"#Congress is considering substantial cuts to federal #Medicaid funding, and the implications for people living in #rural communities and small towns are significant.

"Trump quoted the #FAA’s now-deleted #diversity, #equity and #inclusion page in a press conference, stating the FAA had committed to hiring people with 'severe' #disabilities because they are the 'most under-represented segment' of the workforce, including those with 'missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis,' and 'epilepsy,' though he did not provide evidence anyone involved in the crash was #disabled." https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/01/30/trump-blames-dei-and-biden-after-fatal-dc-plane-crash-but-faas-diversity-hiring-policies-existed-for-years/ #USPol #DisabilityRights #HumanRights
