U.S. Senator Ron Wyden said his office had confirmed that the portal doctors use to secure payments from Medicaid had been deactivated in all 50 states. Medicaid covers about 70 million people, is jointly funded by both the states and the federal government, and each state runs their own program.
So now CNN u r firing my favorite anchor, Jim Acosta. That just gives me another reason to NEVER watch your network again! Hoping @msnbc.com picks him up!
The memo excludes Medicare, but a lot of low income elderly are on Medicaid as well as Medicare, particularly those living in nursing homes. So their medical care under Medicare remains covered, but their housing in the nursing home would not be
Right. We'll see what happens. WH is now saying doesn't apply to Medicaid, but they don't seem to know what it applies to. Some states say they are locked out of online Medicaid. Maybe an injunction tonight???
Correction: Medicaid payments have already been confirmed disrupted, so we don’t need to hear what a paid propagandist working for a convicted rapist has to say about the situation. CNN surely regrets the error.
Maybe the most known due to the access those that work in these administration have to leak things. But they have all been corrupt. We just can have access now!
Good luck with finding any (now formerly) major network to do any coverage like that. They’ve all knelt down to Humpty Dumpty. Just remember what happened in that story! Bye, bye, CNN! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
The memo excludes "Medicare" and "Social Security Benefits" (in a footnote) but not "Medicaid." And, of course, they are so dumb, their own press secretary doesn't even know if Medicaid would be affected. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/01/27/us/omb-memo.html
Say goodbye to your last shred of journalistic credibility @cnn.com
By pushing out @jimacosta.bsky.social you’ve shown the world that not only are you bending the knee to a dictator but also turning your back on freedom of speech and truth. I will never like, repost or comment anything CNN again
Even if Medicaid isn't ultimately affected (which, I'd be shocked by), putting all of us in a constant state of tension and fear that the things we rely on MAY or MAY NOT be touched is so cruel and so indicative of what this administrations thinks of the people
Yes to what you’ve said. Intentional to keep people’s emotions in a constant state of anxiety which paralyzes them to do anything in opposition. Not me though!
It’s always intriguing to see how policy shifts can ripple through programs like Medicaid. Let’s hope any changes prioritize the health and well-being of those who rely on it. Transparency in these matters is crucial!
You maniacs, you blew it up! Aah damn you, damn you all to hell.
Bet you craven bastards, are glad to get this particular thorn out of your sides. Maybe you can promote Scott Jenning from his position of performative shit-stirrer to full-time trump fluffer now.
You have become a Republican party newsletter and are no longer considered as news to me, in my subscriptions or feeds. Have fun trying to get subscribers from the idiots who follow Fox or Elon.
The Republican cowards in the Senate will only be able to tolerate heat from the folks they and trump lied to about Project 25 and destroying the US and many of their lives in the process. See if they turn when they realise the huge lies. Shameful time.
I bid @cnn.com farewell since they chose to bow down to a two-bit tinpot dictator and his clapping seals in his party who lie like they breath.
CNN will reap the rewards of their massive mistake throwing @jimacosta.bsky.social one of the best journalists around who holds the powerful to account.

CNN & MSNBC keep moving further & further to the Right, & wonder why they keep losing viewers.
Newsflash: MAGA/Fox Zombies will NEVER watch your networks. You'd be better off going Full-Tilt "LEFT" since that's what MAGATs have called you for decades. https://crooksandliars.com/2025/01/jim-acosta-expected-leave-cnn-rather

If Americans stand for this and do nothing in response - a stern post on social media with "fuck" in it is not what I mean - then they have only themselves to blame when they lose everything.
You'll become just like the network posting this: an enabler
You know that even pushing away one of your most talented reporters and keeping a demented maga operative on prime time; even capitulating by sane washing the atrocities being committed right this moment; not even literally kissing the Cheeto stained behind of the tyrant, you’ll still be humiliated
Can we talk about the elephant in the room CNN? You choose to let Acosta go, but keep that Trump sycophant Jennings on? Disgusting!!! I'm 100% done with CNN!
You let Acosta go? Did not take long for you to cave and bend the knee. You gave up so quickly. You will be on the wrong side of history when future generations read about this time. We will get our country back. But you gave it up.
The WH press briefings were a joke under Trump before and now they have a new liar to continue the tradition. How about CNN send a reporter that can ask the hard questions? Oh wait, you just ousted him so you could comply in advance!
It's always a challenge when funding freezes pop up! Health care shouldn't be part of the political chess game. Let's hope for clarity and support for those who rely on Medicaid. The details will matter a lot in the coming days.
Letting @jimacosta.bsky.social leave is a disgrace, guess your getting in line with Musk, Bezos and the rest of the oligarchs? Fuck Trump, fuck fascism, fuck Nazis, Fuck Fox News, Fuck Newsmax and now fuck CNN
The act of a tyrant towards the people in America. We have three branches of government. No one group is involved in how we spend their taxpayer dollars. Trump doesn't ask, he takes and that what this is all about. He's rising himself up above the other two branches, and the law. It must stop here!

Bruh get new reporters.
We don't know what level of kowtowing to Trump's facism led to Jim's resignation.
But, we will join him in leaving CNN forever!!
Making Sean Spicer and Sarah Saunders look good in comparison.
