The House budget cuts $1T+ from Medicaid & SNAP while funding immigrant detention. It denies Medicare to lawful immigrants & strips the Child Tax Credit from 4.5M citizen kids. This is cruel & unjust. Tell the Senate: reject this bill now.

The Invisible Workforce:
How Medicaid Work Requirements
Overlook the Labor of Family Caregiving

May 19, 2025 at 6:07 PM
Medicaid work requirements are a direct attack on family caregivers. In attempting to define “real” work, these policies neglect the demanding and critical act of providing care. Millions provide unpaid family care — and bureaucrats tell them their labor is worthless. This is wrong & cruel.

🚨 The Dept. of Ed is under threat 🚨

For students with disabilities, it:
✔️ Holds schools accountable
✔️ Funds special ed teachers
✔️ Helps parents navigate the system

Shutting it down would hurt millions.
Tell Congress, TODAY: Protect the Dept. of Ed! bit.ly/3FAbGqE

Medicaid Cuts Make No Sense. The numbers don’t lie: cutting Medicaid costs more in the long run. Why would Congress push a plan that hurts people AND wastes money?

Super Bowl: time for questionable calls, hyped commercials, & debates about what’s “fair.”
And when people with disabilities are left out of policies, & neglected in accessibility plans, it's pretty much the definition of "unfair".
Now pass the snacks.

Cutting $2.3 trillion from Medicaid means abandoning seniors in long-term care & bankrupting families – putting essential treatments and care out of reach for millions of Americans. Our families can't afford this.
