Back in February, when the Budget Committee first considered Republicans’ bad budget bill, I introduced a simple amendment to block the huge cuts to Medicaid in the legislation. Every single Republican voted NO. They knew exactly what they were doing — cutting Medicaid.

Many people have sent me links to this report today—but the first place I saw it was in a press release from @robsandia.bsky.social's campaign. We're in the 9th year of a GOP trifecta and the state's economic performance is terrible.

Crucial from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Republicans want fiscal crises because it enables cutting the safety net and turns voters against public investment. It's amazing that the role of GOP presidents in exploding deficits still isn't widely understood. Good column: newrepublic.com/article/1959...
