@SenBooker: "Chuck Schumer, it's the only time in my life I can tell you no."
Schumer: "I just wanted to tell you, a question, do you know you have just broken the record?"

Atrocious. Public input to regulation changes is an important part of a functioning democracy. #HHSSec #RFKJr disallowing the public to participate just adds to the sinister authoritarianism we're seeing all across this administration
⛔️NO PUBLIC COMMENTS ALLOWED—Trump HHS Secretary RFK Jr. announced plans to strip public participation from much of the business that he/HHS conducts, despite his pledge of “radical transparency” at HHS. The statement said HHS would rescind its longtime practice of giving members of the public a chance to comment on the agency’s plans.

BREAKING: Judge Cannon has DENIED Nauta/DeOliveira's motion to BLOCK VOL I of the final Jack Smith report. She has set a HEARING as to VOL II on 1/17. Her order barring the release of VOL I expires in 11 hours. SCOTUS has that long to stop it's release.

In this leaked list of cuts, "lower FMAP floor" for Medicaid means states pay a higher proportion of Medicaid costs for enrollees - this just shoves fed costs to states so billionaires get more yacht money 🙄

In order to make his rich, billionaire buddies richer, Trump wants to kick millions off healthcare coverage and starve families. How does this help working families thrive?
Here is the early “menu” of $5T in cuts House GOP could use to bankroll Trump’s top priorities this year
Medicaid, ACA measures, SNAP, IRA $ + more

"...To truly deliver for working people, it is going to take all of us standing up and rejecting the politics of the status quo. In the years to come, we can elect candidates who will stand with working people and refuse to be bought by corporations. " 1/2

📰 WaPo: “Democrats stand ready to extend the tax credits to ensure everyone has access to affordable health care,” Brad Woodhouse, executive director of Democrat-aligned advocacy group Protect Our Care, said in a statement Thursday. “It’s time for Republicans to get on board.”

Health care administrative costs are indeed much higher in the U.S. than in other countries. That's driven primarily by private insurance. In traditional Medicare, administrative costs total 1.3% of total spending.

if you take Trump's threat to put a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods seriously, one of the first results would be an immediate increase in gas prices, especially in the midwest—Canadian pipeline-transported crude feeds key refineries throughout the US
