🎧 Show Notes – Special Ed Rising; Purge 47 Edition

Host: Mark Ingrassia

Welcome to Special Ed Rising: Purge 47 Edition, where we take off the gloves and shine a light on the policies, politics, and people shaping the future of disability rights.

In today’s episode, Mark exposes the high-stakes crisis quietly unfolding in Congress — the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” in the U.S. House of Representatives, a dangerous piece of legislation that could gut Medicaid and leave millions of people with disabilities without the services they depend on.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

🔍 A breakdown of the bill and what it really means for the disability community

💰 The truth behind Medicaid funding and the devastating $698 billion in proposed cuts

⚠️ Why work requirements and frequent eligibility checks are harmful and discriminatory

💔 Who gets hurt most — and why this isn’t just a political issue, but a human one

📢 What you can do right now to stop this bill in its tracks

Mark makes it clear: this is not just about dollars. It’s about lives, dignity, and survival. But the bill isn't law yet — and there's still time to act.
