Wow. 20+ DOGE staffers just resigned en masse, saying they refuse to use their expertise to βdismantle critical public services.β
βWe swore to serve the American people... However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.β
Medicaid covers nearly half of all children born in the country and around two-thirds of nursing home care for seniors.
The Republican Party is voting today on a budget framework with will gut Medicaid to finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.

The United States just voted against a United Nations resolution condemning Russia for invading Ukraine.
The US sided with Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and the Grand Ayatollah of Iran.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
