Bottom line: Abortion bans are cruel. And women in this country are being harmed by them every day.   Denying women life-saving care shouldn't happen - and yes, abortions can be life-saving care.

NEW: Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Republicans are trying to pass a measure in the dark of night to screw over working people so they can send a bunch of tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations. We won’t let them do it without a fight.

Trump and Musk have fired Minnesotans like: -- Park Rangers at Voyageurs -- Fire protection engineers -- Workers who care for our veterans -- Workers who care for folks with disabilities -- Workers who dole out small business loans How does this help anyone?

A Minnesotan who worked for the federal government was fired, rehired and then fired again within a span of two weeks.

Just because DOGE doesn’t agree with a policy doesn’t make it fraud or waste. What they’re really talking about is cutting your benefits.

He said he wasn't going to meddle with American's health care and now he's (unsurprisingly) going back on his word. Making it harder to see your doctor and pay your medical bills so he can give a massive tax break to billionaires and corporations. That’s what this is about.
Post from Adam Cancryn on Twitter saying the White House opens the door to changes to Medicare and Medicaid as long as the policies are deemed to address “waste, fraud, and abuse.”

I stand with National Parks Service staff like Kate, a Minnesotan who was fired by Trump and Musk from her job as Park Ranger at Voyageurs National Park.
Kate Severson, a federal park ranger at Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota. Severson was one of the thousands of newly-hired federal workers to be abruptly fired Friday, February 14, 2025, as part of the Trump administrations push to downsize the federal government.

Can’t post my Instagram videos on Bluesky because of their 60s time limit, but I thought I’d just share this short outtake. I love my job, and these hard fights are worth having… but man are they hard.

Minnesota student just told me that her dad, who has worked for a Minnesota VA hospital for nearly a decade, recently got a new job within the agency. They listed him as “probationary” and he was just fired by Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

People don’t give a shit if it's one or two bills. They care that Republicans are hellbent on cutting the *$6 per day* families get in nutrition assistance and the Medicaid benefits millions of working families rely on to see a doctor. And for what? To pay for more tax cuts for giant corporations.
Trump endorses House budget plan amid competing proposals in Congress
President Trump endorsed the House Republicans' budget proposal to begin enacting his agenda as the Senate pursues a competing plan.

We're going to fight this. Even if we can’t stop it, we sure can make it painful by making sure everyone knows this is a giant grift.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govFeb 19(source)
The American people don't care if it's one bill or two. They care that both versions have the same goal: Cutting their benefits while billionaire corporations make a(nother) fortune from their tax cuts.

I just voted NO to advance Senate Republican's pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. They want to let Elon cut $1 trillion this year alone—those cuts are coming out of SNAP, Medicaid, VA benefits, & more. Money out of YOUR pocket so BILLIONAIRES get more tax breaks.

Republicans are racing forward with a budget that will raise costs for working families. People will pay more for food, health care, education, and child care – while Republicans plot more tax cuts for billionaires.

Just got this email from a Minnesota producer. These freezes hurt real people, including our farmers. Republicans need to stand up to Musk, but they won't - they want to see all this money vacuumed up so they can give it to big corporations in the form of tax breaks.
Screenshot of an email that reads: This suspension will drastically hurt our farming operation making it harder for us to provide food to the community or have to shut down. Trump promised farmers would NOT be hurt. I voted Trump but now is executive order reviewing funding is HURTING us farmers. When will this USDA farm funding be unfrozen? Please help us farmers get these programs unfrozen. Farmers help put food on table for you and for all!!

This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in. Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.
