If you watch one thing today, make it this. 😡
At the “Hands Off” rally Saturday in Charlotte, Becca Smoot, a local real estate agent, talked about how Medicaid has kept her family afloat after her daughter Ella’s premature birth. Medicaid is one of a number of federally-funded programs that President Trump and his advisor, Elon Musk, are targeting for deep cuts.
Thousands of people across North Carolina—and millions of people across the nation—participated in the protests Saturday.
The demonstrations focused on Trump cuts to Veteran Affairs, public education, community healthcare programs, foreign aid, and more. For more North Carolina news and politics, follow @cardinalandpine.
