Trump cut nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for giant corporations.

Now they're telling cancer patients and people with HIV that they need to work harder to keep their health insurance.

Unconscionable.

@EliMcCann I mean, maybe, if your home backs on a golf course or something? And their windows are bulletproof? 🤔 Hard not to come back w/a story of how long you've lived there & your windows have been fine, but, that could've given him ammunition for another pitch :/ so quit while ahead!

@DopaminePlsMe Remember those little robot cars & toys that would bump into walls & turn around? I'm like that when I need to focus on leaving. Mind wanders, BUMP!, turn around back to task of leaving. Over & over again. So annoying! But I gotta do it, & I can manage it so far, YMMV.

@DopaminePlsMe This is why I have to have alarms set at 15 mins & 5 mins before I need to go. They put me in alert/urgent mode. Must stay focused on things I need to do to get out the door, thassit. If I actually leave a little early, too bad, gotta go w/it.

With all we know about ICE's abuse in places like Delaney Hall and the affordability crisis hurting American families, Trump and Republicans are ramming through billions in new ICE funding. It's either money for you or money for ICE's lawlessness. That's our choice in November.

why would trump's immigration policies contribute to the insolvency of social security? i was told that undocumented immigrants don't pay taxes

In a field near Wicken, Cambridgeshire larkspur is grown for London florists along with cornflowers & Nigella. It’s quite a sight just now-some floral dopamine for you 🌿:

"'That is simply unworkable and will predictably result in disenrollment of people who Congress intended to keep their Medicaid coverage.'"

"Jennifer Mathis, deputy director at the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, said that the rule as written appears to ignore Congress’ intent in creating… categories that qualify as 'medically frail.'" ➡️

"'CMS seems to be prohibiting states from exempting people based on falling into 1 of those categories & instead requiring…individualized analysis of whether each person’s condition substantially impairs them from meeting the community engagement requirement,' she said." ➡️
