Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse Warns of GOP "Sneak Attack on Medicare"

Don't forget, this speech is entered into the Congressional Record. He's actually giving the GOP a way out of being voted out of office over this "sneak attack" by reminding of his new bill which would protect Medicare for GOP constituents.

excellent podcast, but I have yet to hear it anywhere else. It seems pay-go will also affect some things which Republicans support so maybe there might be some hope of some negotiations. I wish that we had the type of mainstream media which would be all over this.

besides whatever his digital team's video distribution on YouTube affords him.

These ongoing dark, stealth moves behind Koch/Musk oligarch networks of dark money run this show now. These privatizers are the predatory spreaders of corruption who suck the lifeblood out of the body politic and destroy democratic governance. Over the next three years, people in all states are going to have to fight for Democratic party members who fight.
