Independent analysts project 17 million people will lose health coverage because of this bill. Patients across this country will suffer, but we will also organize and fight back. #CutMedicaidLoseYourJob

This is an extremely dark day in a dark chapter of American history. Come 2026 midterm elections, we will be holding accountable the members who knew healthcare cuts of this magnitude would be harmful to their constituents - but voted for them anyway. #CutMedicaidLoseYourJob

Republicans betrayed their constituents. Every voter, every patient will be exploited by this country's oligarchs with the permission and blind support of GOP so-called representatives.

Republicans in Congress just voted to take healthcare away from 17 million people, and to deprive millions of families of vital food assistance. Now they're celebrating a bill that will DEVASTATE us all. But we will remember their cruelty, next November.

Nearly 17 million stripped of health coverage. Home care cut. Rural hospitals shuttered. That's what the GOP is pushing through Congress right now. Call and demand they #VoteNo on this Big Bad Bill: https://t.co/m2i3F2gnFO

As ICE disappears our neighbors, LP leader Brad Lander has been regularly escorting immigrants to their check-ins. Today, in a continuing and troubling trend of intimidation against local officials, ICE arrested him and is currently in custody. We demand his immediate release.
Mayoral candidate Brad Lander was cuffed and detained by ICE agents after asking to see a warrant for people who were detained after an immigration hearing. Video from the city comptroller’s press secretary @chloecbristow. She says he’s still being held in 26 Federal Plaza.

Thank you, @SenBooker.
Americans aren’t a line item in a budget to cut. Your story matters, your voice matters, this fight matters.

This administration and their allies in Congress are waging a full-on attack against OUR health. From gutting Medicaid and undermining Medicare to decimating federal agencies that coordinate programs for disabled and elderly people, they are making us sicker while making

Just one fall out from last night's global health massacre: more than 350,000 people on HIV treatment, including nearly 10,000 children and more than 10,000 HIV-positive pregnant women. @EGPAF

We believe that patients and the providers they trust should be the ones to decide the kind of care they need. Health insurance companies have no business interfering in patient care. This shouldn’t be controversial.

I think about @AdyBarkan every single day but he’s been especially on my mind over the past two weeks. I think this moment our kids had together back in November would have made him smile his biggest smile. Happy Birthday, Ady!

In 2019, @AdyBarkan sat down with @KamalaHarris for a healthcare conversation. His insurance company had just denied his own claim for home care. Ady asked Harris how her policies would address access to home care and support for caregivers. And Harris had a plan. Vote like

One year ago today, I lost my friend Ady Barkan 💔 Today we're releasing – for the first time – the full, uncut conversation between Ady and Kamala Harris we filmed in 2019 during the making of @NotGoingQuiet. Ten minutes of this emotional, tearful interview were released then,
