My disabled, special needs adult son who lives at home, relies on Medicaid. I had to quit my job years ago to be his only caregiver. This is going to be devastating to the most vulnerable among us.
I'm truly sorry if you've seen my plea before. I don't mean to be a broken record, but need everybody to understand who the victims are and to try put a human element on this issue
Millions are affected, not just my son. Think of all the families affected by job loss, healthcare loss, Benefits 😢
That’s what they want. You’re not a casualty of their program: you’re the target. We need to fight this administration with everything we’ve got while we can.
They lied about everything. MAGA idiots are beyond stupid!Trump is going to kill Americans and cause global chaos. America will be the biggest losers if the Dems don’t organize and stop this insanity.
How fucking stupid are US voters to have EVER believed these fascist condescending oligarchs weren't going after SS and M? Pretty fucking stupid, apparently. Ugh.
Rule #1: Trump lies
Rule #2: Trump acts only in the best interests of Trump (ie: tax cuts for the wealthy, not social security benefits)
Rule #3: Trump needs to feel like King, which means he will bully, exploit, & trample anyone & anything to feel superior
Rule #4: If in doubt, refer to Rule #1
Are you trying to terrify the seniors of this country? SS is half my income. We will be living on the streets. I guarantee you, if this comes to pass, you better find a place to hide.
tRump will be the first to flee to Russia, with all the sensitive government documents he illegally stole and then clawed back! Thank SCOTUS for that! I wonder how much he has blabbed to Putin?
I'm right there with you. I would be in a mess if they cut ss and Medicare but I feel for the elderly and disabled who's only means of survival is Medicaid. They will have no where to go.
Thanks MAGA! You were too full of hate to know you were being lied to - we weren’t but our benefits will be cut along with yours. I think every Senior who voted for Trump should automatically lose their full Social Security benefits along with all Medicare. Fuck those assholes!
Of course no one is surprised. But congres has to approve it and the senate won't because even those GOP are already backing off such a thing. Maybe bc most of them are old enough to need it.
Here is a guy who did the right thing for the 600 people in his firm who died in 9/11 who has now become a supporter of the most egregious cruelty ever visited upon the American people. What circuitry went awry in his moral compass?
Lutnick was chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald at the time (I think he still is.) He took care of the families of the people lost, for decades. Still does, probably. But for him to cast his lot with this miserably cruel fascist regime that is literally killing people around the world now, why?
I’ll keep banging the trash can lid: mental illness is getting worse. Long COVID, air pollution, water pollution, ground pollution. I would add brain eating worms to that, but tha would be laughable. Right?
Guy has no idea, but he's like a walking advertisemet for the value of a liberal arts education and what happens when you don't get one. You could be the most 'intelligent' person in the world, but if you don't understand history and how to think, you get this.
I don’t think it’s fair to accuse him of being an intelligent person. But I do agree about a liberal arts education. The analytical skills it teaches students are never acknowledged and they are SO critical in so many ways.
Where the “smartest guy in the room” idea came from, is beyond me. He is gaslighting Rogan.
Whoever they say they aren’t…they indeed are.
Whoever they say they are, they are not.
He has no idea how to function on a human level.

He has no business being commerce secretary. He’s a joke.
What the HELL?
They are sociopaths at best. More likely, they are psychopaths.

Wait until they bait and switch social security on ‘em.
But I suppose they can DOGE things - just stop payments and screw up the computer systems beyond repair.
The dullards believed Trump and voted for him.
SUCKERS@!@!
