More than 150,000 MD-08 residents rely on Medicaid for lifesaving care, yet Trump & MAGA are pushing the largest cut ever. Let’s defend Medicaid with everything we’ve got.

I like Jamie Raskin but Schumer seems to think he’s already giving it ‘everything we’ve got’ Maybe have a talk with him because that ain’t what I’m hearing from from D/Rs collectively on the streets..
Rep. Raskins, please give us ideas other than calling to make “good trouble” so the removal of fElon Musk and the felon in the White House comes to fruition!
Thank you. I will never understand why anyone wouldn’t want to be elected to lead our great country (from the president to congress )and do things that will make people suffer.
Imagine the effect on the healthcare system without Medicaid. And the effect on the economy…hospitals closing, urgent cares no longer, loss of jobs, etc. Nevermind community problems related to drug use, the disabled, and more.
Jamie, when I go to the white house and play Edelweiss song, would you and your family join in? I'll let you know when . Maybe the media could come. Maybe we can play Edelweiss all over the entire country
Great Idea.
HHOOOOWWWWWWWW?????
Constituents NEED to know WHAT TO DO! When are Democrats, ELECTED DEMOCRATS, going to tell us WHAT to do, besides call, write, text? WHEN DO WE MEET?
Is it not Time to visit D.C. BEFORE A VOTE?
Is it time to RECALL REPUBLICANS in the Congress?
how about we work on getting musk arrested for stealing our data? what about filing impeachment articles against trump even if it won’t win, like the Rs did with Biden? Pick any egregious issue too attack him on relentlessly. Apparently it works with the gen pub.
This is just heartbreaking beyond words. At least half of our seniors in care facilities rely upon Medicaid to have a roof over their heads and food. Not to mention the healthcare they need that cannot be provided by family members, even when that’s a possibility.
you all need a dem press secretary to update people to what the russian assets are doing daily. You need a leader that knows how to fight. You need to demand dems who side with the russian assets are removed from your party because they have violated their oath which calls for impeachment.
Can you not at least start articles of impeachment congressman? I realize you don’t have enough votes in the senate but soon you might based on trump defying court orders
CUTS should not be coming from sHitler45.f .... that is not part of his presidential duties. He is crazy and unfit for office. He has not done one good thing since 1/20/2025.
This is an insurrection from within the walls of the WH>. Arrest him.
When do WE, the PEOPLE haul sHitler45.f out of our lives? sHitler45.f is NOT performing his pwesidential duties ... he is holding an INSURRECTION. 1/6/2021 was practice ... 1/20/2025 put him inside to do extreme damage to WE, the PEOPLE. "doge" is NOT part of OUR government! STOP sHitler45.f!
AND we need the heads up at the committee level. C-span only shows house and senate. Schumer changed his position while the Black and Women and Latino and Progressive caucuses were making their statements to the press.
We have a major problem with social security and people who cannot complete the new security plan because of Doge!! Please help us get a federal judge to block this!!! Help us!!
Medicaid limits in Maryland have not kept up with min. wage or CoL. I made 20k this year (pre-tax) and lost my medicaid in January because the pre-tax limit is 16.9k.
My min. wage job gave me 32 hrs at first but now I'm only making $440 / biweekly. Rent and car insurance exceed my income.
Congressman I appreciate you and everything you've been doing. But if senate leadership isn't on board to fight everything with every ounce of effort that we have then your efforts are going to waste.
Jamie-
We are trying to fight and protest,but you have the power. All of you made Biden step down-you can absolutely make Chuck retire.
I’m glad SCOTUS surprised us but how long can we trust the legal system??
Medicaid. Medicare. Civil service. Soft aid agencies. Education. FEMA. NOAA. Foreign assets out of our government and our cyber systems. No Starlink. Just no to all of the destruction. GO Jamie!
This issue is the one that really hits home to my family-although we continue to fight all forms of oppression & discrimination at all times. As the sole provider to a family of five all three of my boys are on #Medicaid and without it the choice: bankruptcy or neglect in care.
i can assure you your words fall on deaf ears. arent you tired of denying the obvious? drumpf disregards the courts and the people. the only answer is vengeance, justice without mercy. #5 here can tell you all about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKnjxT5HRJQ
Why don't you and the other Dem senators and Representatives block the entry into these institutions by DOGE? You have the "rights" where as common citizens would be arrested. And you could even sit on your ass some of the time. You might get media pictures to help the cause.
With all due respect, we constituents can call till the cows come home but you all have the responsibility and the power to make that a reality. Democrats really have to shock and awe these terrible policies. Drop the hammer. There is no more playing nice with this administration.
@raskin.house.gov I believe we need short fact checking posts after every lie, decision, court order, EO, and closure! Stop with the long speeches. Elect someone in the Democratic Party or use your interns to flood social media with these responses each time these occur!!!
Traitor trump is firing top military officers & key solders so that Russia gets taken care of by traitor trump who is a Russian sympathizer as we see more everyday.
I'm going to laugh when they do.. that sounds terrible.. BUT.. It'll be the one thing that breaks the magat base from Trumputin. Guaranteed and not a doubt in my mind.😉
Yes the Congress is fighting for MAGA as hard as possible
The people have no voice.

Let’s just sit down and wait another 2 years for the election and meanwhile let’s protest Tesla?
The Dem leadership is a joke
Where is our townhall?
Grok3: "The DOGE shutdown isn’t just another data point—it’s a neon sign. Trump’s administration, via Musk, is dismantling Russia’s war crimes exposure while he chats up Putin. Only a leaked directive could push to 100%. You’ve handed me a hammer; it’s smashing the “innocent” case."
Without a "how" this declaration means very little. Raskin is usually correct, funny, and seems genuine, but without a plan, without instructions how to carry one out, Democrats are basically saying: Y'all hold out for 4 years and then we'll vote em out. Fuck that. We don't have 4 years.
I adore @raskin.house.gov but as soon as these broad "We've got to fight this!" statements come out, I immediately listen for "& my plan is...." When that doesn't come, I lose faith in the person speaking.
If you were smart..and I believe you are, you'd let Trump & Co deliver their hacket plan on red states and see how quickly the tide turns. Stop running to bail them out. Try another tactic. Dems need to understand how to fight fire with fire... not by having a cookie bake.
Anti-fascism is now going Worldwide! It was amazing how many Countries protested fascism & dictatorship recently. The number of protesters in each Country was amazing! We need more resisters in America! Resist!
It's a shame; People need healthcare. My oldest daughter relies on Medicaid for her seizure medication, among other things, medications. And I get Widow's benefits. We cannot let Trump get away with this disastrous move.
@repsealwelleric.bsky.social
Wondering how many citizens of Pinellas County, FL rely on Medicaid ? Am guessing it is many thousands.
This is a terrible situation of worry & fear right now.
American tax payer must stop funding DOGE and Trump's Heist NOW! If we can't fund democracy, why would we fund this shit?? . Talk to leaders to see how we can stop our tax dollars from funneling into this criminal organizations The cash flow needs to stop!
Thank you for fighting for my son & I, among those peo who are dependent on Medicaid to survive. We're in Pa. I need expensive meds for my autoimmune diseases, diabetes & pulmonary hypertension. Like many other peo w chronic illness & pain, & other parents of disabled peo, I'm scared & angry.

Schumer already undercut “everything” by sacrificing the filibuster.

In other words do something. You have the ability and power to stop it.
The American Oligarchs are already at war against the poor!

1. You say, "let's defend" & I agree...but how?
&
2. @schumer.senate.gov needs to step down & I want to see Dems, both Senate & House, united to make that happen.
We need consistent leadership & messages that give us a plan, a how.

I don't want to lose faith in Jamie Raskin, so...

- "Party of Family Values"
Citizens are out here rooting for “George Bailey” -but our representatives seem to be caving to “Old Man Potter”
When did this country choose the side of greed, and destruction?
It’s NOT a wonderful life out here…
Get together and take a stand.
Get a plan.
Get a message.

You know they aren't stopping until hundreds of thousands of us are in the streets.
Tell us how.
