The right have launched an all-out attack on liberals and the left, in the wake of the Kirk killing, pushing narratives about left-wing violence and the need to investigate liberal nonprofits and Schumer and Jeffries are totally AWOL. The Dems are leaderless.
Shocking.

The United States Is About to Embark on a Terrifying Experiment in Mass Statelessness

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.
They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

The trump tax bill kicks 8.5 million Americans off of Medicaid to give a handout to the top 1% (3,.5 million). And it’s still increases the deficit by $1.5 trillion. Nothing else needs to be said.
