This administration is horrible and the republicans will go down on the wrong side of history. What they are doing to the American people and the future of our country and children is despicable. In the meantime they are making deals and padding their own pocket books. Wake up America.

80% of those on medicaid are children, elderly, and BLIND people. Benefits based on age,(65+), or on a disability comprise 1 in 4 enrollees BUT those use more than half of Medicaid spending. 2/3 of adults ages 19-64 on Medicaid ARE working, others are care givers. WHO are the work requirements for?

You know they know so little about the American people. How many people on Medicaid does he know how many has he spoken to? These politicians literally make me sick.

I am too. I spend so much managing the conflict of angry public. Angry coworkers. Beyond and scary Angry farmers. Grown men crying on the phone. These rich are going to have some well armed country folk coming for thier stuff. It's not the city folk. Rural Rage going on.

Those "requirements" are essentially cuts. They are avoiding the term "cuts" at all costs, but they are cuts. Whatever they do, it will cut Medicaid and affect people. I hope this reconciliation implodes, but I am pessimistic that it wil.

I think we could "save money" by cutting Jeff Hurd, Mike Johnson, and other Rethuglikkklans off the government teet. I'm not worried about children on Medicaid cheating taxpayers 🤷‍♀️

You don't know me but I'm your brother, I was raised here in this living hell. You don't know my kind in your world, fairly soon, the time will tell. You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me. I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see… Takin' it to the streets

All so corps and billionaires can keep more money in their pockets. I don’t think the GOP appreciates how stretched thin most Americans are. The GOP and the French nobility might have alot in common soon.

I wish Yadira Caraveo had not moved hard right on immigration. She might not have lost her seat and we wouldn’t have a disgusting demagogue like Jeff Hurd proposing ideas that have proven not to work as a justification for slashing Medicaid subsidies. #copolitics

Medicaid won't make the difference, Wealthy Tax Cut proposed $4.5T, hhmmmm? The Elon/Doge savings are DOWN to $165B app. NOT Even $2T spending reduction offsets to materialize. Tax cuts just straight to debt, $4.5. Just like big Chunk of the $7,000,000,000,000 Trump added to the Debt Last Time.

Yet the budget for the military is unreasonably high. Here in my part of NC the military own 2 homes, rent one and all seem to own a newer black/huge pick-up truck. We need to stop the increase in military spending. Didn't Hedspeth say we are spending too much?

RFK Jr wants to make us sick. Mike Johnson wants to make us unable to afford medical care. Both were put in their positions of authority by The Republican Party. How is this not treason?

If they are going to cut funding from all programs then they need to give us our money back. Oh they can’t because they are giving it to rich people? If only we knew this before the election… 🧐
