Medicaid 👏 doesn't 👏 pay 👏 insureds 👏 money 👏
It pays providers if it is used.
If young men are sitting at home playing video games, they are not likely getting sick and needing healthcare anyway.
These Republicans constantly lie about how things work.
Mike Johnson bemoans able-bodied men collecting healthcare benefits from the government while not working--exactly what Mike Johnson is currently doing.

When it comes to murdering fishermen on the high seas, Donald is lawless and careless, but when it comes to finding excuses not to feed Americans, he's a precise bureaucrat, obsessed with following the law.

It’s the “drain the pool” theory where they’d rather deprive everyone from receiving a benefit just to prevent certain groups from getting it. It’s also why they’ve attacked public schools. They want social hierarchy.

12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
This government shutdown is going to show folks where the rubber meets the road.
Republican-dominated states will not fund food assistance. Democratic-dominated states will.
We will all witness in real time what politicians think of their constituents.
Trump is met with utter silence from the troops in Japan as he lies that "grocery prices are way down"

Risk Assessment - War Against Fascism - Priorities
The top ranking, major priority of the next 15 months is to
Protect Elections/Counteract Voter Suppression/Ensure Accuracy of ballots versus any BS hijinx the regime tries.
40 million Americans may go hungry in November because their SNAP funding is at risk.
40 million people at a time when most are already struggling to put food on the table.
Trump just gave 40 billion to Argentina.
That could feed every American.
That could easily fund SNAP.
America first?

It's almost like he's trying to incite violence (again) so that he has a justification for the Insurrection Act.
No, I'm kidding. It's not "almost" like that, it's *exactly* that.
“Larry Ellison’s Oracle & Peter Thiel’s Palantir now form a single operational spine for digital governance and defence, from cloud infrastructure to predictive analytics. And Trump’s Gaza peace plan looks like the vehicle thru which that spine could extend into Gaza’s reconstruction.” 10/16/25 …1/

The Tony Blair Institute is heavily backed by Larry Ellison & was “involved in plans to create a new ‘Trump Riviera.’” That vision “envisages creating a ‘blockchain registry for land’ to underpin the construction of up to 8 ‘AI-powered, smart planned cities on the inner side of the Gaza Ring.“ …1/

Thank you to everyone at the #NO_KINGS rallies for making your voices heard & being part of history.
The massive crowds were joyful, passionate & spectacular!
So were the signs...
It’s not that the talks in Congress are “going nowhere” it’s that the Repubs refuse to talk.
Another example of bothesidesism.
Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

The immigrants? All I have left is crass humor. I love Americas immigrants. I have argued for yrs that immigrants need a clear and quick path to citizenship. Now that I understand that they pay into our social systems and don’t get to benefit from those systems. I understand why politicians don’t

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M
See the problem?
The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.
This is truly terrifying.
