Rupar's post quotes Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, saying, "When an illegal alien goes to the emergency room, who's paying for it? The American taxpayer." The image shows a news broadcast from "The White House" at 1:35 PM ET, featuring Karoline Leavitt speaking at a podium with a cross necklace, an American flag, and text indicating breaking news about a Senate shutdown vote.
It should start smoking any second. Also, all patients regardless of immigration status are asked to pay for emergency medical services if they are able, Karoline.

Ian Ward; Also, these are contradictory thinkers, a lot of them you can't square Thiel and Yarvin's thought with the thought of someone like the Claremont Institute necessarily. There are real tensions here and those tensions exist within JD Vance's thinking. So I think you need to broaden your frame a little bit to understand the full complexity of Vance's thought. CHAKRABARTI: Gil, you want to respond to that? DURAN: I think there is a plan. It's called Project 2025. And that's where all of these things are now merging. A plan to completely seize control of government, to fire up to 500,000 government bureaucrats and make government as a right-wing tool. So there is actually a plan.
I was on NPR with that reporter last year and he tried to argue that the tech right and the Republican right were disjointed rather than organized, and didnโt have a policy plan. Played real defense for JD Vance! And I was like, what about Project 2025?

Itโs very simple: They control the government and if America unravels, theyโre going to get blamed.
