Medical debt doesn’t tell you if someone is financially irresponsible. It tells you they got sick. Trump’s decision to re-add it to credit reports will punish millions of Americans for having cancer, caring for a sick kid, or going to the ER.

I want MAGA to watch this and tell this 18 year Veteran that he doesn’t deserve to serve. I dare you, you cowards who support a draft dodger… A transgender military member breaks down over losing the retirement he earned through years of service

Meet Mary Beth. She adopted her four grandkids, ages 10, 12, 15 & 16, because their parents suffer from addiction. Mary Beth relies on SNAP to put food on the table and Medicaid so they can see doctors and dentists. The House Republican Budget cuts both. Share her story.

"Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania aren’t the same as Puerto Ricans in Florida. Mexican Americans and Tejanos aren’t the same as folks in California. Even though we’re seeing different, similar shifts, the degrees are different. Our coverage has to be different.”

33,500+ Hispanic/Latino voters that have voted early in #Georgia did not vote in 2020. That is 36%+ of the total Hispanic voters. The largest % across race and ethnicity. #EstamosAqui #VotamosAqui #GALatinoVote
