   Bad news: last night the spending bill in the US House of Representatives was amended to exclude transgender *adults* from medicaid https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/house-spending-bill-now-bans-medicaid

   And worse: this bill just passed the House of Representatives, is on to the senate. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/22/house-vote-trump-tax-bill

   Call your senators *now* before hundreds of thousands of transgender folks lose access to health care!

     @ins0mniak @cwebber Turns out that laws were written in similar ways like ActivityPub. They allow too much flexibility at the detriment of others.

     @nora @cwebber I wrote this script, which is a slight tweak on the one from the 5Calls app about the big beautiful bill:

     Hi, my name is [name] and I'm a constituent from [zip]. I'd like an email response at ...

     I'm calling today to urge Senator [senator's name] to vote NO on H.R. 1, the House budget reconciliation bill. Two important parts of this bill stand out to me. Firstly, it will suspend trans access to healthcare. Trans healthcare barely makes a dent in the national budget, harms no one, and saves thousands of lives anually. Please do not allow this to be taken away. More importantly, there's a provision that will limit the enforcement of contempt of court charges. This was clearly included in the bill just to allow the Trump administration to defy court orders and the Constitution. I expect Senator [senator's name] to protect trans youth and the rule of law. Thank you.

     For future call scripts, I'm a fan of Jessica Craven's: https://chopwoodcarrywaterdailyactions.substack.com

     I don't know why you're so concerned. You're still covered if you get prostate cancer. 🤷♂️
