Making it harder for sick people to receive health care saves money... by keeping people sick. If they can't afford to go to the doctor, we don't have to pay for it. That's R's logic. Reality check: Cutting coverage doesn't cut sickness.
R's: We're going to cut Medicaid D's: People will lose their health insurance. R's: Liars! CBO: Actually, yeah, people will. A lot of people, in fact. Millions.
GOP Plans To Cut Medicaid Would Kick Millions Off Health Insurance, New Analysis Says

An authoritative analysis by Congressional Budget Office is House Speaker Mike Johnson's latest headache.

One of the 100K+ people who lost their health insurance when Missouri slashed Medicaid in 2005 was a woman working a $6.70/hour McDonald’s job. Her ~$300/week pay put her over the stricter income limits despite supporting 3 kids. Now, congressional GOP are considering cuts that could be bigger...
If Congress cuts $880 billion from Medicaid, Missouri could face a yearly shortfall of $2 billion. An early 2000s budget gap of about $2.4 billion prompted the state to drop 100,000 people from Medicaid. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
I’m prepared to fight with every tool at my disposal to stop this effort and to protect the Boundary Waters for future generations.
By including this language in their big budget bill, they have made it clear they don’t care about the science or the data, which shows unequivocally that this type of mining poses an unacceptable risk.
Republicans in Congress are trying to give a foreign conglomerate full permission to build a copper-nickel sulfide mine right on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters watershed and irreversibly pollute this pristine wilderness.
NEW LEGISLATION RISKS IRREVERSIBLE POLLUTION OF THE BOUNDARY WATERS 


House Republican legislation includes language to sell out the Boundary Waters to a foreign mining conglomerate
Energy Star has saved *half a trillion dollars* since it started, so this is only going to make you pay more for energy – and they know that. They know this will raise your costs, but it helps their buddies in the oil and gas industry, who donate big money to their campaigns.

"I've been working on Social Security for 50 years. It's gone through wars and pandemics. It has never seen a threat like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Frank Bisignano, the nominee to be commissioner. There's never been a more important time to speak up." - Nancy Altman
Republicans want to cut disability programs to give billionaires more tax breaks. Not on our watch. Disability rights are human rights. Period.
BREAKING: Republicans just installed a self-proclaimed ‘DOGE person’ to be in charge of your Social Security. Friendly reminder that Elon Musk, head of DOGE, said Social Security is a Ponzi scheme that should be eliminated.   Every Dem voted no.

President Trump’s tariff taxes are raising prices and hurting small businesses.   We joined Beth Benike, owner of Busy Baby and MN Small Business Person of the Year, and small business owners from across the country to call for these reckless tariffs to be reversed.
Today is Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Awareness Day, a time for us to pay tribute and demand justice. It should serve as a call to action for all of us to address the epidemic of violence against Native communities, especially women.
Trump’s budget proposal cuts funding for police and fire departments, child care centers and social services for rural communities. He’s cutting basic needs just so he can give tax breaks and special treatment to his rich buddies. It’s a no from me.
