Rep. Jim McGovern: "Last night every single Republican voted NO to protect Medicaid & to ensure kids are fed. Every. Single. One."
NEVER FORGET! Hunger is STILL a dangerous issue in America. The GOP want to control a woman's UTERUS, but could care less about the child once it's born. So DISGUSTING!

House Republicans just passed this budget resolution by the thinnest of margins after first cancelling the vote, but every Democrat voted against it and the lines here are clear.
We will fight their cuts to Medicaid and tax cuts for the rich tooth and nail.

The GOP budget resolution will be disastrous for the American economy.
It will strip health care from millions, and make it harder for families to put food on the table.
All for billionaires and corporations to get tax cuts they do not need, that our country cannot afford.

Look at this leader. Lift her up.
Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

Nearly 50% of children in Texas 30 alone will be affected by the Republican Medicaid and CHIP Cuts! Medicaid and The Children's Health Insurance Plan is an important role in my district, over half of my constituents will be affected by this cut!

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.
