Summary
A growing Republican backlash, including hospitals and Steve Bannon, is challenging Trump’s proposed Medicaid cuts.
The GOP budget seeks at least $880 billion in reductions, risking healthcare access for millions. Bannon warned that many MAGA voters rely on Medicaid, while hospitals and moderate Republicans urged caution, fearing economic harm.
Speaker Mike Johnson supports work requirements but lacks enough fraud-related savings to meet budget goals.
Critics argue the cuts could gut essential services, contradicting Trump’s promise not to harm Medicaid recipients.
Bannon’s an actual supervillain because he’s not abjectly stupid like Trump.
I’d say the same for Vance after his comments on the legality of the Judiciary Branch checking the power of the Executive Branch. Of course he knows better. He graduated Yale Law, yet people seem to underestimate him. It’s a dangerous combination.
He’s adaptive, but not sure if he can lead, time will tell.
Their skills complement each other quite well. If evil has mind and heart, we got both in America right now.
Money part is covered too.
