To name some of the worst... ✖️Medicaid and SNAP have been cut to deliver $4.5 trillion in tax cuts primarily for billionaires and corporations. ✖️Michigan is set to lose $2-3 billion annually in federal Medicaid and SNAP funding.

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

Medicare costs money too, even if you’re employed. If you’re not employed you still get it but there are out of pocket costs. My 70yogf on Medicare/medicaid had to pay 3k for melanoma treatments. And she’s a single, “retired,” fitness instructor. Thank Bush for that bit of restructuring 😡

Earlier this summer, the Trump administration claimed that there were more than 15,000 noncitizens voting on Nevada’s voter rolls. Last month, that number shrank to 185. Now it’s zero—a perfect example of the administration’s frantic, fraught effort to find voter fraud that doesn’t exist.
