Tokuda: When you take a look at where the need is, itβs across the countryβbut especially in red states and red districts, we see a disproportionately high percentage of folks who rely on SNAP to put food on the table, and who rely on Medicaid to make sure their families have access to healthcare.

Schneider: Many of the areas they represent have the highest need for support from Medicaid, and many families in those districts rely on SNAP.. But what weβre seeing is Republicans in Congress arenβt representing their districtsβtheyβre kowtowing to Trump.

Clarke: This is a fight over what is right and what is wrong. It is wrong to use this moment to drastically cut the services that the American people needβon top of tariffs, on top of gutting the federal workforceβwhile people are facing challenges, and then to dismantle healthcare as we know it.

Underwood: This represents the largest cut to healthcare in U.S. history. The largest cut to food assistance in U.S. history. Literally, they are stealing food out of the mouths of hungry kids to pay for a tax cut for billionaires. It is cruel. It is anti-American. And it is just plain wrong.

Takano: This bill will hurt veterans. 1.5 million veterans get their healthcare through Medicaid. They are slashing programs to try to pay for these tax cutsβexcept theyβre not actually paying for them. Itβs going to create additional deficits, which means all of the cuts are only a partial payment.

When you look at this text, it looks more like it was written by Chat GPT... "Write a whiny text on Easter that sounds like Trump." Trump does not use or pronounce big words. He did not write this on his own.

A Reagan-appointed judge just issued a scathing rebuke of the governmentβs actions in the Abrego Garcia case, warning of a constitutional crisis and executive overreach. This ruling is stunningβbecause it had to be.
