Kaiser caregivers didn’t want to be on strikeβ€”they’d rather be in hospitals, clinics and labs caring for patients. But Kaiser executives have left them no choice. @ofnhp #OneVoiceOneFightOneFuture #KaiserStrike

The Affordable Care Act tax credits help millions of students, retirees, small business owners, and working families afford to see a doctor & get the care they need. This is who will be hurt if Trump & the GOP allow those credits to expire.

Hospitals like SUNY Downstate depend on Medicaid funding to keep their communities healthy. Trump’s deep cuts to healthcare and failure to renew Affordable Care Act tax credits could leave families with no access to the care they need. https://t.co/INUaxj3nRG?

Exactly. Trump's higher education compact is a threat to academic freedom and independence, and is an effort to silence colleges and universities who do not fall in line with the Trump administration's agenda. @AFTHigherEd

Most of these guys are not in high school or college. They're adults. And "All young men call black people monkeys and say rape is epic" is a pathetic defense.

Enhanced Premium Tax Credits make it possible for more than 20M people to get the healthcare they need. But instead of making them permanent, Republicans passed the biggest health care cuts in U.S. history. It's time for Congress to put families first & cut healthcare costs.

No matter where I go, my message is the same: strengthen, don't abandon public education. We have to focus not just on what's wrong, but we have to imagine what we want for our kids, our schools, & our communitiesβ€”and find a way to make that dream happen. https://t.co/LVxxFHqPS7
