Patently absurd that the Democrats spent most of last week going after Zohran Mamdani instead of focusing on rallying against the bill

just for the record: this is a concentration camp and is not OK
Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

If you're in Illinois and you're affected by the provisions in the federal budget bill that would ban Medicaid covering gender-affirming care, and you'd be interested in talking about it, please send me a message. Looking to potentially talk about this on The 21st Show in the coming weeks.

The House just passed a massive attack on trans people and literally NO MEDIA OUTLET is covering it
Transition care literally saves lives. This is an effective ban on transition care. It will literally kill people.

🚨 In addition to banning gender affirming medical treatment through Medicaid, Trump's reconciliation bill PROHIBITS health insurance purchased through Obamacare exchanges from offering transition care.
Detransition care, though, is specifically protected. CALL YOUR HOUSE REPS!

Buried in the tax bill: "no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act."
