Started my morning at @TheRealANCOR Connect ‘25 conference with the Government Relations Committee. Great discussion on collaborative efforts to protect Medicaid funding.
THREAD: Since stepping back into the Oval Office Trump's been purposefully flooding the zone w/ a constant stream of outrage porn to distract. Here's the stories that actually matter that you might've missed this week:

And adding trillions in deficit spending.
