Trump was at the Capitol today, trying to button hole support for the disaterous budget. I've been writing about the Medicare aspect.
From Heather Cox Richardson last night : "...12 swing-state Republicans who don’t want drastic Medicaid cuts, and 31 hardliners who do. House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) can afford to lose only three Republican votes on the measure. Nicole Lafond of Talking Points Memo reported today that Trump will go to Capitol Hill tomorrow to talk Republicans into voting for the measure."
We need to encourage Don Bacon R. NE. and other Republicans who are standing up to Trump and MAGA Mike. He and Reps. David Valadao, R-Calif., Don Bacon, R-Neb., Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., Rob Bresnahan Jr., R-Pa., Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., Jen Kiggans, R-Va., Young Kim, R-Calif., Robert Wittman, R-Va., Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., and Jeff Hurd, R-Colo signed a letter:
“Many hospitals — particularly in rural and underserved areas — rely heavily on Medicaid funding, with some receiving over half their revenue from the program alone,” the representatives wrote. “Providers in these areas are especially at risk of closure, with many unable to recover. When hospitals close, it affects all constituents, regardless of healthcare coverage.”
Besides the Medicaid issue, Republican Reps have called out Trump/Musk on national security and tariffs.
On MSNBC Saturday, Velshi asked Bacon about tariffs. He said, in essence, any Reagan Republican would remove Trump tariff authority. To do that, they need all of the House Dems.
Plus Bacon said Trump has a "moral blindscape" re Ukraine. Retired General. Russia is not a superpower. Mexico with nuclear weapons.
Says anyone who served has to oppose Hegseth, SIGNAL.
Says we are better than any other country in agriculture. Says Trump has broken free trade. In essence, we are losing the trade war
The BIG SHOCK we got here in Baghdad By the Sea is the SCOTUS approval of eliminating temporary status for Venezuelans. They are saying that many will be tortured, murdered if they have to return.
We are represented by 3 Cuban American Republicans. Cubans will bear the same fate. Please object to the Cuban American National Foundation, 1820 Jefferson Pl NW. Washington, DC 20036. Dupont Circle, Downtown · (202) 530-1894, and to
When Trump and his bootlicking stooges are finally out of office, we will need something like the Nuremburg Trials here in the USA. There must be accountability. Well-publicized accountability – and severe penalties. So how would that work? Congressional hearings like Watergate?
