I'd like to believe this is true, but then I remember that 40% of the country thinks Trump is a messianic figure, loves Putin, and will probably be distracted from losing health benefits by the .001% chance a transgender woman walks into their bathroom or onto their daughter's soccer field.

They're not kicking anyone off medicaid/snap. They're getting rid of waist fraud and abuse. Saying able-bodied men should not qualify. Well, a man working at minimum wage $7.25 makes $15,080 a year. The poverty line is $15,650. Add a family, see the problem. Punishing the poor. Tax cuts for rich.

The Medicaid cuts won't happen for years, but the tax cuts will be almost immediate. Pain from cuts won't be felt right now. By the time they kick in, they will blame the Democrats. Not that they won't blame the Democrats for everything anyway.

Telling that they’re sending thousands to medical bankruptcy and death and these pious, reasonable allies are still only concerned with poll numbers

GOLLOSSAL STUPIDITY One of the three legs is just about sawn through : DOGE "fraud savings" Another is smelling real bad : tax cuts. The third has turned into #TACONOMICS How they ever thought that this would not impact their thin majorities is just plain hubris.
