Musk/Trump's DOGE finds ZERO fraud, waste or abuse, just NEW WAYS to HARM Veterans!
DOGE is just another EMPTY promise from TWO of the world’s most practiced CONMEN.

''Honey, what's wrong? Oh my God! David, call 9-1-1!''
However, I do not agree with, and strongly oppose, the violence with which these operations are being carried out.
Humanity need not be sacrificed for money.
Buncha damn thugs!
*proving 'waste, fraud, abuse' unecessary; just intoning the words is sufficient.
On January 23, 2025, Representative McDowell introduced H.R.691, or "To designate the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia as the "Donald J. Trump International Airport."
Generally the Medicaid members/patients are not committing the fraud!
It’s usually the providers like Senator Rick Scott who defraud Medicare & Medicaid!
“None of Elon musks allegations of fraud have held up to scrutiny— they’ve cut cancer care for children. Why should the America people trust you aren’t being just as incompetent with these cuts”
They only respect power so,... give them some power to interrogate properly.
MAGA that!
Kill the Repug party
It’s amazing that the Senator had $1.7 billion dollars to pay the fine but that case was proven in court with damning evidence.
Where’s the damning evidence that DOGE can prove in a court of law?
Just. Show. Me. One!
He's an arrogant, contemptible MAGA. Make it hurt. Even if we make it so they can't answer the phone, that's a win.
I left a message. I'm so angry i used foul language. The coward in his office who didn't answer, called back about my language. Told him tough shit, you work for US.
40% of births are paid for by Medicaid.
Without that help these are home births with no medical coverage at all
What could possibly go wrong?
Medicaid helps in everyone’s family.
A major assist in a messed up industry.
GOP tax cuts will take healthcare away.
Billionaires over family? No fucking way!
Seems logical that they would think that the entire Medicaid budget falls into that category, right?
Why do we need to waste government money on these parasites when we can get a kickback from our billionaire donors!?!
Stupid is as stupid does, I guess!
This is just craziness 🤨
Nobody watching this is in the Top 1%
is it
Putin
Kim
?
Do tell Nazi dear

DON'T FALL FOR THEIR TRICKERY!
This is Trump stealing our nation.
He is systematically destroying democracy.
Please don't be distracted.
He simply has to be destroyed.
Hopefully in a strong legai proccess.
Or we may have to Jan6 his ass.
Maybe they should lead by example and reduce their own budget first. 🤔
Waste fraud and abuse, yes it should be looked at. But does that mean "cuts" ? They're not the same thing.
These two are not on the same page, but the Rep's not wrong.
Am I right?
No discussions.
No bipartisanship nonsense.
No compromise.
#VoteNO
A sort of "guillotining".
I'm down.
Let's do our current government, Americans.
This is the memo that Dems need to get. Take your "talking point" and collectively beat it to death.
I'm confident the Republicans vomit talking points instead of responding to questions.
Feels appropriate.
