My daughter is waiting for a transplant. She’s on Medicaid & Snap. Her life depends on it. All disabled ppl’s lives are in danger w/o them. It’s been a very hard night.

I think they are doing two things. The first is falling for their own bullshit. Limbaugh and Bannon screamed it in their ears for decades and now it's "fact" to them. The second part is Trump wants to break everything so he van rebuild in his image. Gold plated everything.

reply

justchillng.bsky.social•25 days ago

Congress has already approved those funds. Trump is violating the law by withholding the distribution. Testing how far he can push the Congress around. Congress controls the money. It’s the law.

In the press briefing, she said she didn't know if Medicaid was affected and would get back to them. Social Security and Medicare are not affected.

sorry, I forgot it was medicare not medicaid.

actually makes sense he wouldn't include medicaid since he hates poor people.😭
