RFK Jr. and Oz attacked California for its Medicaid home care, citing growth as proof of fraud. For @motherjones.com, I reported on how the growth isn't proof of fraud, and growth of participants is proof the program is more accessible than in other states. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

California does Medicaid home care well. They're being punished for it.
Republicans are deferring $850 million from the state because of unfounded fraud claims.

Americans are having to adapt to the biggest price jump on groceries in 50 years thanks to Donald Trump. And instead of helping you, he’s adding more tariffs, more gas price hikes, and more chaos at home.

Americans rewire their grocery shopping routines while digesting the biggest price jump in 50 years
Living through the biggest jump in grocery prices in a half-century has many Americans changing their eating and food shopping habits.

We must stop treating people like commodities. We must stop acting like their value is tied up in what they can produce or their physical ability. We all have value. We all have worth. We all have things that light us up.

A shipping crisis in the Strait of Hormuz is not just an oil story. It could become a prescription access story too. Generic drugs make up over 90% of U.S. prescriptions, & recent reporting warns prolonged disruption could raise costs & trigger delays. #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

The Georgia Supreme Court has repeatedly intervened to keep the state’s extreme abortion ban in effect. Electing Miracle Rankin & Jen Jordan to these seats is a way to fight back against the anti-abortion extremists & ensure Georgians can access the care they need. GA, vote on May 19!

Illness is not a moral failure. Medical debt is not a sign of poor character. But choosing war over healthcare — cutting Medicaid while Americans go broke getting sick? That IS a failure. A moral one. #HealthcareNotTrumpsWara

Virginia Redistricting Amendment
Do nothing, a minority of voters could elect the majority of the US House.
The Virgina Redistricting Amendment gives voters - not politicians- the final say to level the playing field.
No map takes effect without voter approval.
Virginians can see the maps before voting.
This is a temporary, emergency step - not a permanent change. It will automatically sunset after the 2030 census.

Of course they have. To save money. To appease staff who “don’t want to mask”. To downplay the pandemic. It’s cost countless lives. Never forget that hospital acquired Covid has a near 10% mortality rate. Patients shouldn’t have to choose between care and Covid.
