Fox News has been assuring its viewers that Trump et al aren't going to touch Medicaid other than rooting out fraud. But the CBO just found that covering Trump's tax cut for the rich will require massive rollbacks to Medicaid or Medicare. My latest at @mmfa.bsky.social

Really fresh paper - it’s incredible it feels like we’ve barely scratched the surface of the chronology of these monumental traditions to which some of Britain’s best known Neolithic sites belong. Phew, managed to write that without mentioning Stonehenge…

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

As a candidate, Trump promised to end surprise medical billing. Just weeks into his second term, DOGE has slashed the federal office charged with implementing a bipartisan law cracking down on surprise medical bills. Yet another Trump lie.

There’s a whole lot I don’t understand anymore. One thing is how two little words, separated by a slash, seems to really trigger some people. They get so angry, vindictive, violent because people just want to live their lives and be true to themselves. #MakeItMakeSense

Extending the Trump tax cuts for the next 10 years would add roughly $4 trillion to the deficit. Remember this the next time Republicans try paying for them with cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong. Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

Last night, President Trump called for an end to the CHIPS Act, which is helping the U.S. invest in manufacturing, technology, & good-paying jobs. This would be detrimental to our National Labs and bipartisan efforts to boost national security & innovation. I will fight to protect this legislation.

Trump has frozen funding for farmers, fired Forest Service employees who prevent wildfires, caused prices to increase, and pardoned January 6 violent convicted felons. The state of the union is CHAOS. Looking forward to hearing why Trump is increasing costs and causing this chaos...

The lies and delusion are hard to fathom. Trump's freeze on Americas possibility should not be celebrated. Shame on every Republican who arose tonight to celebrate the firing of dedicated public servants.
