Why should anyone expect Trump to follow the law?

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.

Reagan was a bad president

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…

Posts on EPA employees who oppose Trump policies

Roughly 140 EPA staffers who signed ‘dissent’ letter are put on leave

A group of EPA employees publish a declaration of dissent from the agency’s policies under the Trump administration, saying they “undermine the EPA mission of protecting human health and the environment.”

Trump’s cuts to cancer studies

As a two-time cancer survivor, I am appalled by this.

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/…

Medicaid work requirements are a bad idea

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 👇

— ProPublica (@propublica.org) 2025-06-28T03:15:13.628Z

#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.

— Shooti (@bambooshooti.bsky.social) 2025-06-28T22:41:10.380Z

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.

— Charles Gaba ✡️ (@charlesgaba.com) 2025-07-05T19:30:27.150Z

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Medicaid cuts would cause losses in income and taxes

This is in addition to all of the terrible medical consequences.

The income lost by businesses & individuals would lead to $12.2 billion in reduced state & local tax revenuesState GDPs will fall by $154.3 billionThe ripple effect of Medicaid cuts in communities where hospitals are major employers will be cataclysmicSources: Barron's & Commonwealth Fund2/2
