Republicans and Trump Administration officials at federal health agencies are calling their temporary rural health fund “the largest investment in rural healthcare in history.”
This “investment” is an $87B funding cut! 5/

The full impact of the bill’s Medicaid cuts, however, includes an estimated $137B in cuts to rural areas.
Their “rural health fund” doesn't restore anywhere near the funding they voted to cut from rural areas. And the cuts are permanent, whereas the fund is temporary. 4/
Some Republicans were concerned that these cuts would lead to widespread closures of rural hospitals.
To win their votes, Republican leadership added a temporary $50B “rural health fund” to offset some cuts in rural areas, which expires in five years. 3/

Their Big Ugly Bill, H.R.1, was enacted and signed into law by President Trump and cuts an estimated $911 billion from Medicaid.
This is the largest cut to Medicaid since the program was created and these cuts are permanent. 2/
As the government funding deadline nears, Republicans are lying about their Big Ugly Bill’s massive Medicaid cuts and harm to rural hospitals.
They refuse to meet or negotiate to stop the impending health care premium hikes.
Here's the truth: 1/
More mob boss-style extortion from Trump, but this threat is just to continue the harm they're already inflicting on the country.
Trump and Vought want to manipulate federal workers and the public into blaming others for the mass firings they're carrying out.

These phony charges demanded by Trump as an act of vengeance are a direct assault on the rule of law in the United States, and an act of staggering corruption.
Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history, and it isn't close.

Justice has been denied to the families of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, Sayfollah Musallet, Tawfic Abdel Jabbar, Rachel Corrie for far too long.
Impunity is not the foundation of a rational alliance. Decades of Israeli government impunity must end. 2/2
I recently met with families of Americans killed by Israeli forces and extremist settler violence. I join their call for accountability for their loved ones' deaths and urge the release of Mohammed Ibrahim, a 16-year-old Florida boy jailed for 6 months without trial. 1/
Republicans & Trump gave each millionaire an average tax cut big enough to give four people healthcare.
They didn't have to do that, it was a choice. They chose to rip healthcare from millions and cut taxes for the rich.
Now they're raising healthcare costs for millions more.
Trump cut U.S. military aid to Taiwan the *same day* he made a TikTok deal with Xi Jinping.
And it turns out the financial benefits of Trump's TikTok deal are going to his own billionaire allies.
Insanely corrupt.

JUST IN: The Trump administration's bid to coerce states to comply with immigration enforcement in order to receive disaster aid is illegal and unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ALCOA CEO: “.. Tariffs can change very quickly, and therefore we don’t make an investment in the US based on a tariff.”

The CEO of Alcoa, one of the largest American aluminum producers: "we don’t make an investment in the U.S. based on a tariff."
Trump's tariffs create major uncertainty for businesses, including the ones they're supposed to be helping.

The Big Ugly Bill is the biggest health care cut in American history, and it isn't close. The American people deserve better, and Democrats are fighting to restore and protect your health care.
The Big Ugly Bill cut $137 billion from rural health. Republicans created a temporary $50 billion rural health fund to "fix" it.
You do the math.
Trump is now lying that Dems' push to restore full Medicaid funding means we want to cut rural health- exactly what he himself did!
We warned Republicans repeatedly as they passed their Big Ugly Bill that this would happen, and they ignored us and all voted for it anyway.

And it isn't just these three- more rural hospitals in Virginia are at risk of closure because of the law:
The three health clinics are in the Shenandoah Valley, in Buena Vista, Weyers Cave, and Churchville- rural communities in western Virginia.
Some patients will be relocated to nearby providers, but some will have to travel much farther for care. Local news from western VA:
One shutdown is already happening: Trump and Republicans are shutting down rural health clinics in Virginia.
This is thanks to Medicaid cuts and other health care cuts in their Big Ugly Bill.
National press haven't talked about this much, but it's a big deal here in Virginia.
Eventually NIH rehired the lab techs and Richard is receiving the care he needs, but the delay almost cost him his eligibility entirely. These are the impacts of the actions of the Trump Administration.
I will continue to fight back. 3/3
