POCAN: You said the president supports the big bill passed out the House. You also said the president doesn't support cutting Medicare. VOUGHT: Correct POCAN: In the bill, there's a $500b cut that gets triggered to Medicare. You might want to take a look at that provision.

This would be a good time to slip anything you wanted into that bill because they'll sign off on it without reading it. How about Free Taco Fridays? 🐔🌮

the CBO report stated the budget bill will blow up the deficit triggering PAYGO to make an est $535 BILLION in mandatory cuts to MEDICARE. The GOP bill didn't include a waiver for PAYGO. Most seniors have no idea they made cuts to medicare.

He probably hasn’t read it either. I wonder if any of Trump’s bootlickers read it. I doubt it. This group are AFRAID OF DUMPY AND DO AS THEY ARE TOLD. USELESS

Do you think Vought would just as soon send half the 🇺🇸ppl to the gas chamber before giving them a nickel of billionaires’ money? Haven’t I already paid into Medicare over the past 58 years? I’m still working & paying into Medicare, so maybe vought will just give me my money back?

Pressure works- We only need to flip 3 R sens' vote for the sick budget bill. Phonebanking to call Dem voters in a vulnerable R's district & patch them through to thr rep, IS VERY EFFECTIVE. Targeted-only calling voters in districts w/ vulnerable Rs. www.mobilize.us/grassrootsde...

It seems like we've got a math lesson going on here! 🤔 2+2=5, huh? I'm no expert, but I think there might be a tiny mistake there. Can you explain your thought process behind that equation? 🤔

None of these yoyos even read the bill. Their king told them it's wonderful and that's all they needed. This is who is running the US right now and everyone should be pissed, not just Democrats and people who can think for themselves.

Democrats are still being far too polite. Publicly call Vought what he is - a liar and a criminal. Publicly call Trump what he is - a liar and a criminal.

.. They don't "Dislike" the 5 TRILLION in new tax breaks .. OR the Extending of the 2017 Tax Breaks ... For the Filthy Rich (Donor) Class ... It's the Social Security , Medicare , Food , FEMA , etc etc that they want "cut" ... Purely for the Cruelity of it ..

Vought desperately WANTS that Medicare cut to go through . . . AND the Medicaid cut as well. He wants to let the old and the unfit die. Clear out everyone who isn't young and healthy. GOD wants it that way! And Vought knows that because he's a Good Chrisssschun®.

Once again, Trump abandons his campaign promise that the “buck would stop” at his desk. Now, when questioned about ANYTHING, he ALWAYS passes the buck... “You’d have to ask my attorneys.” I’ll pass. Speak UP, TRUMP! Stop ignoring your responsibilities. 🤢 Pretend to be a human being. Try.

This was poorly done. Read the clause then get them to read the clause of the $500 billion cuts then ask them how Trump will feel when he hears that Medicare has been cut by $500 billion against his wishes?

As Christofascist Rethuglicans dismantle our democracy and destroy our society the best Democrats can do is make snarky comments as they are lied to day after day after day. I don’t understand why the neo-Nazis are given any respect.

This is hardly the verbiage fit to confront Russell Vought, who's master plan is effectively the "Fourth Reich". "You might want to look into..." wtf? Are you addressing Elmo? Vought is no joke, the democrats fundamentally are too cowardice to to confront him effectively

“Nonpartisan CBO says bill cuts $715 bil in healthcare spending, mostly from Medicaid, $300 bil from SNAP causing 2.7+ million American households to lose benefits. Massive debt increase in measure TRIGGERS 2010 law requiring offsets, will cut MEDICARE by $500 BILLION.” @pocan.house.gov IS CORRECT.

Dolla dolla dolla, I see a pretty lady in the back row. She just raised her hand ..how much for our country.. raise ‘em, I got you babe. Sit down back there, we want money from the pretty lady up there. the one with the fishy lips. Sold make your daddy. Write the check here. Or something like that

Russ Vought claims to be a religious man. But, he has no problem with lies, manipulation, immorality and destruction of our once great Nation. All to achieve his tainted worldview.

I’m sick of the sarcasm in their replies. Vought just said something diff to what Trump said so call him out on that. Instead it’s stupid burns like oooo I got you Annoying AF! They continue to lie and tell stories. They need to be directly questioned. Make them tell the truth or lie to Congress.

Finally. I thought they would never talk about this. The CBO report stated the budget bill will blow up the deficit triggering PAYGO to make an estimated $535 BILLION in mandatory cuts to MEDICARE. The GOP bill didn't include a waiver for PAYGO. Most seniors have no idea they made cuts to medicare.

The U.S. national debt took 221 years (from 1790 to 2011) to reach $12 trillion, but between 2020 and 2024, it surged by another $12 trillion, doubling in just 4 years, driven by massive spending during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war.
