But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it.

Far right extremists, inspired by Trump per Whitmer herself, tried to kidnap her. Trump himself later suggested it was a fake plot and mocked it. He called her ‘that woman in Michigan’ and led a crowd that chanted ‘lock her up.’
Today Whitmer hugged him on the tarmac.

I'm old enough to remember when pro-life GOPers would accuse working class women of having babies just to get government money. Anyone remember that, or am I nuts?

These guys are about to kick millions of people off their health insurance and they don't have the faintest idea of how these programs work, just throwing out numbers in an incoherent jumble. It's like a football coach saying "We've got a 10-yard redzone in our offside flea flicker so we'll be good"
House E&C Chair Brett Guthrie: “We have an expansion population that gets 90% federal money, and you have traditional [Medicaid], so a disabled child in Kentucky gets 72 cents when they go to the doctor. And we know that’s just unsustainable.”

In game theory, “strategic uncertainty” is not “a strategy of creating uncertainty”.
It is what one faces from interaction when there is no dominant strategy.
If you want to create uncertainty in others about what strategy you are going to pursue, that’s a “mixed strategy”

If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

Art of the deal!
TL;DR: The new U.S. tariff rate against our two largest trading partners is either 10%, 25% or 35%, and so far no one I've reached out to at the White House is able to tell me which.
So the White House says the 10% baseline tariff also applies to Canada & Mexico. It has not said whether that's the effective new rate itself; whether it adds to the 25% fentanyl tariff, making the new rate 35%; or whether it kicks in only if the fentanyl tariff falls away

Batshit is right
The ramifications of this decision are not just legal abstractions; they strike at the heart of American freedoms. If the court capitulates, it will have opened the floodgates to the gravest consequences imaginable under 47's regime, endangering the very foundation of democracy.
