Reading it also makes you realize why that bill was 900 pages of pure evil intent on doing harm to the vulnerable. I could paraphrase but the article has done that and it still took an hour to read. I can only imagine how easily that 900 pgs was blatantly ignored by congress. It's a gd horror show.

This article outlines the precision with which they thought about how to do the most damage and thoroughly break the system. I guarentee you'll get bored in 10 min, unless like me you deeply care about and/ or will be affected by this.

Medicaid and CHIP Cuts in the House-Passed Reconciliation Bill Explained Editor’s Note: CCF published a brief explaining the final bill that was signed into law on July 4, 2025. In the early morning of Thursday, May 22nd, on a 215-214 vote, House Republicans passe…

I spent an hour reading this last night at 1am. It's terrifying. Especially when you understand this is the extent with which Project 2025 SEEKS to create real harm to millions of people under the guise of kicking ineligible people off Medicaid. 🧵

NEW—Earlier this evening agents from ICE/other fed agencies were outside Rhode Island Ave metro in DC asking people exiting the station for their IDs, per someone who experienced it. When the person presented their Real ID license, an agent said that wasn't sufficient. Luckily they had secondary ID.

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!?

Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

FRIEND: "We're at risk of slipping into fascism."

ME: "Oh, honey . . . when they are arresting judges and mayors, we've already slipped."

I wish this a hole nothing but ill will

Except it's kinda happening over night

🚨URGENT—Despite the Supreme Court declaring that it would be illegal to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act without giving them a meaningful chance to seek judicial review, the Trump admin is reportedly about to send a group of Venezuelans detained in Texas to El Salvador in a matter of hours!

3.5% is only 11.5 million people. Isn't that the magic number? What do those 11.5 million need to be ready to do to overthrow this garbage? Because we're definitely past that number in terms of people being fed up.

If only. Half the country will scream something ridiculous and uneducated about the "dems" stealing power. They've done their homework and installed enough loyalists. We're cooked. But I like this take all the same.. a girl can dream..

And also you can't "deport" them to a concentration camp in El Salvador!

Thank you @jeffjarvis.bsky.social

He's such a joke

The plan from M*sk et al is to put academics and dissidents to work in the mines-- it's not hyperbole it's a refreshed vision of forced labor and indentured servitude in the name of techno fascism

I mean he does love the poorly educated.

She didn't speak to the base. She spoke to liberals and Republicans while ignoring the large body of actual leftists who would have voted her in. The complaint shouldn't be that she didn't attempt to cross the aisle.. it should be that the democrats and republicans are the same aisle.

This is so important and has been lost in most reporting. The House hasn’t cut $880 billion from Medicaid. Yet. Tonight they just moved the procedural ball forward. Now is the time to raise hell.
