I hope with all my heart that this Bill gets voted down! I cannot imagine the America that Trump is going to destroy if we can't find a way to stop him and get rid of him!

Remove him. Lock him up. He is a loathsome criminal.

Why isn’t DEMs running ads in all states every minute on the minute on every TV station?!! DEMs not doing enough!

Because they can't afford it. Only the republiCRAPS can--they're wealthy so they can afford to run pro-republiCRAP ads constantly. This who support Democrats just can't afford to contribute constantly. I don't doubt that many more would if they could. Just look at how the republiCRAPS have been with their wealth.

DEMs need to ask for donations! That’s how they will get the money! They should ask for donations just like they do during elections! Kamala Harris raised billions of dollars during 2024 campaign! I contribute to DEMs on a monthly basis! WTF! 🤬

This bill makes no logical sense unless your just a tyrant, have no empathy, don’t truly care about the American people or just want to make Donald Fucking trump (who is all of these things rolled into one) happy. How can anyone defend this bill when well over 70% of the population is against this?! I know these republicans want to appease trump but they’re only ruining their careers and proving that they don’t care what the people that voted them in want.

Don't worry. This too shall pass and the wealthy will be paying their fair share. Maybe not today but soon. Very soon. Republicans should be put on notice. We see you and we hear you. Enjoy your time in office. It will be short lived. We the people will not stand for such shenanigans.

This might get censored but I'm going to try, anyway. The religious right voted big time for republiCRAPS a few years ago ONLY because they were (are) so oppose to abortion--AND BIRTH CONTROL IN GENERAL. That's all they were focused on. Bet the majority of them are republiCRAPS--and mostly men, who don't think women are entitled to their privacy--and they feel it's their right to control them. Now in return--LOOK WHAT THEY GET (again, especially women)? They actually lose big time in medicaid because of this bill. Wait until the poor in THIS party face thew fact that they can't afford health care at all--or very little of it. Hopefully they'll think about it and vote the republiCRAPS out big time. Don't know if I'm making any sense here, but I tried.

You are making perfect sense! The RIGHT won’t understand it though because they are all stupid, greedy A$$HOLES!

Thank you, Cheryl. The right (republiCRAPS) is stupid because they always have scads of money so they don't know what it's like to not have enough. If ONLY that would happen to them for....say....at least a year. No, make that five.

Totally agree with you about that! I just don’t understand how greedy those people are, and I probably never will!

I don't, either. They have all the money in the world and are so incredibly selfish, mean, greedy, cruel--and all those other adjectives that go along with those four. Not just those republiCRAP senators and congress people, but the wealthy/rich/upper class. It's interesting that the middle class give the MOST money to those in need. They have so much less financially but always find ways to give.

For you litigators, is there a way, through the courts, for the American people to prosecute Trump, Vance and his entire cabinet on criminal charges? Please let me know and tell me how we can do that!

I totally agree. Many attorneys are trying, however. Look at all the lawsuits that Democrat attorneys HAVE been filing.

I will be there in line behind you to file any and every lawsuit we can against this entire administration!

Trump will self-destruct his party (Trumpicans), but this does not mean the party that will succeed will be the Democrats. Independents grow stronger than ever, which may lead to the rise of a true third party. Will Musk fund it? I doubt it, but from behind closed doors, he may push hard to contest Trump and MAGA right out of office.

Thanks for your optimism and your efforts. But, the Bill already passed both houses of Congress! It’s done!! The U.S. just went to hell in a hand basket!

The rePUKElicons are so disgusting. As usual, everything for the wealthy and HUGE CUTS for the middle and lower classes--especially the poor. The republiCRAPS think just because you need help you either DON'T WANT TO WORK or are just LAZY and want to sit a home and just get money. There are so many working poor--just because the wealthy CEO's refuse to pay them decent wages.

Please don’t forget that many states call Medicaid and SNAP by a different name. People have to find out what their state is calling a government program.

So, Trump is determined to bankrupt the U.S. the same way he has tanked his own businesses. Putin must be licking his chops over the numbskull in the White House. SHAME on the Republicans kowtowing to Trump!
