Trump spent every day for 4 years saying that Biden was about to start World War 3 and if he got elected he would end the war in Ukraine and we would have peace with Russia because he has a great relationship with Putin. Here is today’s update on all that.

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

More than one million people living with HIV in the U.S. rely on services that can only be provided by a fully funded HIV response. Once again, the pro-life party showing they care. #ActUpForHealthCare
The U.S. response to HIV has long been a collaborative effort-uniting researchers, health care professionals, advocates, community organizations, government partners, Republicans and Democrats. All are essential to achieving our shared goal: to end the HIV epidemic. Weakening or eliminating one part of this partnership endangers the entire effort.
amfAR and other analyses show the potential consequences of these cuts:
Up to 75,000 additional HIV infections and 7,500 AIDS-related deaths by 2030
if CDC's Division of HIV Prevention is cut by 50%
As many as 143,000 new infections and 15,000 deaths with a full elimination of that division
Added treatment costs of $31.6 billion with a 50% cut, or $60.3 billion with a full cut
A loss of $2.46 in economic return from every $1 removed from NIH research funding

Medicaid covers 40% of all births in this country and 40% of health care for all kids. It provides postpartum care in nearly every state and makes reproductive care accessible to more than 16 million women. Remember this every time you hear a Republican pretend to care about family values.
