Great explanation of how we are all going to see increases in health insurance- no matter how you get yours- if you’re lucky enough to afford it to begin with. Insurance costs are going up for everyone. The stakes are going to be high for those who really need it who have a chronic disease.
The White House keeps saying this is about health care for immigrants.

That’s an OUTRIGHT LIE and a blatant attempt to distract you from the fact that they’re trying to increase ALL our premiums – no matter what insurance you have.

McGovern: "So I say to my Republican colleagues -- what's wrong with you people? In this bill you provide a $2 billion tax break for gun silencers, but you cut SNAP benefits for vulnerable families. Jesus Christ!"

To my colleagues at Harvard with recently terminated NIH and NSF grants, please, please report them below.

We’re told of at least 200 NSF grants and widespread NIH terminations.

NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h...

And please spread the word 🙏

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?

Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more.

Taking back our power starts now.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 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.

The chain reaction of who will suffer from this decision is significant for states like Colorado. Farmers, school districts, kids and food banks who serve those in need. It is clear this administration doesn’t care about anyone but themselves. Please don’t call yourselves Christians or pro-life.
The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from local farms and ranchers, halting more than $1 billion in federal spending. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

States have been notified that they will not receive 2025 funding for schools to buy food from nearby farms.

Great piece to understand Medicaid & what’s at stake. Pass it on & call your congress members. People with disabilities, children and seniors will suffer the most!
Republicans in Congress have suggested big cuts to Medicaid. But what exactly is it?

This is insane and cannot pass @crow.house.gov @bennet.senate.gov @hickenlooper.senate.gov
The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.
The Christian Nationalist Plot to Disenfranchise Women Voters
The SAVE Act, which purports to fend off the phantasmal threat of voter fraud, would throw millions of women off the voting rolls.

This is sickening. How embarrassing for our country. If you’ve been asleep on the sidelines, WAKE UP. We suspected this would happen. We were warned. Too many millions of people didn’t believe it. And here we are… Fight for our democracy. Speaks out. Advocate. Educate.
In case it wasn’t clear before, the U.S. is officially aligned with Russia

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Harriet Tubman is an American shero! After escaping slavery, she led enslaved people to freedom via the Underground Railroad, served as an armed scout & spy for the Union Army, fought in the women's suffrage movement & generously donated her $. Black history is American history. #BlackHistoryMonth

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all.
