The tragedy of Biden's presidency is that it proved no matter how many legislative wins you pile up, no matter how much bipartisanship you engage in, and no matter how good economic data looks, if you don't "play" the role like the media wants, you'll be deemed a failure
@RepGregStanton Corruption and abuse of power is tied with economy (get rid of tarrifs) and healcare/rx (rescind medicaid cuts) but also, allowing people and employers to buy into Medicsre would save 100s of billions of dollars to employers and individuals. Per year.
@RepGregStanton Thank you, Rep. Stanton. Please emphasize that the cuts mean that hospitals will lose funding and some may be forced to close. Kicking 14 million off their health care translates to less and worse health care for ALL of us.
@JakeSherman Please call it Trump's bill to take away from lower and middle classes to give tax breaks to the rich while raising the deficit by trillions of dollars. Using Trump's name for the bill, even sarcastically, has a positive effect when it is actually a devastating bill.
@neeratanden The messaging should be, "Republicans put out their plan to cut funding from hospitals, doctors and nursing homes. These cuts affect all of us."
@RepGregStanton@azhospitalassn The messaging should be: "Republicans want to cut funding to hospitals, doctors, and nursing home care and give that money to the rich." People don't understand how 'cuts to Medicaid' affect all of us.
@whstancil Why aren't all news outlets- every TV station, newspaper, radio, etc., nonstop talking about these massive firings and dismantling of our government?
@ANNELAMOTT@JeffreyToobin Toobin criticizes Biden for protecting his family from Trump who signaled he would weaponize the DOJ to go after Biden's family. With Trump as president, norms and rules are long gone and we're fools if we don't realize this fact and start acting accordingly.
@NMoonitz@adamjohnsonCHI Medicare has no way of making payments to overseas medical providers. If you get sick overseas, you have to pay out of your own pocket, then request reimbursement and provide proof of payment.
@hugolowell Why do the security personnel have to listen to Musk? How does he have authority? The DOGE people should be arrested for trespassing.Musk can keep bailing them out of jail. What am I missing?
@dunneteach Also call/write to Mike Johnson, Marco Rubio (to protect USAID and the starving children it feeds) and John Thune. If you live near your reps' offices, it makes a big difference to go in person. Encourage others to do the same.
@darbysaxbe Thank you for this important thread. My son is doing cardiac research as PhD stdt, identified a gene related to heart disease. It took him 1 year to write the grant and submitted it in Dec.
@ElieNYC@marcorandazza Someone born here can't apply for permanent residency for his/her parents until 18, so almost all go back to home country since the parents can't work here legally. The child can come back for college but has to pay out of state tuition because they never established residency.
@dunneteach I just looked up The Hunter by Tana French in Libby based on your recommendation and there's a 23 week wait even with 16 copies in use! 91 people waiting!
When the criminal trial actually began, reality hit home. Rather than dominate the proceedings or leverage his court appearance to appear in control and demonstrate no court could corral him, Trump day by day has become smaller, more decrepit and, frankly, somewhat pathetic.
