basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

While closing social securities offices! Which is where disability determinations come from, if you have a couple years to wait for them to process your application.
Republicans keep saying the “genuinely disabled” don’t have to worry about losing Medicaid.
All disabilities are genuine.
You also need healthcare to get a diagnosis. To get the paperwork done. To “prove it”.
They’re ensuring people get trapped in red tape loopholes so they can’t get care.

It can take like four years or more to get a disability determination from social security and that whole time most people go without any income. But somehow people under 60 without a disability determination should prove they’re trying to work.

Unfortunately my republican rep is a coward but I called his DC office anyway and talked to a human being, shared my concerns for clients I have through work, HIS CONSTITUENTS, and stressed the importance of voting no on this bill. Maybe that was pointless but it’s important to DO IT ANYWAY.
There's still time to stop this dangerous bill.

I’m going to be very honest and clear.
I am fully preparing myself to die under this new American regime. That’s not to say that it’s the end of the world. It isn’t. But I am almost 50 years old. It will take so long to do anything with this mess that this is the new normal for *me*.

I appreciate Democrats specifically talking about the disabled as well as their caregivers. So many of the Medicaid-funded programs my agency provides are designed to not just support disabled individuals, but also to provide respite and/or reimbursement to caregivers.
Jeffries specifically calling out CA-22's nation-leading percentage of Medicaid recipients and David Valadao right now, sharing the story of an adult caregiver for a disabled child
Valadao votes yes.
As our own @ericmgarcia.bsky.social reminds us, *60%* of Valadao's constituents are on Medicaid.
Valadao, BTW, also voted for Trump's impeachment post January 6th.

I help people access these kinds of benefits at work. I’ve never met someone who doesn’t need Medicaid but is applying for it. The eligibility criteria are already fucking stringent. Fuck the billionaire class forever.

Spoke with someone who works with a public hospital system. His assessment of the effects of the GOP spending bill: “I think this is going to be a very apparent catastrophe, very quickly.”

I can have empathy for someone working in federal government watching narcissists in Congress cut benefits you were promised. But this specific lady voted for trump despite project 2025 being publicly available. She is a fool and so is everyone else like her.

She served the American people for 35 years. Now her retirement income is on the line
As part of Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill," the House voted to end a retirement supplement aimed at helping federal employees who retire before they're 62.

I also think it should be mentioned that bikes get urban planned onto sidewalks because the streets aren’t safe
What's funny about posts like this is that we have lots of data showing cars are responsible for like 98% of pedestrian deaths. So let's not "both sides" this, okay?
in Boston it's true of both cars and bikers.
and as a pedestrian I don't want to get hit by either, but so far that score is 4 to bikes and only 2 to cars. bikers here love running into my leashed dogs on the sidewalks.
