Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

The thinner tree was cut down years ago, and the larger one has been supporting and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn. This natural phenomenon is known as inosculation.

“Balanced Budget” has always meant cuts to health care and food for low income folks and kids — this is what @MarshaBlackburn supports. Then they will turn around and pass TRILLIONS in tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. They don’t care about the debt.

Replacing the classy David Rubinstein with a suck up lapdog is never going to make a fatally insecure man what he will never be. Trump is certainly culturally relevant in this cheap & cheesy moment, but not in the ways that matter and endure when it comes to the arts. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/a...

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

It was always apparent but now it's increasingly undeniable that all these 20-something DOGE employees were chosen not in spite of inadequate vetting but because they would not pass vetting. Trump & Musk chose the people who seemed the most willing to commit illegal acts on their behalf.
