Y'know, I don't expect @jaketapper.bsky.social to know every detail of the bill or about Louisiana, but I do expect him to understand AND BRING UP the following points in response to Johnson's bullshit: 1/

MIKE JOHNSON: We are not cutting Medicaid in this package.
TAPPER: 1.4m people in Louisiana are on Medicaid. Is it your contention that if any of them lose benefits, it's bc they shouldn't have been receiving them?
J: Yeah. Every district in America has people who are on the program who shouldn't.

Those are lies.
Jake has been spending a lot of time up Biden's [bleep] investigating cancer.
Apparently, @cnn.com is paying Tapper millions of dollars each year to help Republicans mislead the American public.
Tapper is a disgrace.
Always has done!
He reserves his bulldog persona for Dems.
2. 92% of those enrolled in Med expansion are ALREADY either working, going to school, caretakers for sick relatives or are sick/injured themselves. 2/
...because kicking people off the program is literally the only way it "saves money." 3/

These changes almost never include funding for administating these programs.
According to the Louisiana Workforce Commission, there were only ~92,000 unemployed residents of Louisiana as of March 2025.
Again, there's ~780,000 on Medicaid via ACA expansion.

Louisiana expanded Medicaid under the ACA starting July 2016.
At the time Louisiana had ~132,000 unemployed residents.

Huh. Imagine that.
It’s not laziness—it’s unlivable wages, illness, caregiving, limited access to a decent education, and a broken healthcare system.
Fuck off, Tapper.
Tapper: "Why do you think your constituents are crooks? That seems problematic to me."
always good to read you. 🎇
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

@jaketapper.bsky.social could have done his homework here. Maybe he was too busy trashing Biden? And cultivating Republican friends?
So, they'll kill it by destroying Medicaid expansion, leaving millions with no health insurance.
And no, they DO NOT CARE. So what if people die? They were surplus. 😡
