They took away Medicaid from my 82 year old mom. They don't answer the phone and when she showed up in person, they refused to talk to her and told her to go home and call them. She got her low income senior housing because she qualified for Medicaid.

“When food prices go up because farm workers go missing, that’s the ICE Tax. When construction grinds to a halt because no one is left to build homes, that’s the ICE Tax. When our elders can’t get the care they deserve because their caretakers and nurses are gone, that’s the ICE Tax.” #EndtheICETax

Sounds about Right…. The reason presidents are limited to two terms is that the last time we had a president who was a Democratic Socialist, the people elected him four straight times!!!

SEN. WARREN: "They cut taxes and they always say ‘it's really going to pay off for you’ — every time academics come back say ‘What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.’.. this is the 20.0 version of this.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

An unelected political appointee is disobeying the will of Congress & the rule of law by withholding funds for programs approved with bipartisan support. Blatantly unconstitutional. Flagrantly anti-science. The latest example of authoritarianism from the Trump admin.

The rich would prefer you to believe that the "free market" is subject to the immutable law of supply and demand. But for years, the wealthy and powerful have manipulated the market for their own gain. There is nothing “free” about it. Watch.

Some states, including Massachusetts, deliver meals to Medicaid patients that address their dietary needs. Evidence shows it aids recovery and saves healthcare costs, but federal budget cuts may lead some states to cancel it.

Meal deliveries can save money and improve health. Will they survive Medicaid cuts?

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
