Higher infant mortality. Higher maternal mortality -- especially for Black women. More deaths from preventable diseases. Shorter life expectancy. That's what our healthcare system delivers for a price tag that is higher than in other countries. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown #momsky

Another day of #TrumpsHealthcareShutdown. Republicans still aren't showing up for work. Everyday families still don't have access to affordable health care. Rich people still enjoying their massive tax breaks. #momsky

We are where we are because America couldn't face the idea of a female president. Twice. Folx looked past p***y grabbing, fraud, mocking people with disabilities, an attempted insurrection (and more) to avoid voting for a woman. "I'd rather burn it down," they said.

The Republicans have indefensible positions on most things, including healthcare. So they lie. Repeatedly and incessantly. #momsky

Here in Dane County, a 62-year-old couple looking forward to retirement will see their costs soar. This doesn't make America great. It makes families who are struggling to make ends meet even more strapped for cash. All so Republicans can give the richest among us tax breaks that they don't need.

Admittedly, I thought this was an account like the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social. Sadly, this is an actual NPR headline.

Not only do other countries make universale health care work, they do it with lower costs and with better health outcomes. Lower maternal mortality. Lower infant mortality. Fewer preventable deaths. Longer life expectancy. www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...

Reagan stopped enforcing regulations 4 decades ago which allowed suppliers to give big grocery chains better prices. This drove out small, local grocers and created areas where families didn't have access to grocery stores. State & local leaders can act to bring back more grocery stores. #momsky

@pn3policy.bsky.social launched their 2025 Policy Impact Calculator to compare state policies' impact on families. Families living in states with a higher minimum wage, state-level paid family leave, and generous state tax credits have the most resources. pn3policy.org/policy-impac... #momsky

At any point in time, a group of Republicans in Congress can end the madness. No more tariffs, no more humiliating nonsensical speeches, no more unhinged social media posts, no more illegality, no more trashing of the Constitution. No more. #momsky

WWJD, amirite?

You know what the difference is between wind and coal? The wind is infinite. Coal is not.

Republicans are against a federal policy guaranteeing paid time off from work when sick or a family member needs care. Now they can't even bother to show up for work when our access to doctors is on the line. And they will still get paid during #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown. #momsky

Just one more distraction from Trump's government shutdown.

Now, where did that statue go? #momsky www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/u...

Where's the bailout for the parents struggling to feed their kids due to the tariffs that pushed prices up? Oh, yeah, instead, Republicans cut food assistance. #momsky #trumpflation

The goal has always been to burn it all down to make the rich even richer. Who needs trees?

Important context: The Reagan administration created a Task Force on Food Assistance, which stated that the absence of data on hunger “contributes to a climate in which policy discussions become unhelpfully heated and unsubstantiated assertions are then substituted for hard information.” #momsky

I imagine this fraud rate is lower than all members of Trump's cabinet, too.

Pay attention, for the sake of your families! This isn’t spin or conjecture, this is real and means health costs will go up for all of us. #momsky

It bears repeating: Acetaminophen is safe during pregnancy. There is no link between acetaminophen and autism. Trump is spewing nonsense to distract from his shaky economy, scandals, and authoritarian power grab. Listen to @katiephang.bsky.social below. #momsky

Another day, another headline where morally bankrupt corporations fail to do the right thing at great cost to individuals.

Lol

One in 5 households are struggling to pay for basic expenses like food. Failing to measure hunger won't make it go away. Cutting food assistance will not decrease hunger. Tariffs will not decrease hunger. But Republicans never cared about families struggling to make ends meet, anyway. #momsky

Where we need talent, ability, drive, creativity, we find it in our diversity, in the best and brightest who rise up who have come to our shores, powering the vitality that has been the United States. What’s happening now is an attack on everything that has made us great. #MomSky

It bears repeating: The Republican party is not a "pro-life" party. #momsky

First, the Republicans cut funding for food assistance so that billionaires can become even richer. Then, the Republicans stop measuring how many families are struggling to afford food. Next, the Republicans deny any claims that families are struggling because...where's the data? #momsky

Trump promised to lower prices. Now, the federal agency charged with tracking prices and reporting data on inflation has postponed their annual data release. But mothers charged with buying supplies for their families know the truth. Prices are up, not down. #momsky www.axios.com/2025/09/19/b...

It's time for Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan to follow suit and form the Great Lakes Public Health Coalition. What say you @govevers.wisconsin.gov, @governorwalz.mn.gov, and @govwhitmer.bsky.social? #momsky

@aoc.bsky.social statement on the resolution is worth a read. "We can disagree with Charlie and come together as a country to denounce the horror of killing. That is a bedrock American value." But we don't have to honor his words, thoughts, and actions. ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-...

Wow. What a return on investment. $1.6 million donated and $660 million in restitution wiped clean. Doesn’t matter how egregious the fraud is. Just donate to Trump!

Women -- and moms especially -- make 80% of medical decisions for their family. Recent Republicans actions will make it that much harder to keep our families healthy, particularly for families w/ low incomes. Sign below to make sure every kid, every mom, and every family can afford care. #momsky

The data speak for itself. Vaccines are safe and effective. Just look at the graphs. graphics.wsj.com/infectious-d...

Wisconsin! We just endured two brutal state Supreme Court races. Do you have time or resources to pitch in for Pennsylvania? Write postcards, phone bank, or donate. There is a lot on the line. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/u...

Without action in Congress, the enhanced subsidies that make health insurance more affordable for low- and middle-income families will expire. Some families who buy insurance on the ACA marketplace will see a 75% increase in costs. A pro-family agenda would make these subsidies permanent. #momsky

Thoughts and prayers.

Weekend at Bernie's, because what else could possibly be next.

Republicans show us daily that they are not a "pro-life" party. They do not care about children.

No one is coming to save us. We are the heroes in this story. Take action.

Women are far less likely to ever consider running for office. And they are far less likely to be encouraged by friends/family. Now is the time to run for office if you want access to child care, paid sick days, paid family leave, strong public schools, and access to health care. Run for office.

It would be really refreshing if sexual harassment and rape were disqualifying for voters when they show up at the ballot box. #rapeculture

America's abiding love for misogyny and racism has led us here. "Her emails..." "She's a hawk..." "Too emotional..." "Her voice..." "That laugh..." "DEI hire..." "She slept her way there..."

Facts

I've been volunteering on a pro-democracy side project. Consider supporting our work in a deeply purple state. As they say, as goes Wisconsin...

It's true, none of us make it out of here alive. However, there are huge disparities in life expectancy in the US based on income. The richest 1% of men live 14 years longer than the poorest 1%. 10 years for women. What Joni is really saying is that an early death for folx w/ low incomes is fine.

Ladies and gentleman, meet the the Republican "pro-life" party.
