I'm trans and disabled. 
After Trump was inaugurated I had an appointment to get my social security re-evaluated, they asked me if I identified as a male which they had never asked before but I didn't think anything of it and answered honestly.... And on Valentine's Day my social security got cut off... I'm not saying it's because I'm trans but I wouldn't be surprised. I'm appealing it right now but i don't know what's going to happen to be honest. 
(Thankfully I'm in a blue state so I still have hope in some regards)

@baby.nay.

Disabled since age 26. Disabled people under 55 have medi-medi. It’s partial coverage from Medicare and Medi-cal (that’s just California’s name for Medicaid) it makes it even more confusing. I’ve had so many changes already , cost hike on every medication, and the most important one for my daily functioning (migraine med) got changed from 30 pills per month to 8 . I average 15 migraines a month I’m terrified of how my quality of life will change . It’s already hard enough living off of the benefit after paying most of it to rent.

Imagine regurgitating state department propaganda about who’s a terrorist and who’s not…..a department historically engaged in terrorism.

Mike Johnson just hit a "we take dignity in our work", giving "work will set you free vibes"

Elissa Slotkin sucks SO bad. I used to travel in local govt circles and she would regularly screw officials over, not respond to simple needs, etc. On top of that, I was a student at MSU (where the majority of her constituents come from) when the shooting happened in 2023, and her response to it was incredibly performative. Hosting talks pretending to listen to what traumatized students needed, but ending up doing absolutely nothing. And God, I’m so scared she will try to run for governor when Whitmer is up

@abxorb

Republicans: "we just want able-bodied people to work and not unrightfully receive Medicaid"
Workers: "okay, so will my minimum-wage job be able to afford my medical bills then, by paying me more or by making healthcare cheaper?"
Republicans: "lmao no, won't you think of those poor billionaire shareholders??"

@Whysoshort

Mike Johnson is so smarmy

@scottrobinson6682

I don't care for HER.  But the look she is giving him the whole time is priceless. She, and the rest of us, believe none of this.

@lunalightly

I’m one of Mark Alfords constituents in Missouri - they weren’t paid though one was from KC, which is 20 minutes away from the meeting Alford was having on a Monday morning at a coffee shop in Belton, a really out of the way spot for his constituents

Closing the tax gap, which is mostly tax evasion, would yield like $600 per year, 10 times better than cutting Medicaid spending over ten years. Actually collecting the taxes that Congress itself has determined are owed. We've been robbed of almost $8 trillion in taxes that haven't been paid since 2000. Plus a lot of that money is off shore chilling in accounts outside our jurisdiction - we need to send air craft carriers to these tax havens, not to places like Gaza, Yemen, and South China sea.

From there,temporarily sequester defense spending by half. Combined with the tax gap and the repatriated tax revenue, that all but eliminates the deficit rn. Now raise taxes to where they need to be in order to challenge the debt, because there's no other way to meaningfully do it (unless you really want to pause all government spending for about 2-3 years to speed this up and actually solve the problem). Raise taxes on corps by 4 times and top bracket taxes by 3 times - this will bring in about an extra $5-6 trillion per year, challenging the left over debt of about $30 trillion. So we could pay it down over 5 or 6 years from there. With steep cuts, we can cut that time in half. In 2-3 years, we could be debt free (would create approximately a -25% shrink in our economy over that time frame though).

But yeah, talking $600 billion over ten years, that's like 0.5% of the debt over that time frame or something. It doesn't address the problem of the debt while at the same time maximizing the problem of no health coverage for people that disproportionately need it more than people with money need lower taxes. They're basically talking about taxing life instead of money in a sense.

Elissa Slotkin is one of my senators, she was just elected to succeed Debbie Stabenow. I didn’t vote for her because I knew she would be exactly this. She’s also former CIA too.
