The GOP budget cuts Medicare. Trump and the GOP treat the budget like a combination of talking point fodder and unconnected line items. It doesn’t work that way; laws impact each other, and everything is part of a bigger whole that they are destroying one piece at a time. thehill.com/homenews/hou... - ThreadSky

Will his big beautiful bill take effect right away, or will sections take years to become law. We had this jerk PM up here in Canada (Stephen Harper). He put an item into his budget that would not come into being for 5 years. Our PM Justin Trudeau removed it and saved me thousands.

I saw the writing on the wall the second Medicaid & SNAP came into the picture. The GOP & tRump have done nothing but lie in order to take money from the poorest 10% & give it to the wealthiest 10%. This is beyond wrong. It’s a damning view of the horrors to come. As a disabled woman, I’m terrified.

Exactly. We haven’t even begun to see the fallout from what they’ve already done—to science, to healthcare…That’s why we need good journalists and writers who can investigate, draw connections and help us see the big picture. But they’re under threat, too! It’s insane.

Well, I think that some of the crazy will continue to be corrected,

Noem et will be held accountable, and if Garcia's attorney has chutzpah , compensation is possible. -will loo BAD for T!!

Noem's et al qualified imm does not protect her from reckless negligence. I think we need to explore that.

Insanity

I think they’re doing this to kill-off parts of the population, children and seniors, like me. They want the masses to fill their money pot.
They’ll regret it because they too, will lose all the wonderful things in America, and then Trump will dump them like trash.

Nah, it's just because they are greedy, heartless, arseholes.

samiaalisalama.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, that’s another way to put it. 😂

debbie156.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes. Just like Nazis. Eliminate the weak.

samiaalisalama.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly.

cewsunrises.bsky.social•2 days ago

I have thought the same thing.

samiaalisalama.bsky.social•2 days ago

Of course. Think about it. I am a senior, and am on heart medication. If they take my Medicare away, or parts of it, I won’t have money for tests or doctors or medication.
THEN, they will take the rest of the SS which I would have received. Win-win for Republicans.

We are all just different sized pots of money to him.

samiaalisalama.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s an interesting way to look at it, and very true.

momazonrises.bsky.social•2 days ago

They want to rid the world of those of us who are sick.

samiaalisalama.bsky.social•2 days ago

Of course, and then keep whatever money we had coming to us.

momazonrises.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yep. They sure will

jaybird54.bsky.social•2 days ago

We are seniors, too, and my husband is diabetic and has heart disease and is on lots of meds. 🤬

samiaalisalama.bsky.social•2 days ago

And they don’t care because they have great healthcare. As long as lawmakers don’t have to suffer the consequences, personally, of their actions, there will always be inequity.

It's genocide pure and simple.

knitmyworld.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think about this as it relates to the economy. Every time I heard a portfolio manager explain a disaster they talked about an unforeseen confluence of events - how many bleepin' changes are we introducing at once right now!?

The whole point is to destroy our country. Just as Khrushchev said.

trarob1964.bsky.social•3 days ago

Add to this, in bills that are over a thousand pages long, there are always poisonous add-ons embedded. This BBB gives Trump and other government officials immunity from contempt of court rulings. Just another way to exert authoritarian rule.

The CON

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.”
