Yes, the claim that Donald Trump might consider cutting Medicaid and food stamps aligns with policy proposals included in Project 2025,
which outlines plans for substantial changes to social programs. Project 2025 suggests implementing lifetime caps, stricter time limits, and block grants for Medicaid, potentially leading to significant reductions in coverage for vulnerable populations.

These measures are presented under the guise of promoting "self-sufficiency" but could result in millions losing access to essential healthcare and housing.

Similarly, the plan includes proposals to impose stricter work requirements and time limits on federal housing assistance, potentially exacerbating homelessness and instability for low-income families.
THEY ARE NOT PULLING THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES BY ANY MEANS... they told you, we all did.
These changes align with broader GOP priorities seen in the past, such as turning Medicaid into block grants during Trump's previous administration.

A trans person didn’t deny your health insurance claim, a giant corporation did.

An asylum seeker didn’t raise your rent, a billionaire’s private equity firm did.

Our focus must be taking on the billionaires & corporate greed.

From the NYT - Trump is really going to try and stop birthright citizenship, contradicting the plain text of the 14th Amendment very clearly.

Let's be clear, despite the big lies we've heard so far:
1. President Biden won the 2020 election.
2. Crime is down, and there is no migrant crime wave.
3. Only citizens vote in federal elections.
