Yes MAGA cares sooo much about Vets and children with their crocodile tears that the cut 1 trillion from Medicaid .

If you’re wondering, this is exactly how we federal workers feel We’ve been fighting for this country since Jan 20th. Leadership needs to fight too "We went into this shutdown knowing we would suffer but it would be worth it for the country. This deal is a slap in the face to every federal worker"

TRUMP and MAGA blithely would let children and seniors go hungry, our air flights become more dangerous and folks going into debt , or die over healthcare needs. We need to keep reminding everyone- they found money to keep border patrol terrorizing our neighbors, have Gatsby parties and buy jets.

Privatizing the VA is NOT an answer to healthcare needs- we all who use the private system know its problems. Let us not support another way big money can be ripped out of the healthcare system.

We need to keep talking about corruption- crony capitalism , winners picked by the "king". www.citizen.org/article/banq...

This isn’t just about the eight Senate Democrats who surrendered. 👇

We need to keep repeating the fake trickle down economy is subsidizing the ultrawealthy - TAX them fairly; make sure everyone gets paid a living wage and then the US will have enough to truly democratize healthcare !

When MAGA talks about the ACA supplementals supporting big health insurance companies, we need to remind them and ourselves, the alternative to private insurance companies is government payment spreading the risk of costly health expenditures amongst all of us. We would be all in on M4A !

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights. Instead of grounding 10% of commercial flights at 40 major U.S. airports, why doesn't the DOT ground 100% of private flights instead? Raised [email protected]

We need to help our Senators keep their resolve ! @durbin.senate.gov @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social

The Trump regime is now telling states to unsend SNAP benefits. They want to do everything they can to make life harder for people. It’s said often, but always worth repeating: the cruelty is the point.

This is incredible waste and abuse when the funding is so badly needed for healthcare ! The OBBBA mandated frequent checking of work requirements for Medicaid helps a business . www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/h...

Ask any MAGA . Two federal judges on Friday ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funds to pay food stamp benefits to tens of millions of Americans in November. The administration has announced it will pay some of those benefits. Why wasn’t the Trump administration doing that anyway?

We know what MAGA is up to. We are counting on our electeds to STOP them. Call your Senator today to give support in them holding on to working FOR US. @physiciandemocracy.medsky.social @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Really this is a no brainer, except for those MAGA who are sitting on their brains. Our job is to help Dems stay strong. The stakes are too high.

Families across the country are seeing their healthcare premiums spike. Join @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social on Monday to discuss the impact of the Trump Shutdown, and what we can do to lower costs and protect healthcare: groundworkcollaborative.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Family plan Insurance premiums through employers averages $27,000 a year. How could anyone wonder why families feel they are getting squeezed. The increase is greater than wage growth and overall inflation. This is the product of our for profit system that pretends to be a health care system.

We know the $Trump swamp stinks, here are some particulars to share . perfectunion.us/trumps-corpo...

MAGA trying to discount the need for extending premium tax credits for ACA plan, state that low income folks can may still be eligible for a zero or near zero premium bronze plan next year. But, according to KFF it would come with a deductible more than $7,000 higher than what they pay currently.

Average life expectancy was similar in the U.S. and peer countries in 1980, but the gap has grown over time. It widened further during COVID-19 before rebounding in 2023 to a nearly four-year gap. Learn more: https://on.kff.org/42I5t4R

As the shutdown drags on, Trump and Republicans are spending money on everything except what helps struggling American families: $40 billion on a bailout of Argentina; $170 million on two private jets for Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem; $300 million to build a White House ballroom.

Hey Illinois and Maryland, it’s extra important for your local leaders to hear from you right now. Trump’s redistricting coup will only work if blue states sit back and do nothing. Tell your elected officials to level the playing field and unrig the midterm maps: indivisible.org/resource/red...

Secretary Noem might want to ask any of the 170+ U.S. citizens who ICE has detained.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

1/2 Louisiana’s worst whooping cough outbreak in decades: 387 cases, 2 infant deaths. After Surgeon General Ralph Abraham paused vaccine promotion, cases surged and the public was left in the dark. Antivaxx politics cost lives. Nice article from @rosemarywestwood.bsky.social

Call your Rep and Senator. We all need to afford healthcare. It should be our right ! As we live in the wealthiest country that ever was. ( We oppose the cuts to Medicaid and SNAP too done to give billionaires tax breaks.)

Poll showing that Americans are fed up with insurance companies racking in dough while they suffer debt. A majority think the answer is "over haul the healthcare system, provide govt. funded health care, wipe out medical debt. Cut employers and insurance co. out of it. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Trump eliminated Treasury Dept’s Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund. This froze 11 programs that deliver lifelines to small businesses and neighborhoods. Last year, nearly 110,000 businesses and over 45,000 affordable housing units were supported. scheerpost.com/2025/10/23/a...

ALL AMERICANS LAST? Hunger is a bigger problem in rural than urban counties. MAGA is all for providing moral support for rural Americans they just don’t want to actually help them. The MAGA Budget has cut $186 Billion from SNAP. Send the message to our reps. HOLD strong to get whatever we can in CR!

Americans Last ? The Department of Agriculture says it cannot spend $6 billion in reserves to address the $8 billion needed for SNAP in November, to feed 42 Americans who rely on the program. The administration easily found $20 billion to prop up right-wing Trump ally Javier Milie in Argentina.(HCR)

Since the introduction of the enhanced tax credits, enrollment in health exchange marketplaces went from 11 million to 24 million, the vast majority received an enhanced credit. KFF estimates that an individual making $28,000who now pays 1%-$325 of their income, will pay nearly 6%-$1,562 in 2026.

If Dems Won’t Tax Billionaires After This, What Are They Even Doing? newrepublic.com/article/2021... via @newrepublic.com

Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break. And Cut $187 from the the SNAP Food Program- taking food out of the mouths of babes ( and others). We should call Trump priorities what they are " Billionaires First', other Americans Last".

Trump’s USDA is pretending it can’t use emergency funds for food stamps. So Americans will go hungry 🚫 🍽️ while Democrats fight for healthcare 🏥 and Trumps tears down the White House 🧨 Yup, that tracks.
