you want to help disabled people fight New York's proposed mask ban... wear a mask.

If more people would mask up in solidarity, these important accessibility tools would be harder to ban.

Help us normalize masking and protect your health in the process!

@slotkin.senate.gov wants to know what AOC & Bernie have actually done? They've been rallying people against oligarchy and fascism. Her? She's been voting for Trump's agenda and nominees. We need more leaders w/ moral clarity like Bernie, fewer like Schumer/Slotkin who have driven us into the ground

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

THEY ARE NOT FUNNELING MONEY BACK INTO THE ECONOMY!!! For the love of god, pay attention. All the taxes you pay that went to Medicare, SSI, SNAP, funding the FDA, CDC, etc etc, will now be paying for billionaires' tax breaks. And no, you're not going to magically get rich and get a cut. Wake up.

NEW: Trump has just signed an Executive Order sanctioning the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing it of targeting America & “our close ally Israel".

History shows those most likely to attack the ICC are also those mostly likely to be indicted by it.

The order accuses the Hague-based body of creating a "shameful moral equivalency" between Hamas and Israel, the White House says.
