Affordability is a major theme of this year’s midterms, and for good reason. But whatever happens in November, harsh Medicaid cuts are already scheduled to go into effect after them. Last year’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” slashed Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs to fund tax cuts for the rich, a $1 trillion Pentagon budget, and an unprecedented boost for ICE.<\/p>\n

These cuts will make life considerably less affordable for Americans who are already struggling. This week in OtherWords, California mom Margarita Spataro shares how the cuts could make it harder to care for her disabled daughter<\/strong><\/a>. And Ramya Gosike documents how the administration tried to justify the cuts by scapegoating immigrants. In reality, Ramya points out, “immigrants didn’t take your health care. ICE did<\/strong><\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Also this week, Gabrielle Davis connects affordability concerns to Gen Z women’s reluctance to have kids<\/strong><\/a> — and accuses policy makers of trying to force unintended pregnancies rather than address the underlying issues. And Jim Hightower lambasts President Trump for going all in on AI even as Americans across the spectrum grow increasingly distrustful<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

New This Week…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My Daughter Belongs at Home, Not in an Institution<\/a> | <\/strong>Margarita Spataro
\n<\/strong>This administration has given parents of kids with disabilities so much to worry about \u2014 including losing our health coverage and seeing our kids institutionalized.<\/p>\n

Immigrants Didn\u2019t Take Your Health Care. ICE Did.<\/a> | <\/strong>Ramya Gosike
\n<\/strong>Millions of lawfully present immigrants are set to lose health care under the GOP\u2019s changes. Millions more U.S. citizens will join them.<\/p>\n

Gen Z Women Don\u2019t Owe America Babies<\/a> | <\/strong>Gabrielle Davis
\n<\/strong>We need an economy where having a family is actually affordable \u2014 and where reproductive choices remain our own.<\/p>\n

Americans Don\u2019t Trust AI. Trump Says \u2018Let It Reign.\u2019<\/a> | <\/strong>Jim Hightower
\n<\/strong>President Trump threatens that communities opposing centers will be \u201cbackward and poor.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Case You Missed It…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Fight Against Data Centers Is Bringing Americans Together<\/a> | <\/strong>Sonali Kolhatkar
\n<\/strong>Whether rural or urban, red or blue, more communities are pushing for a pause on these facilities that threaten our air, water, jobs, and electric bills.<\/p>\n

Dolly Parton\u2019s America Was the Opposite of Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> | <\/strong>Melissa Dimondstein
\n<\/strong>The best way to honor Dolly Parton\u2019s legacy is with generosity, kindness, compassion, respect, and unity.<\/p>\n

Struggling Families Like Mine Are Waiting on a Bomb to Go Off<\/a>\u00a0 | <\/strong>Aidalis Martinez
\n<\/strong>Harsh safety net cuts are coming after this year\u2019s midterms. With health care and food already so expensive, what will happen to us?<\/p>\n

Is It Socialism Or Just Common Sense?<\/a> | <\/strong>Chuck Collins
\n<\/strong>Inequality has destroyed the American Dream. It\u2019s no wonder many Americans want something different.<\/p>\n
