If Trump really wants to destroy Iran he should go be its president for a few months.

Vance says Minnesota’s Medicaid funds halted as part of Trump’s β€˜war on fraud’ Vice-president makes announcement with Mehmet Oz, who says other states will be next after Minnesota

Let’s be clear: the Trump administration isn’t β€œpausing” funds to fight fraud. They’re weaponizing Medicaid to punish a state that rejects their extremism. They’d rather see a child lose coverage than see a Democratic governor succeed.

So they’re going to cripple healthcare for the poor in Minnesota to make an example of the state. The warning is β€œdon’t resist.”

@amyklobuchar.com are you trying to do something about this? Will 100% matter for your campaign

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

This is what Trump’s retribution means for Minnesota - if you think this isn’t you next I don’t even know.

It's felt for months now that the fed govt is doing everything it can, including acts of violence, to make the Twin Cities unlivable. Vance's announcement shows that effort continues even if Trump's thugs aren't killing people in the street rn. I just don't see how this can go on for 3 more years.

Ilhan Omar’s State of the Union guest arrested by U.S. Capitol Police during Trump’s speech Minneapolis resident Aliya Rahman was removed from the House chamber after she stood up silently during a portion of the address.

This is a horrific multiplication of the abuse Aliya Rahman suffered at the hands of Trump's Goon Squad in Minneapolis.

At the Winter Olympics, American female athletes won 61% of the total medals (20 out of 33) and 67% of the gold medals (8 out of 12) awarded to the US - the third time IN A ROW American women outperformed American men at the Winter Games. And they’ve never embarrassed the nation while doing it.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Tangerine felon's response to the SCOTUS tarrifs decision gives strong Andrew Jackson "John Marshall has made his decision, let him enforce it" vibes (about the illegality of Indian Removal for those keeping score at home).

A tariff β€œrefund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

The ICE surge in Minnesota isn’t over β€” it just moved outside of the Metro.

ICE agents are still terrorizing innocent people in the suburbs. They’re targeting bus stops and hospitals and parks and being more deceptive than ever.

This isn’t over until ICE is out of the ENTIRE state.

Essential reading. No one will believe us when the people on the ground say it is a civil war, so hell yeah get the real war correspondents in, it is a civil war against blue states.
