Trump promised not to “touch” Medicaid.
Now he is cutting it by $1 trillion and taking health care away from patients with cancer, AIDS and other life-threatening diseases to pay for tax breaks to the top 1% and his wealthy campaign contributors.
Unimaginable cruelty.
Congress, the ball is in your court. Pass a bill with a veto-proof majority to ban our taxpayer dollars from being spent on bogus “weaponization” claims. You control the power of the purse.

The stories and photographs from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely and help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. https://t.co/TIVqbA9k9O
Donald Trump thinks the U.S. Treasury is his personal piggy bank.
Let's be clear: the President is trying to steal $10 BILLION of taxpayer money - before a court rules.
This is a massive, unprecedented scandal.
Congress must stop him. I have a bill for that.
We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better.

BREAKING: WSJ reports Russia is giving intelligence to Iran to hit U.S. forces.
Meanwhile, Trump has lifted sanctions on Russia, allowing them to sell more oil.
So…we are basically paying Putin to kill our troops. Let THAT sink in.
Right now, Iowa is spending $300 million on an unaccountable voucher program while constitutionally underfunding public education. That’s not an accident — it’s a choice.
@GrassleyWorks Turnout increased in 2020 because the secretary of state mailed every Iowa voter an absentee ballot request form.
Which Iowa Republicans quickly made illegal.
This is Queen Ingrid’s Hospital in Nuuk Greenland. It is well designed, Modern and most importantly it’s 100% free.
I went there after slipping on Ice to get ibuprofen. The nice nurse there told me unlike the USA EVERYTHING IS FREE TO RESIDENTS.
EVERY.
THING.
All visits. All procedures. All medications. All follow ups. Anything that required advanced surgical or specialized treatment was flown, free of cost, to Copenhagen in Denmark. Where all expenses are paid.
Greenland is awesome.
“America cannot survive as a free society if ICE and CBP continue to operate as they have over the last year — let alone as both agencies are turbocharged and empowered with even more funding, more officers, more guns, and more arrests." Garrett Graff

Instead of nickel-and-diming already underpaid educators, why don't we cut the school voucher scam that gives millions in taxpayer funds to Iowa's wealthiest families?
House Republicans just passed a budget resolution that directs $230 billion in cuts to SNAP. All four of Iowa's US Representatives voted yes.
SNAP enrollment is near a 17-year low in Iowa (lowest since May '08), while food banks and pantries break records every month.
Iowa's senior senator continues to post about this or that bill as Musk operatives are shutting down programs authorized by Congress, and seizing control of government agencies including payment systems with tons of sensitive data.
