This video is devastating. Imagine dropping your child off at daycare, only to learn that ICE took a beloved caregiver in front of the children minutes after. Imagine going to work to care for beloved children, only to be ripped away from them and your own family by ICE.

Cost of living issues were at the top of voter’s minds… you know what the top cost of living is??? CARE! This is a mandate for parties to center the care economy and investments in #ChildCare #PaidLeave and #Aging and #Disability care. #CareCantWait

My views on today’s BS “breakthrough” on #Autism Stop blaming moms, stop cutting REAL research and the programs that support autistic people.

The cost for EVERYTHING is going ⬆️ Plus Trump and Republicans also passed a bill that made supports go ⬇️ For the 130 million family caregivers in this country #Trumpflation will lead them to the brink

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Correct, cutting #Medicaid isn’t popular with the left OR the right. There’s no private solution, Medicaid is the only option for this mom and millions of others. #CancelTheCuts I’m a Proud Conservative. My Disabled Son Needs Medicaid to Live. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/o...

Hey reality show doctor—a) 92% of #Medicaid beneficiaries are working b) the “able-bodied’ argument is a distraction, they gutted the program for everyone c) since CMS has historically had terrible data collection I GUARANTEE they don’t have data on tv consumption 🙄 www.rawstory.com/dr-oz-267388...

There are many villains in Medicaid but none of them are the beneficiaries or the workers who support them… This article points out both #PrivateEquity and its move into the long-term care space AND the reality of how bad #ManagedCare is. PE and private insurance has no place in long-term care.

I lived in DC for a decade, moved out inauguration weekend knowing I couldn’t live through another Trump administration in district. Trump is the one who made DC unsafe, and his dictatorial actions, citing falsities about a city that I love—validated my choice, sending love to those still there ❤️

Republicans have tossed the rulebook out. Here in Illinois, we will do whatever it takes to preserve democracy.

“The promise of Medicaid is being shattered. But in the wake of this devastation, the dream of something better is coming into view. We have the chance to shape the future by building a system of care that leaves no one behind.” - @aijenpoo.bsky.social speaking the truth.

Let no member of the @GOP off the hook, they didn’t just cut #Medicaid they decimated it. Rep Lawler, you had the audacity to make promises in front of #Disabled people and their families that you wouldn’t harm them, and your vote did. We won’t forget, and won’t let you lie. Accountability is coming

Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirement—they removed the age requirement. Now, at any age—you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

Dems take a stand and leave their post, for you know…the future of Democracy. The GOP—they do it for pedophiles and billionaires (and those who are both).

🤑 HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of DOLLARS to be SPENT on a GAUDY BALLROOM at the White House… …BUT NO MONEY 💸 for CHILDREN DYING of CANCER. 🤯

It’s almost like #Medicaid is a popular program that people want to see expanded not decimated 🤔 #CancelTheCuts

The cuts to #Medicaid and #SNAP won’t just harm disabled people and seniors, it will kill them.

As I told @statnews.com I was a big NO so I could be at CJ’s birthday “who, at 36, is just one year older than the ADA. “I have spent the majority of my life fighting against the misinformation that is now seated in the HHS office. I couldn’t go in good conscience and sit in that room,” said Jorwic.

It’s going to be a minute before I can capture the emotions and impact of the last 4 days on the National Mall for the #ProtectMedicaidVigil & #FamiliesFirst rally. This clip from the Baltimore Urban Inspiration Choir, that I was lucky to see, sums it up—We can change the world 🩵

“Who’s got the power, we got the power!” #FamiliesFirst

Whether in the middle of the night or in broad daylight, we are again sharing Medicaid stories and bearing witness to what this lifesaving program means to millions across the country. Forever grateful for and inspired by @nicolejorwic.bsky.social and her fight to #ProtectMedicaid for all of us.

Sun rising over hour 57 of our SIXTY hour Protect Medicaid Vigil. It’s been an honor & privilege to pull this event together with our incredible team & partners. I am exhausted, emboldened and so damn proud of the power we are showing as we hold those who cut Medicaid accountable.

Massive Medicaid and even Medicare cuts are here, and they will have a devastating impact on our health system and for everyone. Learn more from @nicolejorwic.bsky.social @caringacross.org: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX32...

This moment from today’s Medicaid vigil is so powerful… Question: What do you say to the people who voted to cut Medicaid? Be honest. Samantha Phillis: They voted against my child’s life. #MedicaidCutsKill

Millions of people will lose access to life-saving care due to the Medicaid cuts. This is a humanitarian crisis in the making. Congress needs to act now and repeal the cuts to prevent this disaster. #MedicaidCutsKill

We know that #MedicaidCutsKill That’s why we are out here for the 60 Hour Medicaid vigil—share your story with me between now and Saturday morning and I will read it during my time slot 4-6 AM Friday or 5-6 AM Saturday! Share your Medicaid story with me!

On the radio show we dive into the Medicaid cuts in the Big Bad Betrayal Bill and their devastating impacts on health care access and community services w/ @‪caringacross.org. #MomSky momsrising.org/bt07jul25/?source=bsky

There is a 60 hour vigil happening now in Washington DC and you can watch it live here: protectmedicaidvigil.com Please share

The closure of rural hospitals and nursing homes due to Medicaid cuts will impact everyone, whether you have Medicaid or not. Learn more from @nicolejorwic.bsky.social @caringacross.org: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX32...

Personal stories have power! James tells us how Medicaid helps him live a full life and provides a night nurse so his parents “can sleep and not become horrible monsters every day.” Medicaid makes his world go around - so that is why we must #CancelCutsToMedicaid

The stage is being set! We are going to be here for 60 hours honoring the 60 years of Medicaid and demanding that Congress walk back the cuts made to the program. Join us online or at the National Mall as we come together to demand our leaders— #CancelCutsToMedicaid

If the health care cuts are not repealed before the election, Democrats will definitely take back control of Congress. #CancelCutsToMedicaid

On this week’s #MedicaidMinute my brother Chris says it best. “I am Medicaid, don’t extinguish me.” As we kick off our 60-hour vigil. Chris’s words are a reminder of why we’re fighting for the legacy–and the future–of Medicaid. #CancelCutsToMedicaid

The new Republican budget law brings drastic cuts to health care. Why did elected officials vote against their own constituents' needs? Watch my interview with @nicolejorwic.bsky.social @caringacross.org: youtube.com/live/aX32hj5...

How will the new Trump budget law affect nursing home & in-home care? On #CareTalk live @nicolejorwic.bsky.social @caringacross.org discusses w/ me @healthcarevoices.org @mswmedia.com & Diane Archer @socialsecurityworks.org#CareTalkanswers your health ins q’s.

“Just hanging out” or you know providing care to someone else, disabled or retired. These people are so out of touch!

Between Dr. Phil, Mehmet Oz and Jenny McCarthy being allowed to spout her bullshit about autism and vaccines, we really need to talk about the long-term ramifications of the Oprah Winfrey Show.

What in the fresh hell is this?!? New Trump admin policy— deport hardworking immigrants, gut Medicaid and… send disabled people to farms?!

Love you @mariatown.bsky.social (and @nicolejorwic.bsky.social).

This #MedicaidMinute takeover by @mariatown.bsky.social of @aapd-disability.bsky.social is more important now than ever after the vote to gut Medicaid by $930 billion. This #DisabilityPrideMonth let’s all commit to building the care economy all disabled people deserve.

As @nicolejorwic.bsky.social told me last year, "it requires that people file taxes to begin with" and a lot of people (particularly women) drop out of the workforce to care for a loved one. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Let’s realize that both parties, when in power, have approved original Medicare and MA plans that enrich insurance companies at the expense of patients. Both parties let the HC industry get so opague, no one has a clue how the much care truly costs. Including most hospitals.

I have to say—I am so freaking proud of every person I worked with, everyone who shared their story—who showed up for #Medicaid The disability community, the care community, aging groups & SO many allied orgs—we left it all on the field, and I’m so proud to be in this fight with you—We’ll be back

As I said— “While there is sure to be devastation and unfortunately, lives lost, and we need to be able to mourn for that—what the disability community has always shown is that we can come together and imagine something that other people can’t see as possible.” We can do both accountability & plan

Thank you to @mariatown.bsky.social of @aapd-disability.bsky.social , @nicolejorwic.bsky.social of @caringacross.org and @elenahung.bsky.social of @littlelobbyists.com for jumping on calls with me on this sad day.

"An absolute moral failure." Around one in three disabled people are on Medicaid. I spoke to disability advocates about how devastated they are that the House passed the budget bill that will slash close to a trillion from Medicaid at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
