           Americans support Medicaid. Where MAGA tries to cut it, Democrats should make it a quality, affordable option for long-term care for the middle class.

             The modern appropriations process has been in effect since the 1970s. Since then, Congress has passed all appropriations on time in only four fiscal years. And never this century.

             The CDC’s endorsement of separating the MMR vaccine into three shots is based not on science but on “what I feel”, according to the president. It will require more doctor visits and more needles, reducing uptake and increasing measles rates. Every GOP Senator who voted to confirm 
           CDC has endorsed RFK Jr.'s vaccine panel recommendations. The Trump administration’s move formalizes advice to soften or eliminate previous Covid and MMRV shot guidance.  https://t.co/uLycO693qG

             No matter how hard the Speaker tries to change the subject, Medicaid is about health care, not about immigration. Americans see through the talking points and understand that their health-care bills will go up so that taxes for the rich can go down.

             The President’s 20-point peace plan is more of a concept than a plan. Particularly challenging is #16, which, while rightly acknowledging that Israel cannot occupy or annex Gaza, relies on vague “standards, milestones, and timeframes” set by Netanyahu to determine when Israel
