Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

Why does it take so damn long for #SCOTUS to rule the #Trump Tariffs illegal? There's a thing called the Constitution; a middle schooler could make the right ruling.

The richest people in the country aren’t stressing that their health care costs could double.

No, they’re getting tax breaks. Thanks to Trump, the super wealthy have never had it this good.

Working people are suffering from Trump’s higher costs.

#Trump will come to the rescue of Argentina (which has Universal Healthcare, even for non citizens), with a 40 Billion Rescue Package but won't do shit to protect US citizens Healthcare, and keep premiums low. What a #POS, #MAGA!!!

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Dumpster fire Donald #Trump screws over his own voters (re: farmers) while bailing out Argentina with a 40 Billion dollar bailout package. Meanwhile Argentina farmers take over the US China soy bean contract (12.8 Billion in 2024, USDA). Who the Hell voted for this, #MAGA Rubes!?

Argentina, a country with Universal Healthcare (even for non-citizens) just received a 40 Billion dollar bailout from US Taxpayers, who are suffering job losses, and loss of Healthcare for many. In what world does this make sense White Christian #MAGA idiots!? #Trump lies about everything!

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

If #Trump is killing people unprovoked in international waters off the coast of Venezuela, doesn't that make him a War Criminal? No Statute of Limitations for Mass Murder. #MAGA #SCOTUS can't protect him. Lock him up the next time Felon goes to Europe. International Criminal Court, #TheHague

40 Billion in bailout money for Argentina that will never be repaid, while US citizens see their Healthcare premiums double or lose it all together. Meanwhile, illegal #Trump Tariffs destroy US farmers International markets and leave them begging for govt. subsidies. #WTFU #MAGA, bc you did this!!!

De-fund #ICE the same way #Trump defunded USAID, and other US soft aid agencies. Trump ICE-Gestapo will kill innocent Americans.
