When Republicans threaten Medicaid, they are threatening the health care of 80 million Americans, including children, senior citizens, and people with disabilities. These proposals would be devastating for families in every corner of our country.

What is wrong with you voting for these nominees? You should be ashamed. What have you done for Colorado? I think it’s time for you & Hickenlooper to step aside & let someone with more courage take over. BYW tell Hickenlooper to join Bluesky.
@bennet.senate.gov please do everything you can to slow and stop them - filibuster, shutdowns, all of it. Tell us what you're doing, loudly. Acknowledge what limitations there are - it's not a secret but ya'll seem afraid to bring them up. Trust your voters that we have your back.
Then do something to actually fight for the people that voted for you. You are a representative of the people, not a puppet for billionaires. Do your job or step down.
In the meantime, Trump has spent $10.7 million in three weeks playing golf. Who paid for that? WE DID!!! So far there seems to be no Republican outrage about that for waste, fraud, and abuse. Perhaps you can point that out. 😡
Perhaps by the end of your time away, Senator, the president’s first impeachable offense will have occurred. The insanity of working with Putin must be stopped #MolesInAmerica #endputin @whitehouse.senate.gov @chrislhayes.bsky.social @maryltrump.bsky.social @mcuban.bsky.social
Let’s not wallow in the chaos that they want. #Krasnov is a traitor. #MentalHealthMatters @schumer.senate.gov @maddowblog.msnbc.com @fetterman.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov ~

Hey did you see the cool thing that Bernie sanders did? He traveled to red states and asked the tough questions. I am asking you to travel to Lauren Boebert district and hold a townhall. You’re there senator and you need to advocate for the state by talking directly to red areas
They're so stupid... How stupid are they?
They're making themselves redundant.
Tyrants don't need legislators.
Tyrants don't need judges.
The Tyrant determines the law. Well, only the Tyrant and a blond chick.
And then when the blond chick disagrees with the Tyrant?
No happy ending here.
REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS:
You are aware you will be hurting your constituents if you do this. You can't blame Democrats. This is your party, consciously deciding you want to hurt your base. Are you politically suicidal? I hope you are. Go ahead, do it.
Senator, when will there be a Colorado democratic delegation town hall? I need to hear from my state reps what is the fight back plan as the GOP is dismantling our institutions.
I am one of your constituents. My son is quadriplegic and requires around the clock care. He is currently on a Medicaid waiver. Under CDASS (Consumer Directed Attended Support Services), he is able to choose and pay caregivers. I am one of his paid caregivers. If Medicaid is cut, we will be homeless
He cannot be left alone for more than 20 minutes, so I cannot get a job outside of our home. No job I could get would pay for our living expenses and an outside caregiver. I would not be able to afford his medications or medical treatment. We don't have family or friends that could take us in.
We would like to know what you and other Democrats are planning to do to save Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Thousands of us rely on these programs, not because we are lazy. We have no other options. Please do not sell us out and surrender to the Republicans' agenda. We expect you to fight
Question? If DOGE is finding all this money why does the budget need to add to the deficit? Sure sounds shady to me. It would be great if all the dems would actually fight like Jasmine Crockett or AOC? Honestly it would be great to see a few fist fights to show you guys have passion.
Please stand your ground and fight back. People with disabilities desperately need services covered by Medicaid. Most Americans don't realize they are only a tragic car accident away from relying on Medicaid and disability benefits.
I want to know what you are DOING about this chaos. You are telling us what we already know. What will happen to all the people in nursing homes when Medicaid is cut. You democrats knew they were going for all this yet you all seem to be in defense mode rather than offense .
And cancer survivors like myself! I was booted off the ACA because I had no income while in active treatment & put on Medicaid. 6mths later & I’m still recovering from chemo’s destruction of my adrenal glands & stamina. No way I could do my previous job, no way I can work full time now

Shut it down
Make them go through reconciliation and fully own this disaster in the making!
Today's executive order
The President and the Attorney General (subject to the President’s supervision and control) will interpret the law for the executive branch, instead of having separate agencies adopt conflicting interpretations.

Children?
Grandparents?
Disabled?
What percentage of currently able bodied persons on Medicaid are already working?
How could this possibly be ok anyone’s agenda
Pass the "Stop the Steal" bill to prevent anyone from meddling with our payment systems and data
