61 years ago, President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law.
Now, Republicans are trying to dismantle both programs.
Democrats must respond by fighting for Medicare for All.
🧵
We are in the middle of a measles outbreak. A cyclospora outbreak. RFK is dismantling our public health system & scientific research. Millions have lost their health care. And Senate Republicans spent today attacking Dr. Fauci.
In a new interview with Semafor, Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) was asked whether she plans to support Abdul El-Sayed if he wins the Michigan Democratic Senate primary.
Her response: "I will not stand beside someone who has allowed distinctly anti-American sentiment to enter our public dialogue."
More details of the interview will be published on Semafor's website this Thursday.
"Haley Stevens is a Michigander" says the @WSJ while describing @AbdulElSayed as a "fringy" "radical" "Muslim man". Reminder: he's actually born, raised, and educated in Michigan, while the Murdoch media empire consists of a bunch of Islamophobes.

The Michigan Primary is next week.
I am supporting Dr Abdul El Sayed because I want to send an epidemiologist to the Senate.
I want an epidemiologist voting on legislation about our healthcare.
I do not want someone who has taken $46 million in corporate PAC money making decisions about my healthcare.
Dr Abdul El Sayed is Muslim. If his identity as a Muslim is more important than America getting healthcare reform, then vote for Stevens.
He has called what’s happening in Gaza a genocide. If Israel is more important to you than America’s healthcare, then vote for Stevens.
To those excoriating Dr. Fauci for invoking his fifth amendment rights, please post your tweets criticizing Donald Trump for doing it over 400 times during his civil depositions in 2022.
Or every Republican when they were questioned about their involvement in J6.
I’ll wait.
Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard, who won an Academy Award for the 2007 film "Once," died in a motorcycle crash on the outskirts of Dublin early Wednesday, his management said. He was 56.

Democrats —for the love of GOD, if you don’t make a huge deal about this …this is a BFD political issue.
Trump is punishing our parents and grandparents while gets richer.
RIP Glen Hansard 🕊️

We're living through a time in which far too many sociopathic ghouls walk unashamedly among us, and yet, someone like Glen Hansard is taken away early.
What a deeply unfair world.
Bruce Springsteen pays tribute to Glen Hansard:
“Here on E Street, we are heartbroken over the death of Glen Hansard. We met in Ireland many years ago and he was always nothing but a great musician, a good friend and a generous and gracious man. Always positive, smiling and ready to sing. God bless him and his loved ones.”

The cruelty never ends.
In 2027, just after midterms, Trump plans to eliminate a program that gives insurance companies an estimated $3.6 billion in subsidies a year to blunt increases in premiums for the Medicare prescription plans, known as Part D. The program will end after 2026, according to regime officials.
He spends that much on his stupid Qatari rigged plane and his ballroom. Grr....
I gifted this so you can read it.

Two country music legends, Willie Nelson and Tanya Tucker, are speaking out about different pieces of the same enormous industrial buildout in Texas.
Willie Nelson is speaking out against rural data centers and Tanya Tucker is speaking out against the massive transmission lines crossing private land to accommodate the state’s surging electricity demand.
