The House GOP budget resolution target of $880 billion in #Medicaid cuts is a floor not a ceiling. It is AT LEAST $880b in cuts. The Energy & Commerce Committee could report even deeper cuts and there would be pressures to do that because of the priority of making the tax cuts as large as possible.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Well, the horrors may persist, but so do we. But that doesn't mean we don't take a break every now and then. So, come take a breather with me in about 20 minutes on Twitch, where I'll be streaming more Dragon Age II!

That’s rich, coming from the guy who used his power as a federal judge to start making (at least) interns and clerks sign nondisclosure agreeements because he was afraid of being outed as a sexual harasser.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

Another mixture of incompetence and malice. Employee credit cards are easier to track than an endless stream of checks, and correspondingly they're cheaper because you need less admin work and employees spend less time in arduous request/reimbursement processes.

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

Ukraine can’t hold Elections while martial law is in effect so President Zelensky is legitimate. Senator Sheldon is right. Ukraine is a part of the felon’s pressure campaign to extort half a trillion in Ukrainian mineral rights to dole out to his cronies.

Importantly, a lot of "how much they can do" depends on how well we amass and/or protect Democratic power in swing-states. A WI Supreme Court race is coming up this Spring. VA Gubernatorial election in the Fall. Then, of course, the 2026 midterms.

"Last year the Supreme Court gutted the rulings that reined in Nixon, and now Trump and Elon Musk are running the government as if they are the only law in the land. They insist they are 'saving' the country by burning down its institutions, and they bogusly claim a mandate of the people to do it."

Murphy: "Hegseth got the job because he's the weekend news anchor on Fox, and Trump watches a lot of Fox and so he decided to make that guy the head of the DOD and our chief negotiator in Ukraine. Pete Hegseth is screwing it up badly, but of course he is ... all he knows how to do is read the news"
