I don't know what the political endgame is. If 8 or 12 or 20 House Republicans lose because of this, they lose control. Why don't Johnson and Trump seem to care about this?
They must for midterms. Marc Elias has talked about this, there's not enough time to impact all the individual house districts and states where elections are administered for 26. If they wanted to make those elections invalid they would have to be started a year ago. They're too incompetent.
They started in 2002 and 36 states have some type of voter id id. The Voters Rights Act has been just and the agencies that oversee that has been demolished. Add to that the MAGA SCOTUS who will rule in their favor.
True. I’m anxious to see an official vote showing how every legislator votes. Their constituents can then see proof they don’t care about their constituents. No more saying they won’t touch these programs and yet they happily put them on the chopping block. MAKE THEM OWN IT then vote them out!
Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid to fund tax breaks for corporations (and the Billionaires who own them). These cuts will increase the wealth of a few of our richest citizens and kill thousands of our poorest citizens. Trump’s criminal tax, tariff, and crypto schemes are destroying the USA.
I can't help but think of those in nursing homes who will be affected like my 91 year-old sister and her husband..Shame of the greedy #GOPCongress! 🤬 https://wapo.st/4dnBVgX
I was a "Long term care Non-Profit" Bd Member for 15yrs.
IF implemented, these cuts will sink these organizations. They are ALL on the edge.
Earlier death of the weak and vulnerable is the benefit cloaked in "cost effective efficiency".
Mass death is cheaper, saving $ for "More important things".
One day, Molly, you’ll tell a camera or a microphone the recent Americans have no idea how much Joe Biden got done for them is because there is no Fox News on the left
There’s only the 13th paragraph of a bowsights headline New York Times article every now and then
Because somehow I don’t have a mic shoved in front of me pretty much once a day from one of our news outlets
Not one person mentions the fact that the reason Democrats don’t get any message out about anything that they get done is that the whole country has Fox News playing in the background
They always just ring their hands and say I don’t know what’s wrong with the Democrats. They can’t get a message out.
And not once none of them ever say oh our media that gets our message has 1/100th of the power of the propaganda machine Republicans have built over four decades
Here is where there is an advantage to having a population educated beyond the average of 5th grade. Those with just a bit more education will understand how they are being taking for a ride, with not reaching their destination!
If he told his cultists to eat their own children, sales of ketchup would skyrocket. We are through the looking glass now. Multitudes of Trump voters survive on Medicare, and they will all blame Obama or “woke” when Trump destroys it. This is beyond Idiocracy. This is fucking insanity.
Is it though? The people being shipped off to gulags aren’t receiving healthcare and it doesn’t seem to bother them too much. Maybe they could start giving a shit about that. 🤷♀️
I am just hoping the old guard Democrats will concede to the new generation like David Hogg and move forward and be more aggressive! I am an old lady and I am damn pissed at the shitty Democratic messaging that I have seen since I started voting 42 years ago.
When I first saw the chyron that the R's had blocked the bill in committee, I thought, "Finally, some of them see what they're doing to themselves." Then I heard that it's because the bill isn't draconian enough. Apparently, they want a bigger shovel.
If only there were a way to help Republican voters understand that government services are funded by taxes and that, in most cases, these services aren’t available elsewhere. Privatization means paying directly for services—often at a higher cost than the taxes required to fund the same service.
More $ than DOGE claimed ($206 vs DOGE's $160 Billion) could be saved by providing ONE MORE Medicaid or Medicare service that would decrease levels of care & iatrogenic illness from medications or infections & decreased self care
I still want them to try their best to stop it from happening. That would be the best argument for a dem win in 2026 - be an effective opposition party first.
Normal Ppl: Work hard, pay bills and taxes, so you can live long and retire someday comfortably.
GOP: work harder and make us richer and if you die, eh.
Even some DENSE MAGA are starting to see Republicans don’t have their best interests at heart. This means more than you might think. 30% of MAGA are unreachable. The other 70% can be made to see the light, and possibly are part of the way there.
Idiots don’t realize that the healthier people are in our country no matter who they are or where they come from the healthier we all are the ones without Medicaid could spread disease rapidly throughout the country. Please vote accordingly in 2026.
The idiots who voted against their best interests won’t understand until any coverage they have is completely taken away from them, their Section 8 is gone and their EBT card is zilch.

They
The do nothing DEMs should have daily town halls in red districts and hammer the point home that the MAGAt base is being screwed.
I can dream, right?

Are they begging to be 86’d from office!?
The problem is they’re far too easily bamboozled by bullshit and will come out on the other side believing it’s anyone else’s fault except the GOP.
For now, anyway.

1. It’s real
2. Even if they don’t have relatives on Medicaid this WILL affect them.
The ER will become the de facto primary care for these ppl.
Our hospital costs will go up. Think insurance companies will absorb that cost?
There’s only the 13th paragraph of a bowsights headline New York Times article every now and then
Somehow, you always miss this
You’re welcome to go and try to do better

Nine times out of 10. I’ll bet you it’s on Fox or an affiliate.
This is something no left-wing media person will ever admit
Go to a Car Repair the waiting room TV. What do you think it’s gonna be on?
Don’t you think she should mention that when she complains about Democratic don’t have a message
In every public space
And Dem never admit they don’t get their message
out because there’s no/less than zero outlets for them
Nothing like fox
Molly should say this before she attacks the party messaging as usual
F off btw
We should be winning every election!
Are we sure we're going to have an election 🤔
So go ahead, GOP, support the gutting of healthcare for the American people!
We'll remind everyone when the campaigning starts to heat up!
We do far more harm than direct harm by stealing from the poor for the very rich.

Tell them to remove Trump by impeachment or treason charges.
Need help use 5calls.org
GOP: work harder and make us richer and if you die, eh.
While Chuck was planning his book tour on our dime, this bullshit is ongoing.
Maybe he could, idk, do the job we are paying him???
Instead of acting all surprised.
