I don't care what state, party, or demographic you want to cite. Get rid of it before it bankrupts us.

You want to blow up 29% of our economy? Are you somehow immune to suffering?

Republicans hate our country and want to destroy it.

I’m really not clear about the long game here. What do they think they’ll be left with?

Unless the plan is to play in other people’s countries once they’ve ruined this one, or to stay secluded on their yachts, don’t they get that their expensive, exalted lives rest heavily on the backs of people whose names they don’t care to know? People who sacrificed the time and money it took to go to med school, people who pilot the helicopters, people who clean and caretake and keep things running; People who provide services that many of us want and most of us will need at some point — those people and those resources won’t be there anymore. The super wealthy will continue to have choices. The richest family in rural western wherever might not — hospitals are already starting to close, and the businesses that they support and the incomes that they provide will be toast. That means suffering for many of us, but it also means the crumbling of the infrastructures that support their/ our lives — from the essentials to some of the fun stuff. Some of the not wealthy MAGAs are already feeling the shocks.

It would be nice if enough of this clicks in time for them to call their Representatives NOW.

Go Rep. Jeffries! In the face of tyranny, I'll take the petty win of temporary obstruction.

A $50 bn bailout fund for rural hospitals is spitting in the wind in comparison to $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts. More hospitals will close. Collins is deeply concerned, I'm sure.

From the story: A clinic in southwest Nebraska announced Wednesday that it is closing due to financial challenges, including anticipated Medicaid cuts.

I don’t personally think a revote would change the outcome. MAGA is a cult.

Well, there are people who stayed home in November who would not stay home if they got a second chance.

Would still stay home. I'm just going to move off of this sinking ship. My party, the Democrats just suck.

At this point having seen what is happening and you still say that, you were closeted maga all along. Please, pack up and go.

I thought that was in the house version and removed from the final senate version?

Well that district is represented by a Republican congressman and two republican senators. It’s what they wanted for their constituents.

So literally moving to another country? Bully for you that you have that option.

Instead, Dems need to coalesce on a platform. Take a lesson from Mamdani’s success and pick 3 popular things and say it again, again, again. They can pick almost anything as long as they are specific and the benefit to the individual is clear. “Save democracy” “no kings” just doesn’t cut it.

What are the decent things?

He's calling out every single Republican who said they were "deeply concerned," reading all of their public letters about the need to protect Medicaid, protect the clean energy jobs in their district and so on that they are voting in this bill to cut.
