Why is there a fight at all about Medicaid? Americans pay the taxes that pay for these programs. WE WANT THEM. Who fucking cares if trump doesn't. WE DO. Politicians have lost their way about who pays their fucking paychecks. WE DO and we need to keep reminding them when they forget. 😠
Wife's a nurse and the insurance bullshit she sees on a daily basis is astounding. No. It's disgusting and shameful. People having procedures approved by doctors, but denied by some rando office worker is insane to me. If the doc says it's needed, then it's needed! Period! Insurance is a racket!!
"The GOP is looking to overhaul the program to help the panel reach its $880 billion savings goal" is that really what you should call this? Overhauling? The word overhaul suggests some constructive intent.
The irony of it all! "They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs, they're eating thefts"! "Children are pretending to be furry animals at schools and going to the bathroom in litter boxes"!
While what is really happening is Rs are planning on KILLING some of us so they can make rich people
even more wealthy! And don't forget that a lot of the people who are supporting the Trump administration are evangelicals. Supposedly, deeply religious people who don't seem to care a crap about women dying from a miscarriage, the elderly poor being starved, or families losing food assistance.
Those people aren’t actually religious, but they use it as both a shield and a cudgel to suppress anyone who doesn’t share their white nationalist worldview.
They hide behind their supposed faith, as do ALL religious fanatics, in an effort to wield power and control, since who can argue with God?
Note: if your backwoods red state doesn't recognize a miscarriage as being postpartum care, you're going to have to work for your Healthcare. Even if you can't work. Sorry, go find bootstraps.
I live in Indiana, where a woman must be dying to receive an abortion. AOC can tell those men anything she likes. None of them will be turned away from medical care because they aren't dying.
This is a poorly written article with an intentionally shit headline. @Politico.com consider this alternative: "Democratic lawmaker eviscerates GOP man-baby whose attempts to silence her fall flat."
This appears to be one more example of how some folks think they get to control women’s bodies. It’s incredibly disrespectful. I’m surprised they didn’t tell her to smile.
Why haven’t the Dems put forward an alt budget plan to counter the Repub plan to cut social/vet safety net, give tax cuts to wealthy, blowup deficit, etc,?
Use the alt plan to highlight onerous aspects of Rep plan and value of their own. Use it as common platform to campaign nationally and locally.
If you like AOC, maybe work on branding her as the rule rather than the exception. We have to be clear about our expectations for the party from within rather than distancing ourselves and expecting them to do what we want.
Agree, but we also can’t afford to not be critical of those who we support. The one thing that I hope that dems can achieve out of the 2024 loss is that the party elites like Schumer and Pelosi will get voted out. I saw some progress on that a few months ago with Dems protesting now not so much.
Honestly, we need to stop using big balls as a euphemism for bravery. It's completely misplaced. When people do something courageous, they're really just acting like a woman
Ya, I thought of that. I ultimately went with the expression "bigger balls" because it's meaning is so clear and concise that even someone on the right would get it.
Why should I or anybody else give a shit about the rancid opinions of the Energy and Commerce Committee? What exactly is their relevance on this subject? And furthermore, why should I or anybody else give a shit about male GOP opinions on the matter? GOP are the party of braindead toddlers.
How did I know EXACTLY what Randy Weber looked like before even looking him up? Dude looks like he thinks that miscarriages happen because a woman "wasn't pious enough" and shouldn't hold a seat higher than the assistant to the assistant mayor of his town.
We need to withhold our end of the social contract until our demands are met. We do that with a #generalstrike

She was also a campaign worker and highly active in her community. And given that she is literally a politician holding office, doesn't sound like she's doing much pretending. You should try out that whole "thinking before you speak" thing I mentioned before. Might do you some good.
What do you think constitutes someone being a politician? Working as a bartender isn’t an identity, it is a job that many people have worked for income at some point in their lives. She is an elected official, voted in by her constituents. Weird take.
Listening to GOP speak has been a headache, 8+ hours of them attempting to justify a poorly-written-vague-policy that effectively guts medical for millions. Mind you these politicians are paid from American tax dollars while many of which their districts are in majority, on Medicaid!
We need to get men out of politics. They are clearly to sensitive and fragile for these sorts of things. It’s not their fault it’s just they are biologically designed for less complicated types of jobs.
Honestly as a Cis man, I wouldn't complain if they did.
I've seen repeatedly how men in life and in public continue to make fools of themselves and drag down others by refusing to admit to themselves that others can be more competent than them
I'd welcome at least trying a majority female government
Women from 15 to 45.
247 Still Births recorded Each Month for the last 19 months. Since the Repeal of Roe V Wade.
When Women have the First Child. Men Will have the Second.
There Won't Be A Third.
It's backwards that the Continental United States of America/trumpieland is Going.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
Watched it, AOC was right and great, and those old males never cared to hear, listen, or learn about “female problems” but they want to be experts now?!! F them!!
Work requirements for Medicaid are simply a way to get people off the rolls.
It is more expensive to monitor people's work, find jobs for them, do job training, for the few who are eligible.
Actually that’s the wrong f headline because he apologized to AOC!!! It’s his comments over AIC facing Republicans rather than the camera that was the issue. Not miscarriages!!!!
Theyre prolly cynical/paranoid-delusional enough to think miscarriages are planned so that the women who do it should die, lets be real, thats exactly what those undiagnosed republicans are thinking.
No we do not believe in democracy. The constitution was written by white supremacist slave owners and satanic freemasons. Break the country up. Religion always comes before politics
You sat back and did nothing as the priests raped children and then shipped the molester priests to poor brown areas where they could rape children with no fight. Then the RCC spent $$$ changing the statute of limitations laws so they could not be punished. If you are Catholic, you’re a molester.
The only reason he did that was to buy votes. A man who has been several marriages and multiple children. Don’t forget raped other women. Sure he is an outstanding person to support religion! Just shows there is no god because he should have struck down by that god by now!
It's never about race and always about religion. The constitution was written by white supremacist slave owners and satanic freemasons. Unite church with state for Christians
Oh no you don't If you did you would never, ever support the seditious gop who are lying thieves + their boss who is a pedophile, rapist, + a thieving, lying traitor who respects no religion or person.
No one believes the squealing about Trump. If people believed he's a rapists or cared about criminal convictions he wouldn't be president. Half of America has a criminal record. No one cares. Jail is the best place to find Christ
Half of America does not have a felony record.
For someone professing to be a Christian you certainly do not seem concerned about *not bearing false witness.*
The MAGA agenda is the antithesis of the teachings of Christ.
MAGA or Christian, pick one or neither, but you can not be both!
As a footnote, I actually feel Rep Weber should be an earmarker to men in general on how to respond when fiercely and deservedly corrected. Even if a bit delayed. It takes so little to make right with someone
Hey REPUBLICAN women do NOT have a miscarriage... because if you are in Medicaid... the post-miscarriage care will NOT be covered according to REPUBLICANS!!!
Other than the fact that talking to GOP Committee members is a waste of time; they don't want AOC or other Democrats addressing Independants or the new group of FAFO MAGA victims crowd directly. They want to shield MAGAts from truths and facts. Fuck the RepubliCONs ..
Here is the awful answer ... miscarriages would be subject to work requirement exemptions under Medicaid ... IF .. the condition fell under the definition of postpartum coverage for a given state.
This is the issue I have with AOC….
Every time AOC is attacked by someone on the Republican side, somebody always comes to her defense.
If she was the strong woman she would defend herself or just realize this is politics.
AOC doesn’t need your support or anybody support. She didn’t get to her position in Congress by being nice.
Also, I’m not a Karen because I’m giving my opinion on somebody like AOC. This kind of talk is why Democrats lose and why nobody likes the progressives, and it needs to stop.
AOC is not your or her supporters girlfriend to hang out with on the weekends. She’s a politician.
The Democrats and Republicans are always shitting on each other in Congress. It’s part of the politics game. People don’t need to always come to her defense all the time.
are you just upset because nobody cares to defend you because you’re a cantankerous person? let people defend who they like. AOC didn’t ask to be defended. there are reasons to not like AOC, but being liked enough by her colleagues to be defended by them is not one.
She was told to “look where she was told to look” by a republican member of congress, while he’s making decisions about women having access to medical care after a miscarriage.
Had I been there I would have felt compelled to tell him to stay in his lane as well because he needs to learn manners.

Why is the US the only industrialized nation that doesn't provide it's citizens healthcare?
Why is it so expensive?
Insurance is a racket, and medicine shouldn't be for Profit.
I hesitate to use a term which implies they are anywhere near to being her intellectual equals.
Anyone know how to turn this damn spellcheck OFF?!?🤬
Maybe you should report on that politico instead of killing baby's

Remember Sarah Palin lying about Democrats pushing Grandma under the bus?
The Republicans are going to make Grandma with Alzheimer's homeless. Push her off the cliff.
Mainly MAGA states.
Dark blue = more than 25%
Nothing more needs to be said. Rock on AOC 🤙
Trump and his nonsense are no exception.
AOC remains a force that these fossils cannot handle.
Use the alt plan to highlight onerous aspects of Rep plan and value of their own. Use it as common platform to campaign nationally and locally.
Of course he also criticized the black guy in the tan suit 🙄

But she did admit to beingna democratic socialist
Right now, the democratic party is hurting badly due to my last few years of going all out on illegal immigration, abortion and woke lgbt stuff
Considering aoc might have to go to jail over physical threats
That's the way to put these addle-brained GOP thugs on notice.
Well done!

Randy Weber of Friendswood, Texas asked AOC(Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) to yield her time.
“I will not yield because it was a terribly disrespectful comment, and I will not yield to disrespectful men,” she said.
Every time AOC is attacked by someone on the Republican side, somebody always comes to her defense.
If she was the strong woman she would defend herself or just realize this is politics.
AOC been in Congress since 2018.
AOC- Grow up.🙄
