One of Sen. Ernst's constituents points out that people are going to die if Republicans' cuts to Medicaid go through. Ernst's response? "Well, we all are going to die." Republicans know exactly what they are doing—all so billionaires can get another tax cut.

I was told by a fellow veteran that worked in VA scheduling (now quit) about a joke told in the office by a DOGE employee. "These vets are never going to get better. They can afford a $2.50 "round", they should save us some money and use it. MAGA for $2.50!"... The mindset seems to be a feature.

I've met conservative Republicans who in rare moments of honesty admit they do not want to pay taxes for veterans benefits, even veterans who were disabled serving the country. That side of the GOP is depressing, scary, and they hide. Heritage Foundation and DOGE are simply social darwinist thugs.

As a people, we need to just start demanding. We get what they get. You get free health insurance. We get free health insurance. You get a pension plan, we get a pension plan no more insider trading for you, only mutual funds. They aren't supposed to get things we don't. And they are.

Tax cut is simple to write and understandable, but it does not in the least explain what the billionaires are going for. They want total control and total impunity to do whatever they want to whomever they want whenever they want. AKA Kings and Queens.

I remember seeing some commercials running her as a new politician some years back, where she said something about pig slaughtering. This statement sounds similar; something in her tone about killing pigs that struck me as a bit sadistic and I still remember the commercial from years ago.

If they ever talk about something and accuse their enemies of it, they're very likely to soon debut some kind of law that'll make legal what they're accusing others of wanting to do. We already know they want child brides...

Trump, ignoring courts' orders. MAGAs in congress are beginning to rebel. We warned you. He already has the majority in this country wanting to have him pant less upside-down dangling from a telephone wire. Now I think he believes Putin will save him. You can't have the world hate you. Nope.

Call the shameless, heartless, arrogant, irresponsible sycophant at 202 224-3254. Ask her why she refused to explain why the filthy rich 1% need yet ANOTHER tax welfare Christmas, at the expense of actual hard working, tax paying Americans, who just want health insurance, like SHE enjoys.

she is an empty vessel and the lack of compassion is right out there for everyone to see. Is this 1.4MM number that they keep repeating a valid value. Who has confirmed it? Regardless, it's a small amount compared to the money that wealthy people steal from us regularly.

Having an opinion that is not based on fact gleaned from research is just that . . . an opinion. She, like all other MAGAts, has never learned the real statistics on who receives Medicaid. That cavalier attitude is pervasive in the cult. It's inhumane, entitled, and infuriating.

"Senator Ernst, to dismiss the cries of the poor with “we all die” is not wisdom—it is cruelty. Yes, death comes to all, but indifference hastens it for the least among you. You were not sent to mock suffering, but to ease it. What you do for the sick, you do unto Me."

Where is the evidence that undocumented immigrants are receiving medicare health benefits? They claim it but they never show proof - you have to have valid SS# to get medicaid - undocumenteds don't have SS# - not valid ones anyway - it takes 5 min to validate a SS# - so this is just big lie -

It’s been brought up multiple times and disproven much akin to undocumented people voting. The issue is republicans known how their base works and that is once you say it, they take it at face value, no evidence and no explanation needed. The same people that call us sheep and tell us to “wake up”.

Some should die sooner, and they’re all part of the Republican Party. Fuck these evil people with a pitchfork. When will we finally do away with this bullshit?

out of touch with the realities facing many Americans in need of decent medical services without having to mortgage years of life and end up with personal bankruptcy due to medical debts!

I wish everyone would stop focusing on the tax cuts part of the bill- people already know that- and start educating people about the changes to the judiciary’s ability to enjoin people and their other proposals to give trump even more power and legal protection

Yes, we all are going to die, but poor people die early, lacking care, because of no help from the US President, his admin & Republicans, who are mostly rich, & receive funding from billionaires, & in return helping the rich richer, cutting tax for them, & cutting funding for the poor people!

hey, Mike, check out how many seats were vulnerable _before_ you passed the "bill" that guts Medicare, Medicaid, and promises the Executive unprecedented powers to defy the Judiciary 'think any of the constituents in the Republican House districts will find out what's in the "bill" and be upset?

2026 CPR House Race Ratings Apr 30, 2025 (note this analysis from before House passed the "bill") if you live in one of these Republican House districts (or ones that were R+15 or less) your House district can be flipped We The People deserve responsive government scroll down and find your post💙

each of us can help

Glenn Storm@glennstorm.bsky.social

every call, every loud town hall every protest, every supportive message helps 💙 call Republican Senators explain that We The People know what is in the "bill" and no Congressional career can survive crowning a king either a majority votes them out or 47 throws them out once he doesn't need them

47 needs Congress, until he doesn't

Glenn Storm@glennstorm.bsky.social

if the "bill" passes the Senate, imagine the President has a legal authority to: defy court orders make executive orders that cannot be challenged in court ignore whole sections of the U.S. Constitution authoritarians can then take that extra step to remove the legislature and judiciary altogether

the "bill" crowns a king

Glenn Storm@glennstorm.bsky.social

NO KINGS right? right. (not in U.S.) respectfully, if you're all in on the #NoKings protest planned in June (and yes, be all in on it in June) then, do one other thing RIGHT NOW Call Republican Senators _the "bill" crowns a king_ (side note: Trolls gonna troll & talk about it all) 💙 focus up

I have never understood why people would continue to vote for a party that has no interest in helping them.Just b/c your family "was always Republican" is not a decent excuse.

We are all going to die. And as a conservative I, along with my GOP colleagues, get to make the decision. We are a panel that decides who will die. A death panel, if you will.

What I’m loving is the fact that they are finally feeling safe enough in their MAGA bubble to say to quiet part out loud. It’s as if they don’t realize all such regimes come to an end and their words will come back to haunt them. I am anxiously awaiting the day this occurs.
