This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Either way, he lying about something
It still irks me they didn't vote you as committee lead.
Can you clone yourself, Jasmine , Bernie and Chris please?
White men cannot handle the pressure of their convoluted plans any longer.

That's part of what's so galling. Yes, billions of dollars of propaganda go a long way to explain it, but how evil and stupid do Americans have to be to fall for this dopes shtick? Again.
I wouldn't buy a hot tub or used car from that dope and think you must be an idiot if you would.
The media is-- of course-- a huge part of the problem. They love his click bait and Americans can't look away from the car wreck reality TV show.
My own mother is giddy with delight.
You need to understand that when a Obama became president, it affected her personally. She couldn't stand the thought of a black man being good enough to lead a nation.
She felt personally victimized.
A REAL news org would deliver the simple truth and only that, because nothing is more important to a democracy than a well-informed electorate, and the above FEARS that.
Keep adding to the list of reliable news sources: The Guardian , Reuters, The Tyee, The Tennessee Holler, who else?

They voted for hate.
Remind me when we learn about Nazism 🤨 don't bother because it's Middle school.
You don't get to be a victim when you willfully ignore the truth. We cannot continue to forgive fascism here. Nazis shouldn't get comfortable.
They can wear a new accessory and heil a new leader, but they're the same worthless cowards.
None of them were tricked.
They voted for hate.
Now they're finding out hate is expensive.
It's not mental illness.
It's stupidity and hate.
Easily spotted from a mile away.
They wanted to be conned.
The dems could cure cancer and solve world hunger and they'd still get shit on. There's no real way to re-bag the cats here.
Problem is, dem leadership is useless. They're a hindrance towards actually doing something.
It is not mental health.
Notice how she offers no solution?
She knows how to actually cut medicaid spending by half, but won't say or do anything. Neither side will.
This isn't about parties. This is about corruption to the core. Every politician is complicit.
Don't get caught up in us vs them
We NEED you. You KNOW it. Please keep fighting the good fight. Time for a new generation of new ideas and thinkers.

Good thing she was blocked from leadership to put Gerry Connolly in front of the cameras!
I swear I know the way there.
Like if it weren't Bernie how would you feel about that? And regardless you need to do some self reflection about your answer. I wish you luck with that
Bernie is uniquely unqualified when he doesn't have a party that he supports to provide an option to counter the republicans, and the democrats do.
Will I praise the bare minimum?
No.
It's just a fact.

You absolute. Fucking. Moron.
You're currently witnessing the status quo being destroyed, so don't cry, celebrating your rhetoric having achieved it's intended purpose.
And why isn't every dem flying for rallies? Because they vote
If he energized voters, how come those energized voters didnt energize themselves to come out and vote for him?
Where did they go?
You're stupid, and trying ro pretend you're smart by repeating dumb shit other people told you
Sway the minds of millions?
That's GREAT TO DO before the election. After the election it's just sort of empty.
I'm glad he's out there saying "this is bad" but we all already know this is bad.
Bernie would've beaten Trump in 2016, and we'd never have had this fascist nightmare.
Hillary lost because US is even more sexist than racist and because most Democrats are capitalists who offer little more to workers than Republicans.
Or you could continue to fight the only people fighting trump
Oh wait!!!
You decided to wait until you gave Trump COMPLETE power over the federal government to fight him, so now you think you're the only one fighting?go fuck yourself.
You want a fucking away for voting in nazis just to pretend to resist them? Gtfo
He went from claiming he could solve trade with tariffs to claiming its horrible to solve trade with tariffs. From claiming women's rights were just a distraction to blaming everyone else for women's rights being removed.
So maybe it's time for you to shut the fuck up.
It's like you got them from unreliable sources or something.

It's okay to admit that you're in a cult.
And that you obviously fucking suck at Google searches.
I'm not gonna rehash the an extremely tired discussion, but at some point the Dems should possibly think 'huh, maybe it's the people we're running' instead of ratfucking every Dem candidate who wasn't the Anointed One.
By letting women run?
If Bernie can only win if literally no one runs against him or says anything bad about him even once, then he's a fuckin loser.
It's such a pathetically weak claim you make always.
And it's literally YOU GUYS who said you wouldn't vote for anyone else, either Bernie or Trump, and Bernie didn't win his primary.
So your rhetoric is you saying "I refuse outright to learn any lesson when I can just elect fascists instead."
Maybe try running a full marathon instead of just quitting half way every fucking time.
Oh hey, the "we demand accountability for our elected officials" continue to demand that no one ELSE can call for accountability, and that said accountability can only be required of registered democrats.
No.
Go fuck yourself.
What you're too stupid and gullible to understand is that you're entire premise is that it's BAD that Clinton ran ads against other Republicans as well.
And you being a moron are mad at Clinton and not the republicans,always.
Because you fucking love covering for nazis.
By running ads pointing out how their claims represent the agenda of the republican party donors.
So you're saying we SHOULDNT be mad about republicans DOING it, just anyone who calls it out for what it is?
You ARENT mad about those republicans killing women, and removing civil rights
You're JUST mad that Clinton called them out.
Because you're a nazi too
So wait, you think it's BAD to correctly assert that the far fetched claims of "removing women's rights to their own bodies" actually represents the republican party as a platform? Because it does.
And you think it's BAD to ask that the media take their claims as seriously?
You moron.

They deliberately set it up this way.
a) everyone needs to know the GOP just endorsed $19 Trillion of new deficits
b) every single district should understand local $ cuts in Medicaid and SNAP.
Medicaid alone is more than $1,000 per recipient that’s gonna be pushed to counties and states.
Medicare will cut out tons of medical related Jobs in all fields, supplies, etc when the gov't contracts cancel. Hospitals etc
Food Stamps - all related services that support food stamps plus shop lifting will increase to feed kids
With the job cuts - homeless rate will sky rocket in 2-4 months depending on credit cards
CRUELTY IS THEIR OBJECTIVE.

Whores to Billionaires
but the “main problem”, 77 million mostly white
and Christian evangelical nationalists
& alt-right types,
“voters” from the rural red hinterland
are “responsible” for Trump’s deconstructing of the American way of life.
Also 77 million
Will own cuts to Medicaid & food stamps
It cuts MONEY, but not (as of yet) any particular thing.
The theory is that these numbers cannot be met without cutting things like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. They have not actually been cut.
"When we fight, we win!"
She seems to have given up after one narrow defeat on November 5th, 2024.
America made their choice. A horrible one but it was a choice.
All that will happen is media will drag her some more, far right and left people will be cruel and nasty towards her…
What’s the point?
Heck, the asshole did not after a failed coup. Harris is not up to even that?
There are enough people with second thoughts.
Stop looking backward and start looking forward.
Just more platitudes about “the soul of the will of the nation of the dream of the people” empty rhetoric that she was so fond of using during the campaign.
And people are still fooled by it
It’s infuriating.
4 weeks to destroy trust... at least 1 generation to rebuild.
And we will boil over.
Fighting for equality 🟰 fighting for decency.

Then lead us into battle, goddamnit.

Every Democrat voted against no tax on overtime
Every Democrat voted against a balanced budget
And 1 Republican joined them
We all know who (the guy that’s against term limits)
I hear that GOP congressman are terrified of Trump supporters. They have right to be they’re dangerous.
Could he let’s say, steal a sizeable amount of the gold out of Fort Knox and claim and investigation revealed a particular democrat took it?
What’s particularly concerning is they’ve got their sites set on the legal system because they know it’s the legal system
Especially if you’re privy to what’s going on in El Salvador

Where are these campaigns to put pressure on the GOP in their districts?
“WHOA, did you hear about this!? 😒😒 😒 No way!
💩 DOGE cuts 💩
It’s shocking, cutting (wait for it) Medicaid? or ___ , ___
I mean, I don’t remember anyone voting to bring parents home from nursing homes. Do you? What’s going ON?”
Fan the 🔥
It’s time for a $$$ and grassroots coordinated action
As AOC said we need constant pressure
ON THE GOP
this is a concrete way to do it.
The cuts aren't targeted toward and specific FWA issues.
It's just generic BS reasons to make their base get upset. These cuts end up hurting the American people.
People lose their jobs and costs raised
We believe it is time to contact each of the 217 members who voted in favor & demand they hand over their paychecks & we stop ALL of their benefits. That should give approx $36M to the cause
THANK YOU
