House Republicans just passed Trump’s bill that could stripp Medicaid coverage from 8.7 million people and lead to 7.6 million more uninsured people over 10 years. I suspect many of those people who could lose their coverage are White and male supporters of the Republicans who passed the bill.

BREAKING: The GOP-led House just passed the Big Beautiful Bill in a 215-214 vote. It will defund Medicaid and Medicair while decreasing taxes mainly for the uber wealthy and corporations. It will also expand our deficit and increase our national debt by trillions of dollars.

I'm a Laker fan who had no love for Isaiah or the Pistons for years, but as a fan of the game it's easier for me to appreciate how dominant he and his squad were during that era. No squad can say they conquered the Bulls, Celts, and Lakers in that span. That Bad Boys 30for30 is one of my favorites.
