I just got off the Senate floor where I joined Senator Booker who has been speaking since last night. His words remind us: this is not a left or right moment—it’s a right or wrong moment. We must stand up and fight back.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.

The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.

Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality, Republicans in Congress just introduced a budget to provide trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy, paid for by massive cuts to Medicaid that will throw millions of kids off health care & seniors out of nursing homes.

Unacceptable.

Having a heart for humanity, Mother Earth and all her inhabitants, is truly exhausting in today’s political climate. To see many people so disconnected from each other and our obligation (privilege) to care for one another is physically and emotionally difficult. So thankful for this new community.🦋

In one of Elon’s outcries about fraud, he actually ended up cutting funding for cancer research. Despite initially denying it, he was later proven wrong. This incident highlights how little he actually understands about what he’s doing.

Trump is attempting to cut funding for research to fight cancer, Alzheimer’s, and infectious diseases.

As the home of the Mayo Clinic, we know that medical research saves lives.

Minnesota Republicans should stand up for the health and wellbeing of our state.

Republicans want to slash Medicaid — a death sentence for thousands of Americans. Medicaid provides health care to more than 37 million kids, funding for 2/3 of seniors in nursing homes & is 40% of the revenue for community health centers. 

We must EXPAND Medicaid, not cut it.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”
