SHUTTING DOWN RURAL HOSPITALS—that's the Republican agenda.
If their Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill passes, rural hospitals across America will be forced to shutter. This will hit Central & Eastern Washington the hardest.
We can kill this bill, but NOW is the time to speak up.

The Republican tax bill won’t just kick millions off their health care, it will SPIKE premiums and RAISE costs for EVERYONE.
The cuts to Medicaid, attacks on the ACA, and surge in uninsured Americans will even force hospitals to close their doors.
Congress needs to REJECT these cuts.

You mean to say, why do I live in a purple state where the right wing has methodically over decades leveraged systemic inequality into power? I suppose for the same reason I live in a purple country where the right wing has methodically over decades leveraged systemic inequality into power.
Why do you live in a right wing state? Do you ever feel like you're enabling them in any way by staying? Not judging, we all live in places we don't necessarily love. Just curious.

Elon Musk doesn't care about efficiency, and here's the proof:
I called for an investigation into Musk's cuts at the IRS. Because he fired so many staff that audit wealthy tax cheats, we could lose $323 BILLION in tax revenue over the next decade.
Nothing efficient about that.

Here's what I told Secretary of State Marco Rubio today:
What he's done is outright illegal.
His decimation of USAID and so much else has led to senseless death and suffering, and it's left the United States weaker.
We should tear up Trump's budget and write a new one.
