STAT · Cuts to Medicaid will set the U.S. back 35 years in dementia care“We’re the richest country in the world. It’s callous to say it’s costing too much for poor disabled people to do chair yoga.”

@CindyWeinstein Everything with Republicans is cruel and nothing has to do with saving money for everyday Americans.

Kamala Harris would have been better for us in every way.

@TonyStark @CindyWeinstein People who call Biden or Harris "the lesser of two evils" are absolute brain dead fucktards.

Not remotely.

@arbres @CindyWeinstein No one should ever say that or anything like that if they want to win elections.

@TonyStark @CindyWeinstein I kinda think the ultra left are just like the ultra right with attacking reasonable, rational, moderate people who understand that compromise is essential for a functioning government and country. (looks around at the incredible mess.😬)
