"Medicaid work requirements" are above water with the American electorate (net +18). Calling the same policy "Medicaid eligibility cuts" meaningfully decreases support (net -11). I do not understand the insistence on adopting the framing of those trying to destroy Medicaid
Bar chart of polling data from Data For Progress.
Title: Voters Support the Same Medicaid Rules When Called "Work Requirements" and Oppose Them When Called "Eligibility Cuts".
Description: Under new rules, some adults can get or keep Medicaid only if the state confirms that they meet work, school, or volunteer rules. [Split A n=613] Do you support or oppose these Medicaid work requirements? [Split B n=598] Do you support or oppose these Medicaid eligibility cuts?
[Split A] Medicaid work requirements — Support: 57%, Oppose: 39%
[Split B] Medicaid eligibility cuts — Support: 42%, Oppose: 55%

The first full moon of autumn brings a unique string of closely spaced moonrises that once helped farmers extend their harvest days.

And that is why they are dismantling the structures for DEI in the US, particularly in education systems. Because kids were learning ideas that made it harder to turn them into genocidal drones who would look on or actively participate.

Everything laid out in Project 2025 was talked about openly as far back as 2010, and amplified by big VCs as far back as 2014, but most big CEOs didn’t start to fall in line until 2017 or so. By 2020, they pushed out most execs who didn’t agree with (or at least silently accept) this thinking.
