Again, my wife lost her excellent job at a nonprofit Seattle hospital because the trump administration simply stopped paying medicaid reimbursements at the beginning of the year, throwing it into complete financial turmoil the cuts are already here

Johnson: "Do not believe the lies the Democrat Party has said. We had their ads taken down. They were running ads around the country in swing districts trying to convince people Republicans are going to 'gut Medicaid.' It's just simply not true & that's why their ads & billboards had to come down"

Jeez. If there's anything we need fewer of, it's mental health workers 🙃 I fear the crisis (too many people in need and not receiving care) will be destabilizing for communities. The stress of empty shelves and unemployment is more than a lot of folks can take, on top of the unrelenting stress

She was fired a month ago now, but if I go check the new wires I'd be hard pressed to find any making it clear this happened or the damage is already happening it's going to be deadly for our already shitty, shaky healthcare and it's framed as some theoretical

My household, our finances, and our health insurance quality have already been immeasurably fucked by Trumpism 100 days in and we haven't even really truly felt the concussive tariff, public safety/regulatory/consumer protection policy impacts yet

Too bad he isn't afraid of going to hell for lying. He thinks because he is saved, everyone else can choke on it, and he will be first in line with Jesus. Good luck with that, buddy.

My wife is up at UW/Harborview and word came down last week about the pending cuts. She's going to lose FTE units, and might lose her position at the adult day health facility up in Everett, and we're hoping that it doesn't close completely.

I was supposed to start a job in January for a private sector company whose client was waiting for the federal grant disbursement. That money never came and the job fell through for me. I'm out months upon months of a good salary. I feel your household's pain 100%

they threatened the advertising companies and they folded like cheap cardboard because they're cowards and Trump has cowed a bunch of major law firms

they know they've eviscerated local news and most people aren't getting good information, so these denials work better than they should

I'm so sorry to hear about your wife! Words can not describe how awful this timeline is right now! I'm right there with you as my daughter just lost her job with AmeriCorps in Seattle with the DOGE/Trump cuts! 😠

I suspect the cuts are going to affect most families. Tariffs = long haul and local truckers are out of work, so are the stores they deliver to, the coffee shops they patronized. Ripple effects everywhere. MAGAts will sustain the fantasy, whatever right-wing talking points they're provided.

They all do. I heard a guy saying, "How can Christians do" ~~ all this ~~ The only true answer is they're not Christians. They lack all decency, kindness, mercy. They're sociopaths delighted they're getting away with it. They're not Jesus Christ Christians if the New Testament has any truth to it

Johnson would be the one with no credibility. They're still looking for that waste and fraud but I'm not hearing anything about it. Are they keeping it a secret and they're going to spring it on us later? Give us an update with a dollar amount. Just ballpark it if you don't have an exact number
