This week on LCDP's The Democratic Voice Podcast: Derrick Van Orden is Still Lying to You!

When someone asks Van Orden about Trump's bill, he sends out an FAQ with answers that aren't exactly truthful. So, we breakdown what's true and what's BS β€” which is most of it.

GOP Rep. Weirdly Lies About Helping His State Survive The Medicaid Cuts He Voted For Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) insists he helped get $1 billion for hospitals in his state hit by Trump’s tax bill. Except his governor and state legislature did that.

Van Orden is getting a lot of press for pretending to save a program he voted to gut.

Children will die because of this ruling. Why are conservatives fine with this? No one who supports banning gender-affirming care can claim to be pro-life.

The Terrifyingly fast (and false) Right Wing Webosphere... The swiftness at which the Conservative Webophere can disseminate false, but coordinated, information about news events is terrifying.

Actual facts take time and energy to reveal, and these conservative web pundits use the vacuum created to gather real information to sow falsehoods, confusion and discord. For these β€œreporters”, truth is something to be drowned out, not verified.

Derrick Van Orden was the Tie Break Vote on Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Derrick Van Orden wanted so desperately to give a huge tax handout to the ultra wealthy that he was the deciding vote for Trump's "big, beautiful bill."

Derrick Van Orden was the tie break vote on Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Derrick Van Orden was the deciding vote for a tax handout that will force $500 billion in funding cuts from Medicaid, a program that over 150,000 of his constituents rely on. On top of that, this tax break could add $2.3 trillion to the deficit.

150,000 of Derrick Van Orden’s constituents rely on Medicaid β€” he voted to threaten this vital program’s funding β€” all so he could give billionaires an even bigger tax break.
