These proposed cuts would be devastating to community health centers. We deliver quality care at a lower price than most other primary care providers. Cutting people off from insurance won’t lower healthcare costs in this country. The uninsured will end up in ERs and drive up health care costs.
Many community health centers, which also serve uninsured people, are expected to close if Medicaid funds gets brutally cut by Congress. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
No one voted to defund 1,000 community health centers

"It’s easy to miss the human side of policy, legal compliance, the nitty gritty of efficient government. To get caught up in slogans about fraud or waste. That’s what Musk and Trump are counting on. And yet I see and hear the human side every time my son says “My dad’s name is David.” On @msnbc.com

Turns out government turmoil doesn’t breed consumer confidence.
Between the general economic uncertainty & personal decision to cut ties with Amazon & Target, our household spending has shifted dramatically.
We’re in MN, Target is a lifestyle in a way it’s just not anywhere else in the country.

One of my acts of resistance was to invest in (used) copies of banned books.
This is the start of the collection (I’ve got ~75 total on the way) - plus a copy of The Constitution of the United States (the brown leather book on the right), which I am sure will be banned soon.

Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.

Very proud to announce the Department of Health will now process all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within three business days. Previously, there was as much as a 10 month wait.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Brian Schatz (HI) is objecting to all unanimous consent until DT brings USAID back. He told the Wall Street Journal (because, they seem to be becoming the best source of information somehow.)
“I will oppose unanimous consent, I will vote no. I will do maximal delays until this is resolved.”
