Taking a swipe at the white gamer bros who support the Republican party is an interesting choice.

But, while we're here, Medicaid is intened for people who CAN'T AFFORD PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE. What you do, or don't do, SHOULDN'T MATTER when it comes to getting health care.

Mike Johnson says Medicaid is "intended for vulnerable populations, the elderly, disabled, and young pregnant women, and not young able-bodied men without dependents who are playing video games."

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Here’s a real life situation where the government shutdown is having an impact.

My in-laws live in Colorado which is being hit by flooding.

One had a heart attack and one has a kidney transplant.

And there are no resources to help get their meds.

This is what the GOVT website looks like now.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KEEP ELECTING PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE THAT ALL THE WEALTH IN THIS COUNTRY BELONGS TO THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY. THEY'RE VOTING AGAINST THEIR OWN BEST INTERESTS AND FOR THE INTERESTS OF PEOPE THAT COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THEM...

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 1d

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The irony is the 400 richest people 100 years ago were greatly contributing to community

Hospitals, libraries - etc

These people now are about building bunkers, funding corrupt politicians and underpaying everybody who works for them
