Republicans want to cut YOUR healthcare to pay for a war in Iran that nobody asked for and nobody voted for. 300,000 Americans will lose coverage so bombs can fly. Bombs over benefits. That’s the GOP budget. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Marya’s sons Joey and Ian have the right to live, thrive and be part of their community. Medicaid makes that real. Trump & Republicans want to strip it for war funding. We refuse to accept that. ✊ #FundHealthcareNotWar

Cutting health insurance for 300,000 Americans to fund a 200 billion dollar war in Iran is a moral failure. This budget is a ransom note written in the public’s blood. People over profits. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Every bomb dropped abroad costs what could’ve been a year of healthcare for an American family. Republicans have never once said “we can’t afford this war.” They only say that about your insulin, your chemo, your child’s checkup. #FundHealthcareNotWar

There are 25+ million uninsured Americans RIGHT NOW. Republicans’ answer is to cut 300,000 MORE from coverage to fund bombs over Iran. No debate. No vote. Just cuts. This must be stopped. #FundHealthcareNotWar

The US spends $886 billion a year on defense. We can’t find money for universal healthcare. 68 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. This is a priorities problem. Republicans chose bombs over your body. Hold them accountable. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Soldiers sacrifice their bodies for wars nobody wants. And back home? Everyday Americans sacrifice their health: skipping care, drowning in bills, praying they don’t get sick. A doctor is begging us to see it: we’re ALL paying for these wars with our bodies #FundHealthcareNotWar

Trump & Hegseth want $200 BILLION for war with Iran while tens of thousands of Americans die every year because they can’t afford a doctor. Choose a side: bombs or beds, missiles or medicine. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Healthcare decisions belong in clinics & homes not boardrooms and stock markets. We gave away that power and people are paying with their lives. Congress votes on war funding today while millions go uninsured. The revolution starts with us demanding better. #FundHealthcareNotWar

No one should die because an embargo knocked out hospital power. No one should be murdered for oil or capitalism dressed up as democracy. Americans are going without healthcare to fund THIS. The House votes on war powers TODAY. Enough. Not in our name. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Sen. Ossoff: Trump said he’d put America First. Now he says funding Medicaid is not possible but war always is. Premiums are up. Hospitals are closing. Soldiers are dying. The First Family is getting richer. Today’s war powers vote is your chance to say enough. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Rex Jr. needs community-based care to have a full quality of life. Medicaid delivers that. Republicans want to slash it for Trump’s war in Iran. Whose sibling has to lose everything before they stop? 😤 #FundHealthcareNotWar

Mike Johnson bragged about “notebooks full of ideas” to improve healthcare. Axios revealed what was in them: strip millions of Americans of coverage to fund a war with Iran. Today the House votes on war powers. Now you know exactly what that vote means. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Imagine holding your premature baby, terrified — and Medicaid is what stands between him and catastrophe. That’s Kyra’s story. Trump wants to cut that lifeline to fund his war in Iran. 💔 #FundHealthcareNotWar

Sen. Warnock is right: Republicans found $200 billion for a war in Iran overnight. But for 25 million uninsured Americans? Nothing. No urgency. No bill. No vote. They fund what they value. And they just told you exactly what that is. #FundHealthcareNotWar

Mexico guaranteed healthcare for 130 million people by 2028. Canada’s had it for years. The United States, wealthiest nation on Earth, just left a 48-year-old uninsured for the first time in her life. But the House is voting on war powers today. Priorities. #FundHealthcareNotWar

A watermelon is $10. Potato chips nearly doubled. One cart of groceries — $150. A woman said she stays home now just to survive. This is what living under Trump feels like. Every. Single. Day. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Billionaires got tax cuts. Corporations got record profits. You got $8 butter and $12 orange juice. That’s not a supply chain problem. That’s a policy choice called tariffs. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

FML grocery prices just surged at the fastest rate since 2022. Paychecks are tapped out, carts are lighter, and families are forced to choose what to put back. This is what economic failure looks like at the checkout line. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Look, nobody’s asking for luxury. Just a decent cup of coffee to start the day — that one small thing that makes the morning bearable. But $30 for 32 ounces? $21 for 21? That “first world problem” is hitting every household budget hard right now. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Trump is bleeding people dry. This woman in Michigan walked in for a few items & spent over $100 without buying real meals. This isn’t about poor choices. This is a system that is failing working people on every single front. 😤 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Still waiting on those $2 eggs, Donald. Still waiting on the $.99 gas. Still waiting on prices dropping “immediately” like you promised. What we got instead: tariffs, chaos, and a grocery bill that looks like a car payment. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

A family of four now spends up to $1,600 a month just on groceries. That’s a mortgage payment. That’s a car note. That’s what Trump’s economy actually costs regular people while billionaires cash out. This is not normal. Don’t let them tell you it is. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

“Eat real food,” they preach—while wages stagnate, SNAP and food aid get slashed, food deserts grow, and corporations pump toxins into what’s left on the shelves. That’s not choice, it’s cruelty. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

They weren’t even at a fancy restaurant. Just trying to order something decent to the house. But between the food prices, the delivery charge, and the tip — it turned into a whole financial decision. This is everyday life now. That’s where we are. 😔 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Groceries up 3% in one month — the highest in years. And analysts say we’re just at the BEGINNING. Trump’s war in Iran is driving up diesel. Diesel moves 80% of our food. We’re all paying for a war we didn’t vote for. 💸 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

$6.99 for the CHEAP ground beef. $6 for a handful of strawberries. $12 for a watermelon that used to cost $2. A honey bun is now $2.30 — it was 75 cents. And $10 gets you basically nothing. But sure, tell us the economy is fine. 🙃🛒 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

He’s not talking about lobster. He’s at Costco pricing out lentils & flour — the basics people buy when they’re trying to stretch a dollar. Prices doubling in a single year should be a national emergency. Where is the outrage? Where is the accountability? #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

$300 at the grocery store. ONE week of basics. No fancy snacks. No restaurants. JUST FOOD. Texas families aren’t being dramatic — DFW has the HIGHEST grocery prices in the state & 24th most expensive in the NATION. This is the economy they sold you. 🧾💸 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Eggs. Milk. $14. That’s it. That’s the whole post. A year ago that was unthinkable. Now it’s Friday. Trump said he doesn’t think about your finances — and your grocery receipt proves he meant it. 💸 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Seattle inflation hit 4.9%. Eating out up 7%. Clothes up 15%. Broccoli at record highs. And economists are warning — once prices rise, they tend to stay there. Trump promised relief. What we got was unpredictable, relentless, everywhere. 💸 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Food pantries in Connecticut have nearly TRIPLED in visitors. 39,000 families lost SNAP benefits. Groceries are up. People are saying: “I take only what I need.” This is Trump’s America. And we can’t afford it. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

MAHA? Make America Healthy Again? Beef up 14%. Fruit & veggies up 6.5%. Groceries just had their WORST month in 4 years. You can’t eat healthy when you can’t afford food. Trump’s war. Trump’s prices. Our pain. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Our parents said “we got McDonald’s at home.” Now folks can’t afford THAT either. Ground beef. Potatoes. Bread. Grocery prices jumped more in April than in 4 YEARS. What did YOU stop buying? This is Trump’s economy on your table. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

“Grocery prices ain’t no joke” isn’t a meme, it’s the state of the union. People are grateful just to get to the store and still walk out distraught at the total. But sure, tell us it’s all in our heads.🤬 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

The noise is meant to make you feel small. If your voice didn't carry power, they wouldn't try so hard to silence it. They are betting on your apathy because they fear our collective action. Prove them wrong and show up.

Resistance grows with every attempt to quiet us. They can change the rules, but they cannot change our resolve. When we are told to back down, we push forward even harder. This is how real change begins and how victories are earned.

$200 billion. 3 months. Enough to fund healthcare for every American who needs it — for years. Instead? Trump’s war gets it. This is a choice by Trump & Republicans. Remember that. #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

300,000 Americans will lose health insurance so Republicans can write a $200 billion check for war in Iran. This isn’t a budget proposal. It’s a ransom note written in your blood. Say it loud: #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar !!!
