It’s hard to fathom how devastating this will be…

At 6:00 pm, the House votes on a budget that guts Medicaid —ripping healthcare from low-income families, sick kids & seniors—all to fund tax cuts for the rich. Children will lose life-saving care so billionaires can hoard more.

For a quick sugar high to “own the libs,” the attempts to shutter USAID would do long term damage that couldn’t be reversed for a generation. My latest:

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.

But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

Medicaid was a LIFESAVER for so many Americans during the height of Covid. But it's ALSO a program that helps everyone from the poorest Americans to Seniors to people like me with disabilities. We DEPEND on Medicaid, We NEED Medicaid, not just to thrive but to stay ALIVE. I'd lose access to my meds.

I hope EVERY North Carolina VOTER shares their thoughts on Senator Tillis with his office. DC Phone: (202) 224-6342
This is one of the most egregious breaches of faith I’ve ever seen a public official commit.

Sen. Tillis convinced Hegseth’s sister-in-law to publicly sign her letter by promising to vote against Hegseth’s nomination, then voted Yes anyway, casting the deciding vote. It’s a staggering betrayal.

The North Carolina senator provided pivotal 50th ‘yes’ vote to confirm Hegseth as defense secretary.

Privatizing the VA means putting our veterans' healthcare in the hands of corporations that prioritize profits over people. We can't let this happen!

They'll start with the VA, then move on to Medicare & Medicaid.

Save veterans' healthcare!!

The freezing of all federal grants, firing of all the inspector generals, pardoning of all the Jan. 6th felons, the onslaught of Vice raids... FOTUS has declared war on the country. He's tearing down our democracy and our economy, and once broken, he'll seize control of it all. We fucking told you.

Trump’s recent executive orders would completely upend the equilibrium established by the Constitution and endorsed by EVERY Supreme Court Justice except perhaps Thomas and Alito. It’s a dictatorial version of the presidency.

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.

We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm.

Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.
