While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

If you’re a North Carolinian, you can check whether your name or the names of anyone you know is on the list of the 65K voters whose votes may be tossed. You could have an opportunity to fix it if so.

This makes me want to scream!! 📢📢📢
A1: The House bill includes AT LEAST $880 BILLION in cuts, which would mean a massive cut in the Federal funding that states bring in every year, causing cuts from health insurance coverage all the way to long-term care. #WellnessWed
Q1: With the House advancing its budget resolution, Medicaid is now facing potential cuts. How significant are these proposed reductions, and what would they mean for states and the people who rely on Medicaid? #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters

A5: Medicaid is a key source of funding for maternal health care, including pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum care. Expanded access to Medicaid has been shown to reduce maternal mortality and improve health outcomes for mothers and babies. Cuts to Medicaid would destroy that progress. #WellnessWed

It is mind boggling to think about cutting funding for prenatal, postnatal, and pregnancy care, given the extremely high maternal mortality rate for women in this country (which is 3 x higher for Black women!). Republicans in Congress, how do you justify this?!?! #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters
A5: Medicaid funds almost half of all births in the US. In FL where the overall maternal mortality rate is a high 28.7 per 100k births, that number is 75.1 for Black women. Cuts to Medicaid will make it harder for moms everywhere to have healthy pregnancies. #WellnessWed

We should be doing WHATEVER WE CAN to support birthing parents, and particularly birthing parents from marginalized communities. Cuts to these programs are unconscionable. #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters
A6: Racism is a leading cause for pregnancy related mortality among Black and American Indian or Alaska Native (AIAN) parents. Increased access to care, like in the 49 states that have expanded postpartum Medicaid coverage, helps protect birthing parents when they are most at risk. #WellnessWed
Q6: What role does Medicaid play in addressing health disparities, particularly in states with diverse racial and ethnic communities, and how could cuts worsen inequities? #WellnessWed #MedicaidMatters
