This is upsetting (to say the least). During a time when my 2 income family who makes ok money but still live tight have to make choices at the grocery store due to this crazy inflation I hate this. Like email sending to anyone I can think of hate this Lmk if you want me to drop off an in-person message to any of your electeds. The Capitol is open.

Hi, everyone! I hope it’s ok to crash in here with a school question. I have to write a paper on a current healthcare proposal in Congress and its potential effects. I’m ashamed to say I’ve been out of the loop with most news/politics lately due to just having no time or energy. Is there anywhere I can look or does anyone know of any? I appreciate it! I’m taking 5 classes and it’s my whole life right now 😩.

I don't know if there's a specific bill/proposal yet but Republicans are eyeing cuts to Medicaid or turning it into block grants in the upcoming debt ceiling brouhaha: www.politico.com/newsletters/politico-nightly/2023/02/14/how-vulnerable-is-medicaid-in-the-debt-ceiling-battle-00082903

That medication abortion bill may become very important very quickly if the Texas court case decides to ban them. We're still waiting on a decision but it could come at any time now.

DM me the link and I can help you navigate through their resources or reach out. Librarians LOVE to help.

I think they really don't care. They have never cared about humanity other than how it can make them more money. That's why they are billionaires.

A lot of the billionaires appear to have peaked in undergrad in terms of intellect and critical thinking.

And because my stoned ass thinks that might read wrong I mean less educational attainment and more age. They all knew how to code young when it was relatively rare, but now are older and increasingly irrelevant but were so gassed up that they were geniuses they didn't realize your still supposed to grow as a person

They don't care. They don't interact with us peasants anyways. They swim through their pools of hundreds and laugh at us all, I'm sure.

elle I keep trying to come with words for that news and I can't. I am relieved that there is at least some warning for anyone who is a potential victim, but the whole thing is so fucked.

Senator Cavanaugh is working HARD to protect Nebraskans against bad faith bills that attack our children. She is continually underestimated, but she has proven to them time and time again she is not playing. If anyone is willing to send her a kind email of support, she sure could use the support: mcavanaugh@leg.ne.gov

It's so true. The whole Portland area was really struggling with this during the summer of protest.
