Why is Waymo using standard vehicles with unused driver/ passenger seats, and the steering wheel turning? Why not redesign the vehicles to fit its new purpose?
Please explain to me how removing Medicare’s ability to negotiate lower drug prices and repealing the insulin cap and out of pocket limit for seniors saves the federal government money in the long run?
- Work requirements: Imposing work or volunteer hour requirements for Medicaid eligibility, which could lead to millions losing coverage.
- Restricting provider taxes: States use these taxes to fund Medicaid, and limiting them could force states to cut services.
The House Budget Committee has proposed a budget resolution that includes **$880 billion in cuts** to mandatory spending, with Medicaid being a primary target due to its size and cost. The Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees Medicaid, is instructed to find these savings
- Eliminating the enhanced matching rate for Medicaid expansion: This would reduce the federal contribution from 90% to the regular matching rate (around 57%), likely causing states to drop expansion coverage.
The right keeps calling us woke like it's some kind of slur - they don't know what it means (unless they're identifying as Nazis?).
The word means that we're alert to social injustices such as racism and discrimination, that we're cool with LGBTQ+ rights, and that we're aware of economic disparities between the super-rich and working class, and even further: that we're cool with equal rights for all people.
So when they use this as a slur against us (or anyone else) understand that they're against the things we have mentioned. They're pro racism and discrimination, they're not ok with the LGBTQ+ community, they're ok with the super-rich raping the working class, and they're not ok with equal rights.
They hide their racism, their Nazism behind using it as a slur - just like Elon. Don't fucking hide, just come out and say it - tell everyone you're a fucking Nazi instead of hiding behind using the word "woke" as a slur, stop being such cowards.
Instead of crying: don’t take my social security, Medicare, and Medicaid away!

We’re doing it wrong. If Trump can do the outrageous, so can we!!
