Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.
So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

I’m in Oversight Committee right now. Ranking Member Connolly just called for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Republicans out-number us on this committee, but many aren’t in the room. We’ll see who wins this vote. We deserve transparency and answers.

Had a convo recently where the other person--an educated liberal!--was shocked to learn <2% of Americans are trans, puberty blockers are temporary & reversible, and virtually no minors get gender-affirming surgeries. The right is so, so good at inflating things into boogeymen.
One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.
The actual number is less than 1%.
Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.
