Jon "Bowzer" Bauman: It's not an exaggeration to say that people are going to die, a lot of people are going to die, if these hospitals close and if Medicaid is really cut. We're here today to plead with David Valadao to do the right thing. @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social.

The hospital I'm standing in front of, and hospitals all over America, are going to close because of the big ugly bill. David Valadao voted to cut Medicaid, but the bill is going back to the House. He has one last chance to do the right thing. HANDS OFF MEDICAID! - @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social

House Republicans passed the biggest health care cut in U.S. history. Senate Republicans’ response? Hold my beer. Now they’re pushing even deeper Medicaid cuts—knowing it’ll shut down rural hospitals, strip care from their own voters, and leave millions hanging.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Texans are protesting peacefully, and Greg Abbott has the National Guard on standby.  Because nothing scares him more than the people standing up and speaking out. Let me remind y’all: the right to peaceful protest is in the Constitution.

The Supreme Court decision allowing DOGE full, unfettered access to the public's most sensitive personal data is a loss for all of us. No one in history -- no commissioner, no president, no one -- has ever had the access that these DOGE minions have.

Cut Congresses lifetime pension, months of paid vacation leave, food assistance, staff, travel expenses, healthcare, gym membership, free pharmacy and barbershop services because just like us they’re going to die too and this will help balance the budget

House Republicans rushed through nearly $1 trillion in health care cuts to pay for tax handouts for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations. These cuts have nothing to do with so-called “waste, fraud, and abuse” or “efficiency”, but will raise costs for all of us!

"Nearly one-quarter of seniors live more than an hour away from their local Social Security field office." The Trump administration is reducing staff at those offices — while forcing seniors to visit more frequently for no good reason. A recipe for disaster.

If you commit Medicaid/Medicare fraud (even imaginary fraud), Republicans will try to punish you. Unless you do it on an HUGE scale, then they will reward you.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

Telling people ‘we’re all going to die’ in response to Medicaid cuts & then doing a video quoting Jesus is stunning. Jesus healed the sick. He didn’t cut their care.
