Since 2008 Medicare Improvement Fund is where Congress parks savings to offset cost of later Medicare & other health bills. This not only makes it harder to extend expiring health provisions but also is likely legally noncompliant as $ is to be used for Medicare improvements/provider pay increases

You can also reject the culture of compulsory confession that online culture has worsened. You don't have to publicly reveal past trauma or experiences to speak. Finally, take care of yourself if you're a survivor.

Dems worried last year that this delayed implementation of the deep Medicaid cuts in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' would defang their attacks on the campaign trail, leaving voters unmoved by the message that a health care apocalypse was just around the corner. But for many, it has already arrived.
politico.com
Republicans tried to punt health care cuts until after the midterms. It didn’t work.
While most GOP-enacted cuts to Medicaid and other safety net programs won’t happen until 2027, Democrats are speaking to the voters already feeling the squeeze.

Scoop: At a secret meeting this summer, an aide to Stephen Miller laid out Trump administration's plan to make it easier for states to round up and institutionalize mentally ill homeless people — by pushing a drastic policy change that would weaken the rights of millions of disabled Americans.

How Trump’s homelessness crackdown became a sweeping retreat from disability rights
After issuing a memo making it easier to institutionalize homeless people, the Justice Department began abandoning cases protecting disabled people’s right to live in the community.

One of the many lessons of the Trump era is that rapists are very well-organized and actively work to protect each other. Fraternities serve that function in the open, and so they must be destroyed if we are serious about accountability for rapists.

Of course Speaker Johnson is also falsely claiming that gutting #Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion/10 years - the largest cuts in history - making 7.5 million people unnsured and slashing total enrollment by 11 million (compared to what was previously projected) is somehow strengthening Medicaid.
