The crowd covered the Idaho Capitol steps, filled the section of Jefferson Street in front of the building and stretched deep and wide throughout nearby Cecil D. Andrus Park as people chanted “No more kings” and “Love, not hate, makes Idaho great.”

🚨 CBO has found that the GOP megabill will trigger $500b in automatic cuts to Medicare due to "PAYGO" – a budget rule that requires any reduction in revenue (ie: tax cuts for the wealthy) be offset by cuts in other budget areas (ie: your health care).

Remember when Republicans said Trump’s Tax Scam wouldn’t touch Medicare?

They were lying.
Trump and GOP’s tax bill would force cuts to Medicare, CBO says
Some $500 billion in cuts to Medicare could be avoided if Congress instructs the White House budget office to disregard the reconciliation package’s debt impact.

And here they go…
Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

AOC: The bill bans 13.7 million Americans from buying their own insurance from the Affordable Care Act Exchange.

So after being kicked off #Medicaid, you then can't even buy your own health insurance.

Republican Budget Bill is being debated in Congress, Trump wants to sign on July 4

Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

The decision by these three Yale professors to move to Canada is both a warning and a call to action.
