Regarding impeachment,of course I want him gone ,but then we end up with Vance and Mike Johnson and that's a nightmare too.The whole cabinet needs to be impeached.
I disagree. No one has the cultlike support Trump does. Vance is roundly hated, even by people in his own party. He's awful, but Trump is deranged. It's also just the right thing to do. Republicans called for Biden's impeachment BEFORE HE WAS EVEN SWORN IN. We are not going to less when actual impeachable offenses have been committed.
That has been my response to anyone voicing support for impeachment- there are too many individuals in line to take the reins who are also dangerous (maybe even worse on some items) so taking steps to put one of them in this position would be disastrous.
Jessica, your explanation about Republican's sneak attack on Medicaid, you are right on target. I would add that the ACA Medicaid expansion brought poor single adults into Medicaid benefit and if it is pulled we will see the results in even more homeless people on our streets, more fentanyl overdoses and increased pressures on already stressed hospital ERs. And it will be DEVASTATING to the nation's community health systems.
I too am very concerned about leaving the country in Vance's hands. At least he's not certifiable but he is committed to Project 2025 which I believe is the true puppetmaster.
Love you, Jessica! Thank you for the inspiration and information, as always!
This week I'm hosting two sign-making parties and going to two demonstrations on May 1st - one at Oakland Federal Courthouse, one at SF City Hall), and then hosting a watch party for Resistance Labs on Sunday!
Stronger Together, Happier and Hopeful Together! Fierce and Feistier Together!
Watched your whole podcast, well done! And I agree, contacting your representatives is very important. I have contacted my rep and 2 senators and am not pleased with their response, so I will continue to call occasionally when I can piece together a different approach to my questions, like do they support the articles of impeachment submitted yesterday.
Jess: Thank you for the xpostfactoid tip. Please look at the new 4/29 newsletter. The public is missing the Republican intention to gut the ACA via cuts to Medicaid Expansion. I hope you'll amplify this more. People are missing it.
Close readers saw this in the April 14 letter from "concerned" Republicans, but this should be big news and a focus of opposition: The GOP is working - again - to repeal the ACA.
Apologies for moving too fast. Feels urgent! Thank you for surfacing and explaining the trickery around the "most vulnerable" language moderates are hiding behind as you did. (It's shocking how underreported this is.) My ask: Please consider more explicitly calling the Republican plan out as a backdoor repeal of the ACA. What they couldn't do in 2017, they're trying to do now. It would take healthcare from 21 million people.
I appreciate you being kind to your friends Jessica regarding phone calling but I encourage you to be less permissive about the issue of false premises regarding addresses and such. I believe very strongly that "taking the high road" makes for the strongest position and would urge people to remain honest.
Great. I possibly misundertood your comments that I thought were about misrepresenting residential address on phone calls. Anyway. Things go by pretty quickly sometimes. Thanks for the good works always !

For my ResistBot petition tomorrow, I am debating between the LGBTQI+ suicide hotline defunding and the Medicaid cuts proposed in the budget. Oh, and the attack on ActBlue. So many topics!

Yes! Too soon for this...need the House in 26
Thank you so much Jessica... Great info... No cuts at all...
Doodle and Tator Tot say hi to Walter✌🏻
Keep spreading the truth and highlighting Medicaid expansion. Such a nightmare for the poor and disabled

Amazing!
You are my go-to for the truth and how to take action!
Thank you!

Isn't that what I talked about in this video? Or is there a new angle I'm missing?

Thanks for all you do! You're so inspiring.
Thanks Jessica!!

Oh yay! Then I think we had all 50 states covered!
We’re looking for someone to run against Dan Sullivan in 2026, maybe Mary Peltola 🤞🏼

Yes my friends don't lie. They just call and speak their minds. I don't endorse lying ever.
