Health of Women, Moms, and People of Color Is Deteriorating -- All Thanks to Trump and Republicans Gutting Medicaid
WASHINGTON, April 14 -- Protect Our Care issued the following news:* * *
The Health of Women, Moms, and People of Color Is Deteriorating -- All Thanks to Trump and Republicans Gutting Medicaid
As we enter the second full week of Medicaid Awareness Month, Protect Our Care is releasing new fact sheets that show how Trump and congressional Republicans' war on health care is jeopardizing the lives of Americans of every stripe, especially women, moms, and people of color.
Republicans gutted $1 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to bankroll tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. ... Show Full Article WASHINGTON, April 14 -- Protect Our Care issued the following news: * * * The Health of Women, Moms, and People of Color Is Deteriorating -- All Thanks to Trump and Republicans Gutting Medicaid As we enter the second full week of Medicaid Awareness Month, Protect Our Care is releasing new fact sheets that show how Trump and congressional Republicans' war on health care is jeopardizing the lives of Americans of every stripe, especially women, moms, and people of color. Republicans gutted $1 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to bankroll tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.As a result, rural moms are being thrown into maternity care deserts and bracing for nightmare experiences like Teela's from Oregon: after her local maternity ward shuttered, she was forced to give birth on the highway while racing to get to the nearest hospital. Caregivers, like Lisa from New Hampshire, are losing critical support that helps keep their families afloat -- forcing them to make impossible decisions between keeping a roof over their heads, putting food on the table, or caring for their loved ones. People of color like DeRay from Maryland, who relied on Medicaid as a lifeline for affordable care for their babies, are having the rug pulled out from under them.
Already, Black women are two to three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. American women face the worst access to health care among high-income nations, despite Americans paying far more for care than any other country. Yet, instead of fixing an unaffordable health care system that too often produces disparities, Trump and congressional Republicans decided to pour gasoline on the fire. Because they ransacked Medicaid, over 800 hospitals, birthing centers, maternity wards, and other critical providers are shuttering, cutting services, or at risk of both, while millions face dystopian futures in the days and years ahead.
Because Trump and Congressional Republicans Threw Women, Moms, and People of Color Under the Bus to Make the Rich Richer:
* Millions of Women, Moms, and People of Color Will Be Kicked Off Coverage and Hit With Hiked Health Care Costs. Medicaid covers 40 percent of births, nearly a third of all people of color, and women make up the majority of adults covered by Medicaid. Thanks to Republicans cutting nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid in their big, ugly bill, 7.5 million Americans on Medicaid are losing health care, including seniors, moms, young women, and people with disabilities. Three million Americans have already been stripped of their Medicaid coverage since the bill's passage. Over 20 million Americans on Medicaid will also be hit with a sick tax, meaning more bills each time they see specialists for diabetes and other conditions.
* Moms and Their Babies Will Be Forced Into Maternity Care Deserts at a Time When 35% of Counties Already Lack Birthing Hospitals and Birth Centers. Since Republicans gutted Medicaid, over 30 labor and delivery units have been forced to shutter, and over 140 are at risk of closing their doors.
* Medicaid Cuts Will Lead to Worse Health Outcomes for Women and People of Color. Studies show health coverage is a key force in reducing health disparities and ensuring good health outcomes. Medicaid expansion saved lives and drastically reduced racial/ethnic health coverage disparities. After Republicans passed the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, multiple states are being forced to consider repealing Medicaid expansion and rolling back over a decade of progress.
* Medicaid Cuts Are Drowning Women and People of Color Who Face the Burden of Caregiving. Medicaid is the largest payer for long-term care and home-based care services in the United States. Now, states are being forced to cut Medicaid programs that cover these essential services or compensate people who stay at home to care for a child or parent with a disability full-time, which will disproportionately affect women and people of color.

Catholic League Issues Commentary: Pope And President Clash
NEW YORK, April 14 -- The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, an organization that defends the right of Catholics to participate in American public life without defamation or discrimination, issued the following commentary on April 13, 2026, by President Bill Donohue:* * *
POPE AND PRESIDENT CLASH

Show Full Article NEW YORK, April 14 -- The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, an organization that defends the right of Catholics to participate in American public life without defamation or discrimination, issued the following commentary on April 13, 2026, by President Bill Donohue: * * * POPE AND PRESIDENT CLASH Pope Leo XIV and President Trump have had their differences before, but now they are at a serious juncture. After weeks of the pope criticizing the president over the war on Iran, Trump hit back on Truth Social saying the pope was "WEAK on Crime, and terrible on Foreign Policy." Trump'srecent threats to Iran were stark. "A whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again." He said he would target bridges and power plants, thus endangering the lives of innocents. Those reckless comments triggered rebukes worldwide, from the U.N. to the Vatican.
The U.N. secretary general responded by saying Trump's remarks were "deeply troubled statements suggesting that entire civilian populations or civilisations may be made to bear the consequences of political and military decisions. There is no military objective that justifies the wholesale destruction of a society's infrastructure or the deliberate infliction of suffering on civilian populations."
The Holy Father was just as strong in his denunciation of Trump's statement, calling it "totally unacceptable." He added that to attack infrastructure was a "sign of the hatred, the division, the destruction human beings are capable of, and we all want to work for peace."
Both the U.N. secretary general and the pope said that if Trump went through with his threats, it would be considered a war crime under international law.
Pope Leo's desire for peace is understandable. Less understandable was his sweeping statement on March 1 claiming that peace is achieved "only" through "dialogue." That is simply not true. Historically, war has frequently resulted in peace, an outcome that comes about when dialogue fails. That is why the Catholic Church is not a pacifist religion--it understands the necessity of "just wars."
Trump's comment that the pope is weak on crime is no doubt in reference to the pontiff's criticisms of mass deportations. The U.S. bishops have also been vocal in denouncing the Trump administration on this issue. Cardinal Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, recently said that "it's very clear the American people are saying, 'We really didn't vote for this.'"
In fact, the American people did vote for mass deportations: Trump made this one of his key issues. Moreover, virtually every survey taken on this subject reveals that a majority of Americans approve mass deportations. They do so because they oppose the Biden policy of deliberately allowing 20 million illegal aliens to crash our borders, about which Catholics--55 percent of whom voted for Trump--heard very little from their leaders, either in Rome or at home.
Trump does not help his case by posing as Jesus blessing a bedridden man; he released this Truth Social picture after he criticized Leo. It is offensive and immature.
There will no doubt be occasions where the pope and the president will continue to make public their disagreements. But there are so many other issues, such as religious liberty, where the two share a common interest. Let's pray the latter prove to be controlling.

Randall Lee Miller is charged with a hate crime after a confrontation in which he reportedly shouted racist slurs, including "n--- b---," and "You're thereason why we need to bring back hanging n---s from trees."
"Acts of racism targeting Black Americans are part of a broader pattern of hate that must be addressed with seriousness and accountability," said CAIR-MI Executive Director Dawud Walid. "We welcome the hate crime charge in this case and urge authorities to continue sending a clear message that bias-motivated harassment and intimidation will not be tolerated in our communities."
Walid added: "Standing against anti-Black racism is essential to building a just society. We encourage community leaders and residents alike to speak out against hate in all its forms and support those who are targeted."
He said Washington, D.C., based CAIR and the American Muslim community stand in solidarity with all those challenging antisemitism, systemic anti-Black racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, white supremacy, and all other forms of bigotry.
Last week, CAIR-MI condemned the reported racist vandalism of a biracial couple's home in Brown City.

Show Full Article NEW YORK, April 14 (TNSrep) -- The Anti-Defamation League, an anti-hate organization that aims to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment for all, posted the following news release on April 13, 2026: * * * 11 Grades Updated in 2026 Campus Antisemitism Report Card Following Post-Release Developments Dozens of Colleges engaged in consultations with ADL in the month following the release of the Report Card; 89 percent of schools overall engaged with ADL * ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) today announced that it has issued revised grades for 11 schoolsfollowing consultations with dozens of the 150 schools assessed in the 2026 ADL Campus Antisemitism Report Card (https://www.adl.org/campus-antisemitism-report-card).
Since the initial March 10 release of the 2026 Report Card, ADL's regional and national campus advocacy teams actively engaged with a substantial number of the assessed institutions to guide them in adopting best practices and policies to combat antisemitism.
As part of these consultations, schools were provided with a grace period until April 10 to implement new policies and submit updated information to inform their report card grade. Overall, these efforts have brought the percentage of schools who have engaged with ADL to inform the report card assessment up to 89 percent (up from 86 percent in March 2026).
The consultations have also resulted in the revision of grades for 11 institutions, reflecting the positive changes made in response to ADL's recommendations.
"We continue to see progress - more schools are committing to taking steps to improve the campus experience for Jewish students, staff and faculty," said Shira Goodman, ADL's Vice President of Advocacy and head of the Ronald Birnbaum Center to Combat Antisemitism in Education. "But this work requires sustained vigilance. Schools must continue strengthening policies, implementing them consistently, and ensuring that Jewish members of campus communities feel safe and supported on campus. This is the bare minimum."
Following the release of the March 2026 Report Card, a number of universities immediately adopted or implemented new policies and programs, leading to several grade changes.

CUNY, Queens College ... B ... A ... Has mandated Title VI training that includes content on antisemitism for employees and has provided new information on the cessation of anti-Zionist student group activity on campus.

Grade Changes Based on Newly Submitted Information Not Previously Provided to ADL

ANONYMOUS DONOR (San Francisco, California) - As announced by the mayor, an anonymous donor has made a $3.5 million donation so that every baby born in San Francisco in 2026 will get $500 in their Trump account:
An anonymous donor has pledged $3.5 million to help San Francisco families take advantage of President Donald Trump's new investment accounts for U.S. children.
Mayor Daniel Lurie announced the donation Friday morning, offering few details about who was behind the money other than saying it was in honor of the Super Bowl happening Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Super Bowl-related events have also been held in San Francisco this week.
Under the "Trump accounts," which were authorized by the president's tax and spending bill Congress passed last year, the federal government will provide $1,000 into tax-advantaged savings accounts for any baby born between Jan. 1 last year and the end of 2028. Families can contribute up to $5,000 per year. Similar to retirement savings, the funds are invested in the stock market and become available when the account holder turns 18.
Lurie said the $3.5 million anonymous donation is expected to amount to about $500 per eligible child born in the city this year. It's not the first private gift to boost the Trump accounts: Michael Dell, the CEO of Dell Technologies, and his wife, Susan, committed $6.25 billion last year to augment the federal government's contribution for children from low- and middle-income families. - February 7, 2026 San Francisco Chronicle article

Michael and Susan Dell pledged $6.25 billion Tuesday to provide 25 million American children 10 and under an incentive to claim the new investment accounts for children created as part of President Donald Trump's tax and spending legislation.

Its structure is also unusual. Essentially, it builds on the " Trump Accounts " program, where the U.S. Department of the Treasury will deposit $1,000 into investment accounts it sets up for American children born between Jan. 1, 2025 and Dec. 31, 2028. The Dells' gift will use the "Trump Accounts" infrastructure to give $250 to each qualified child under 11.

Over the last two decades, Barbara has devoted herself to helping at-risk and disconnected youth in Connecticut, supporting youth-serving organizations, teachers, and public schools, while working in a bipartisan way with our state and with local municipalities. Barbara has seen firsthand the spirit of our youth, and many have a lot stacked against them. We believe these young people deserve a better chance for success.
That is why @DalioDotOrg is proud to join @MichaelDell & Susan Dell in seeding an expanded number of the new Trump Administration investment accounts, matching their $250 contribution per child for approximately 300,000 children in our home state of Connecticut.
By providing children with savings accounts that compound over time we are providing them with early insights into financial literacy and a path towards financial independence. I applaud President Trump, @SecScottBessent, the Dell Family and many others who have spearheaded this initiative.
We are hopeful other philanthropists and leaders will join this effort by contributing to similar initiatives in their home states, and we hope this catalyzes Secretary Bessent's "50 State Challenge." As we enter the holidays, I can think of no better gift than the gift of opportunity." -- X post December 17, 2025.

The Anand Legacy Foundation has pledged $500,000 to match Trump Savings Accounts with a $1,000 donation to newborns of mothers enrolled in eligible rehabilitation programs in Kern County who qualify and have opened a Trump Savings Account.
This philanthropic contribution, which will be made directly into the accounts of eligible recipients, reflects a strong commitment to President Trump's vision of ensuring that every American newborn starts life with a strong financial foundation and real opportunity. By investing directly in the futures of these children, this initiative advances the vision of an America where every child can build toward long-term stability and success.

American children born between 2025 and 2028 are eligible for a S1,000 government contribution to their Trump Account, and up to $5,000 per year can be contributed to an account from any source, including family, friends, and employers. The White House estimates that nearly 25 million families are eligible to receive this initial $1,000 investment from the Treasury Department. Children born before 2025 do not qualify for the $1,000 initial investment but parents can still open accounts for them, as long as they are under the age of 18.
"This landmark initiative, with generational impact, reflects our strong commitment to an America-first vision and to creating a true pathway to prosperity for American children. As a father and as a citizen of this community, I believe every child deserves the dignity of hope and the chance to build a better life, no matter the circumstances into which they are born. This effort represents a deeply personal and meaningful investment in the future of at-risk and vulnerable newborns in Kern County-children who might otherwise be overlooked-and it underscores ongoing mission to uplift families through opportunity, early financial empowerment, and brighter vision for tomorrow," said Anjay Anand, Founder & CEO of Anand Legacy Foundation.
"The Anand Legacy Foundation is dedicated to supporting the newborns of mothers enrolled in rehabilitation programs in Kern County, helping to strengthen their families by providing a head start on the American dream. We know that when a mother is working courageously to rebuild her life, lifting up her child at the same time can change the trajectory of an entire family. By planting the seed of an early investment that can blossom into a future of opportunity, resilience, and success, the Foundation is empowering families to break the cycle of hardship, restore hope, and build a brighter tomorrow for the next generation, added Michael Bowers, Director of Anand Legacy Foundation. -- February 4, 2026 Anand Legacy Foundation statement

Instead, today it rebuked a foundationalpillar of religious liberty: the separation of church and state. Chairman Patrick repeatedly calling the separation of church and state a 'lie' is an attack on our democracy. Church-state separation ensures we are all free to live as ourselves and believe as we choose, as long as we don't harm others. It allows us all to come together as equals to build a stronger democracy. It is an American original, something we should be proud of, fight for, and cherish.
"If this commission really cared about religious freedom, it would join Americans United in demanding a national recommitment to church-state separation as the best way to defend religious freedom for all."
