🚨 NEW POLL: An overwhelming majority of Americans say courts should NOT overrule doctors or the FDA on access to approved medications.
This comes as the Supreme Court ruled today to provisionally block a lower court decision restricting mifepristone nationwide. ⤵️
Graham Platner: “The anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to make sure we have this discussion and we don’t talk about raising his taxes. That’s why it exists. I think there are like two trans kids that compete in high school sports in Maine? There are 40K Mainers who are going to lose healthcare because of the lack of the ACA extension. One of those things seems very important and real to me. One of them seems like an invented culture war scare to keep people divided”
Going after a strong progressive Latino leader the same day that you vote for a slush fund for Republicans involved in January 6 does not scream democratic values.
@RepChuyGarcia has been an unwavering fighter for our democracy and our communities. It is disappointing that someone willing to compromise working families’ healthcare would use this moment for a cheap political stunt aimed at distracting people from an indefensible vote on tonight's CR.

Brand new data:
Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).

Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.
It’s actually really serious that every mainstream Republican believes that any American who peacefully protests against Trump “hates America”.
Like it’s not just a weird thing they say. It shows how they’ve given up on democracy. And it should freak you out.
If you believe all of these people are paid protesters, then you probably believe that Trump is covering up the release of the Epstein files because he’s not in them.
As the ED of @ctphealthcare, I’m proud to be working with AMP and @ChrisMurphyCT.
As an EP for half of my life, I’m proud to be standing with thousands of my fellow physicians around the country to defend #Medicaid and the patients and communities who depend upon it.
The press reported today that the votes are falling apart for Trump's budget (the one with the big Medicaid cuts).
It's the impact of organizing. It's why I set up American Mobilization Project.
1/ Here's a quick summary of what AMP has been up to in its first month.
Prescription drug costs are skyrocketing — not because of supply shortages, but because big pharmaceutical executives want a bigger profit margin.
That's why we've introduced legislation to prevent folks from price gouging live-saving medications. Learn more from @FOX2News 👇
