2 Magat Senators Are Doing The Work For Democrats [View all]

Sens. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) both warned the House to lay off Medicaid, particularly two proposals: one that would "cut the federal government’s share of the costs in states that have expanded Medicaid," and the other that would "cap Medicaid expansion spending."

Both ideas amounted to “cutting benefits," "We don’t need to cut benefits. And it actually really infuriates me to hear people here talking about that, because it stresses people out. This is life and death for them."

We should be hearing this from Congressional Democrats in town halls.

Any Democrat who is following Schumer's strategy of letting Krasnov burn it all down is following a losing strategy.

880 billion dollar cuts to Medicaid to provide tax breaks for billionaires. That should be a hill to die on for Democrats.

All of the other cuts, like student loans just to try to offset a 4.7 trillion dollar tax cut for billionaires.

Speaker Johnson is working towards a July 4th House vote for the 4.7 trillion dollar tax break for billionaires. Plenty of time to fight it, I guess.

Go Bernie and AOC and a handful of others.

Go Indivisible, keep organizing those protests.
