We’re not “losing” shit. We broke it intentionally. This wasn’t a solar flare that knocked out our satellites. This was us taking a machete to an advanced weather system because some dumbfucks thought it was going to own the libs rather drown their families
hi, quick question about your reporting process. why did you accept hacked private information from someone who is a well-known, public-facing eugenicist and not even disclose his identity to your readers?
6. By passing a bill that will kick his own voters off their health care and food assistance, raise their costs, and close the hospitals in their communities, Trump and the Republicans made a massive miscalculation.
The only question is whether we can make them pay for it.
5. No party has ever launched such a full frontal assualt on their own voters. If Dems can inform voters and establish credibility as a party that fights for working-class people, we can win back some of those working-class voters who fled the party in recent years
1. The GOP just passed the most unpopular piece of legislation in history. It could not only cost them the majority, but it might be a generational political error that could blow up the Trump coalition and reshape politics for the foreseeable future.
If you vote yes or no on a bill because of someone’s “performance” rather than on the basis of the text of the bill, the Constitution, and the people you represent, then you shouldn’t be in Congress.

Someone did "pretend" to care about Americans on Medicaid, but it wasn't @mattyglesias, who's absolutely right about this. It was you, JD. In 2017, you repeatedly said Medicaid cuts like these betray working class voters. Turns out it was all a scam.

@JDVance You are a fucking liar. Illegal immigrants don’t get either program. You are fucking poor Americans to give your masters a tax break. Remember when you were poor? Yeah you got rich off of lying about that too.
Howdy, JD Vance, lemme set this straight in a way you'd hear back in Appalachia. Y'all claim immigrants are bleedin' Medicaid dry, but that dog don't hunt. Undocumented folks can't get regular Medicaid—only emergency care, which ain't but a speck, 'bout 0.4% of the budget, or $3.8 billion outta $871.7 billion in '23. Even with a bump in emergency costs lately, it’s nowhere near bustin' Medicaid. Them claims sound more like hollerin' for votes than stickin' to the truth. Data’s clear: immigrants ain't the problem you’re spinnin’. Reckon you might wanna check them numbers 'fore talkin' big. https://t.co/BFoTHXdgYHowdy, JD Vance, lemme set this straight in a way you'd hear back in Appalachia.

Vance has become the modern-day George Wallace - a man who has no principles whatsoever, but has discovered that he can politically profit from bigotry. So he's rebuilt his entire public persona around being a bigot
The dishonesty is off the charts, but the dishonesty in this case is Vance's. The "millions of people" who are going to lose access to Medicaid are not illegal immigrants. They're American citizens who are currently on Medicaid and are going to be booted off because of "work requirements." Many of them will actually meet those requirements and still lose Medicaid because they can't navigate the red tape states will set up.
This is how the bill cuts Medicaid spending - by kicking Americans currently on Medicaid off it.
I mean it’s absurd. It’s like the idiot knights in the 14th century who made suicide charges into longbowmen because they found the idea of dismounting and picking up a bow feminine and unchivalrous. Congratulations, Republicans, you’re the exact same variety of moron
This is absurd. @nytpolitics needs to find a better way to convey to readers what it knows to be true: These "findings" are not actual "findings" in any sense that most people would understand the word. The casual reader comes away with zero sense of the bad faith at play here.
