Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

So crazy. We’ve shut down our govt to avoid giving *some* people *some* help with insurance coverage while bailing out a country where very citizen gets health care

Even if his symptoms *were* due to a drug overdose, he still needed care. People die from drug overdoses all the time. All the time.

He’s invited a foreign military to US soil- one that’s *not* beholden to the Constitution by oath.

Love that we’ll have a military on domestic soil that isn’t bound by oath to the Constitution

A military that’s not beholden by oath to the Constitution

Fair- but at least that was a post- World War II concession. There was some sort of rationale- in large part it was specifically to maintain control over a vanquished attacker. Which makes me question *why* he might bring in a foreign military. One that isn’t beholden by oath to the Constitution…

Me too.

Trump has begun dismissing federal workers, with furloughed staff at the Department of Health and Human Services now facing permanent layoffs. The cuts are hitting the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention especially hard.

All to avoid giving *some* people *some* help with their health insurance- while all other developed countries have universal healthcare. This must look insane to Canada, Japan, Italy…

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

They’re not given Tylenol you baboon. They’re given sugar water

What is it with these Heritage Foundation guys? Are they all the same person? White, bald, wire frame glasses…

This must look especially crazy from Canada, Germany, Japan…every other developed country that offered universal healthcare. That the US would shut down their govt rather than provide *some* healthcare assistance to a portion of their population.

What does the bag say? I can see “myopic”

This must look so crazy from Canada, Germany, Japan, etc. That the US would shut down their entire government to avoid giving a a portion of their population some *help* with health insurance while the rest of the developed world enjoys universal healthcare coverage.

A JAMA "Research Letter" published online October 9, 2025, shows a US map depicting 'Emergency Medicaid Spending for Undocumented Immigrants.' States are color-coded to show the percentage of spending, ranging from 1 to 2%.

Emergency Medicaid accounts for less than 1% of total #Medicaid spending, even in states with large undocumented populations.

Agreed. Also this. ⬇️

I’ve lived in developing countries. They were more civilized than this

It makes me wonder what the delay is for- it has to happen eventually. Is he holding out until after the election? Is there some other event we don’t know about?

Vampire blood/bites…

Werewolves are transformative

They did have a moving truck come in the next day and clean out all of the Chicago building. Which is odd, because they weren’t evicted and at least some of the residents should be coming back/will need their stuff?

They also shut down USAID, which used substantial volumes of US agricultural products for their food programs. Also didn’t send food to US food banks. It’s kind of like they WANT the farms to fail. Would def support JD’s investment in the app that buys up foreclosed farm property

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Staffing Slashed, Mortality Rises: The Private Equity Effect Authors of a new study found that patient outcomes suffered in the wake of private investor purchases of hospitals.

This is so very true.

Also- are they actually U-Haul vans? Not legal- U-HAUL vans aren’t set up for passenger transport. They are set up for transport of goods. Why is U-Haul allowing this? Where are the repercussions? ICE has more funding that the Marines but they’re transporting small children like cargo? So many WTFs
