Don't buy into more GOP lies! They want the American people to believe they're cleaning up the system to make sure people who receive benefits actually *need* them. That's BS!
In reality, they're robbing the needy while "trying to finance tax cuts for people who are inheriting $22 million houses!"

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it.
If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why?
Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

Mike Johnson: "Medicaid is intended, remember, as a safety net for young pregnant mothers and the elderly and disabled and vulnerable populations, not for young able-bodied men without dependents. Those are the kinds of people we're taking off the program."

After an ICE raid in Waltham, MA, on May 4, a 12-year-old boy was left alone after agents arrested the adult with him.
A Neighborhood Watch volunteer told the child his rights & walked him home.
Agents refused to ID themselves, and one drove his car at City Councilor Colleen Bradley-MacArthur.
