Most people on Medicaid already have jobs, so this is about something else.

Sucks we don't have a press that will report that fact and then frame this story properly as real fucking ominous
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

It’s time to call every single member of the House and tell them to vote down the bill.

It still has to pass the House before it goes to Trump’s desk.

Elders I know have called and spilled their hearts out about what’s going to happen to them if it passes, and even R interns have cried.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey on Republican cuts to SNAP: “This is about feeding people. This is about making sure that they have enough food so that they don't go hungry, so that they don't get sick or sicker … so that they don't die.”

While America slept, Republicans voted to advance a bill that will cause the largest:

• loss of health insurance in history
• cut to food assistance in history
• hike in college costs in history
• spike in utility bills in history

All to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

Trump talked about Gaza being the toughest place to live, Hell on earth, full of death and looking like a building site.

While the mass murdering war criminal responsible and wanted for making Gaza those very things, sat next to him smiling.

We live in a world of monsters

Woke up this morning, thought to myself that I would post that Trump is definitely not going to wait 2 weeks to bomb Iran, then said oh whatever, I'll just post that tonight

Too late: he just took America to war

If you want to understand how I knew he was always going to take us to war, read this:
EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump Is Indisputably the Co-Author of the Israeli War Against Iran—and His Iran Plot is Easily the Most Significant Betrayal of His MAGA Voters Yet
One thing MAGAs agree on is that MAGAism opposes the US becoming involved in any new foreign wars. But the available evidence now confirms—beyond any doubt—that Trump planned the current war in Iran.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS.

How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share.

I’ve got a bill to get it done.
Social Security's insolvency date is now a year earlier. Here's how it could impact your benefits.
Social Security is dipping into its trust fund to pay current retirees, with spending outpacing its revenue from payroll taxes.

EXACTLY!
LA RESIDENT: “The cruelty is staggering. People are hiding in their homes from the federal government like Anne Frank.

If you’re a Christian and you’re still supporting this you’ve lost your mind. You’re not gonna get a job because of what they’re doing. Absolute brutality.”

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.
