Fact Check: The Bill does not give FOTUS the authority to delay or cxl elections

You’re assuming Trump obeys laws. He has shown repeatedly that he will break or ignore the law. He’s a convicted felon. I expect Democrats to be favored to win the House in 2026. I expect Trump to try to oppose that by preventing or invalidating elections or declaring a bogus emergency.

The megabill's war on the poor is built on a decades-old lie. Ronald Reagan's mythic "welfare queen" turned voters against social programs. #VoteHellNo http://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb…

So back in the 1980’s when Reagan shut down mental health care, remember the buses of homeless dumped in US Cities? This reduction in funding led to the closure of many state mental hospitals and the release of patients into communities with limited resources and support systems. It was overnight.💔

I literally argued with a with a staunch Reagan loving republican friend in 1995 who couldn't understand why Reagan wasn't a great president. Sure, he had moments, all politicians do, but he ruined the future of America.

Reagan hated the "proletariat’s" access to education and resented the “undesirables’” right to protest the establishment. An "educated proletariat" threatens @GOP.FREE friend link to "The Student Debt Crisis: Republican Class Warfare and Fear Politics."medium.com/armedwithrea…

Around $170 million in cuts were for studies of cancer, which remains the second leading cause of death in the United States, claiming more than 600,000 lives each year. Cuts in cancer research will cost lives by delaying the discovery of cures and better methods…www.nytimes.com/interactive/…

Over 60 percent of people on Medicaid who don't qualify via SSI/SSDI work full-time or part-time. Republican politicians never cite this number. http://www.politico.com/live-updates…

Low enrollment, high costs, a backlog of more than 5,000 applications: Georgia’s Medicaid work requirement program — the only one in the nation — offers a window into how the GOP’s nationwide proposal could impact your state 👇

#ResistanceUnitedDon’t fall for the straw man argument that the Big Ugly Bill will only throw people off Medicaid who don’t meet work requirements. Work requirements just mean more paperwork and confusion and more cost to the states. Repubs want to trip people up then blame them for falling.

Republicans want to add work requirements for Americans to get Medicaid. Is that a necessary step to fight "waste, fraud, and abuse" or a sneaky way of cutting the social safety net?

— NPR (@npr.org) 2025-06-26T12:28:13.632184Z

Yup. The entire point of “work reporting requirements” for Medicaid is to kick as many people off the program as possible without openly admitting that that’s the point.The process is deliberately as cumbersome as possible.

The law firm caved. The lawyers didn’t. “The agreement now is pushing more lawyers to leave…spurred by anger that the firm capitulated to Trump instead of fighting back against an administration campaign that many in the industry believe to be unconstitutional.”www.wsj.com/us-news/law/…

partisan sorting, especially once one side becomes authoritarian, is simply incompatible with a business model for news that pursues attention from as many people as possible to sell advertising. as i told Semafor, once you're writing stories "for everyone," you're writing stories for no one
