.@XavierBecerra re-ups his position on universal health care, says he’s a strong backer of #SinglePayer, makes strong case would reduce health care costs & says it makes no sense to tie health care benefits to jobs, employment. Single-payer may arise in #CAGOV race again. #HJ25

This letter from House Republicans in swing districts seems to leave the door open for cuts to the ACA Medicaid expansion, which covers 20 million people. That's not really much of a line in the sand.

Trump has repeatedly promised to force homeless people into government-run, taxpayer-funded detention camps. His plan is inhumane and doesn't solve anything. Compared to Trump's methods, housing-focused programs are proven to reduce homelessness by 88%. cbsnews.com/news/trump-homel…

Trump turns homelessness response away from housing, toward forced treatment

The Trump administration is moving to end the "Housing First" approach despite warnings from providers and homelessness experts that the shift won't work.

This is your regular reminder that 7 red/purple states (6 of which voted for Trump in 2024) have expanded Medicaid by popular vote. Collectively, they've enrolled a million people since 2017. The GOP is now targeting those expansions. politico.com/news/2025/02/27…
