In this episode of Ella: Black and Brown Women Disruptors in Healthcare and Beyond, Dr. Haydée Brown and Dr. Sonya Sloan break down how the government shutdown is impacting healthcare in America, from hospitals and clinics to programs like CHIP and WIC. They analyze proposed Republican budget cuts, including over $1.1 trillion from Medicaid and the ACA, potential coverage losses for millions, rising premiums, and shifts in Medicare costs, while highlighting how political messaging and blurred lines under the Hatch Act threaten public trust.

Not only is truth a powerful tool, it is also the enemy of MAGA.
The democrats didn't cause the shut down. Republicans hold the house, senate and the presidency they caused the shut down.
This regime blames their incompetence on illegal immigrants. Code that keeps maga in check.
Does anyone actually BELIEVE anything Leavitt says?
Tax payers will never see this 24 million dollar dining room and tax payers should not have to pay for it either. No more money from the poor for this government. They do not want to work for the people do let the heritage foundation pay them.!!!😠😠😠
Everyone in the heritage foundation should end up in prison. He is as much a liar as trump believe nothing he says. They don't tell you that republicans in senate went on vacation so they are not in the capital to work with the democrats. I don't think if the republicans are not working and giving our medicare and Medicaid back to the people then democrats should not deal with republicans at all. Do not give in to them.
He blames everything in the democrats. And the rest 're more lies.
The public with 100% confidence the Republicans with 100% confidence not one percent doubt has claimed that obviously the election was stolen and obviously Trump was aware they say at the American public look at them right in the eye that they know for sure that the election was stolen and I’m sure that they say Trump has the evidence I think it’s impeding justice. They should release the evidence right now. They should get a special news report right now with every network and expose the American people the proof that they have to prove without a shadow of a doubt without even one percent doubt it they know better than anybody you know better than a jury they know these January 6 people were set up. Don’t believe a jury. Why would you believe a jury or a judge? They are obviously a republican they’re just trying to make trouble I guess.
Not only does have proof that the election was stolen his proof that Obama actually put a bug in his office. What’s that about? How come he won’t tell you when he asked about it reporter they know what he’s talking about. What is he talking about? Why is he not telling the truth? Why does he point for the evidence? Isn’t that when America is all about to write injustices like that that’s a huge injustice he’s got the evidence that the Russian hoax was not a hoax. Why won’t he tell what the evidence is and let America decide with this guy he says he doesn’t know Elon Musk, Epstein, or hello Ellen macro whatever he says he doesn’t know her maybe after the stroke he had maybe he doesn’t remember things that he should like the perfect phone call. Also wondering what is a perfect phone call we should call up Hercules believe it or not and and put a claim that he made a perfect phone call. I want to know if he dialed perfectly if he took a perfect time to do that and the words or the attitude of the loudness of his words or what makes a perfect phone call with it. Never be another perfect phone call is he made the ultimate perfect phone Call That would be interesting. I got nothing was perfect in this world, but judging he judged himself if he judge himself, it’s gotta be perfect. It’s gotta be true and it’s gotta be. You know the proof that everyone needs he made a perfect phone call. I’d like to know what goes into that. Perfect phone callthe time, the loudness, etc. please somebody tell me what a perfect public is.
As I understand it, Trump has proof that the election was stolen from him. He’s had this proof for years. He should be forced by the American public to put for the evidence. Why is he holding back? What’s it for him? Why can’t he release the information he has is that in impeding an investigation is that anti-American something wrong happened and Trump and the Republicans for years have said they have the proof it’s obvious every time they ask for it they would never release it. They go to court last almost every time. Why won’t Trump tell the truth he’s hiding and it’s hurting America let out the truth. Mr. Trump let out the evidence let American decide whether it’s true or not. It’s very confusing to me. He’s making a claim he saying he has the evidence but he doesn’t say what it is. Is there something wrong with this man? Is he like twisted something that important does the American public would be interested in and he won’t release it and the Republicans too. Add them in the mix. They’re doing a great dish service to this country.
Then pay free health-care to all legal people moron! . F the trump.
She is just as ignorant as he is.
She is lying again.
You're robbing common people by not working across the isle. And the plan you have in place is giving life by the death of your supporters.

I want to sue Lyin Levitt for misleading the American people
I'm white and 65, and I know that the fate of this country will be saved by strong Black Women!

Remember: While DJT was hobnobbing with Democrats, he was a very close friend of Richard Nixon & spent long hours talking to Nixon while he was in office & up until he became very ill (per a documentary about DJT I had watched several years ago).
Project, 2025 is already 48% complete.
Unbelievable Trump and his crony government still can get away with pushing these lying little documentaries, how foolish are MAGA? This harms you as well. Trump is a lying grifter he's going to sink everybody,wake up.
🚨Just watch their body language. You can tell they're lying! He's stolen grants from universities that's supposed to be for research that was already appropriated by Congress. There's an old come Insulation at all! People have to stand up and oppose. A system of checks & balances. I guess that doesn't apply to people like Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Trump and Drug dealers🤷🏽♂️
