@CongMikeSimpson@POTUS I am old enough to remember when you were a moderate Republican looking out for the interests of southern Idaho farmers. What happened to transform you into a propaganda-spewing MAGA lunatic, bent on ruining the lives of low- and middle-income Idahoans?
@RepTroyDowning You’re lying again.
The Democratic plan keeps rural low-income Americans on Medicaid, so they can get treatment at rural clinics and hospitals.
The Republican plan throws them off Medicaid but sets aside a little money to bail out some of the nearly empty hospitals.
@SteveDaines The only bid for Eastern MT coal submitted by yesterday’s deadline in a federal sale offered to pay 0.11�� per ton.
Mining coal is dangerous, dirty work. It is an obsolete, dirty fuel, and it will have no value in 5 years, no matter what legislation you pass or what Trump does.
@CongMikeSimpson Nonsense. Republicans shut down the government by refusing to negotiate with Democrats over preserving Medicaid benefits and keeping premiums down in the ACA marketplace.
Republicans have consistently soaked the poor and middle class to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
@TimSheehyMT@realDonaldTrump The Republican bill to keep the government open, while slashing health care funding and raising premiums for most Americans, got only 44 votes in the Senate. You Republicans can't even pass it by yourselves.
@SteveDaines PBS, NPR, and emergency food aid are much better uses of my tax dollars than hiring thousands more ICE agents and building giant immigrant detention camps.
@RyanZinke If it’s worth bombing Iran to destroy their nuclear program, it’s worth accepting the (likely) reality that the strike didn't damage their nuclear facilities or enriched uranium nearly as badly as the idiots, Trump and Hegseth, claim.
@TimSheehyMT@realDonaldTrump So much more. It kicks millions of poor working people off of Medicaid. It starves hundreds of thousands of kids by kicking them off of SNAP. It increases the ICE budget by a factor of 9, which means more brutal, senseless arrests of people of color. And it sells off public land.
@RepTroyDowning The capital of polluting Montana’s air and gouging Montana’s land to sell most of the electricity to other states and pad NorthWestern Energy’s profits, maybe.
@CongMikeSimpson@GovernorLittle You want to reinforce Trump’s immigration policies? WHY? He has masked, plainclothes feds grabbing people off the street under the most picayune of pretexts. He shut down asylum processing for people of color while flying in white South Africans. The policy is ethnic cleansing.
