On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines.
I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.

The persistent claim is that there are so-called "able-bodied" people on Medicaid, and that this is a mistake (they “should never have been on the program”), or worse, “fraud”.

Medicaid debate: Focus on "able-bodied" Medicaid recipients is aimed at scaling back Obamacare
In the Medicaid debate now raging on Capitol Hill, there is a great deal of confusion about basic facts about the Medicaid population. Some of it stems from mischaracterization of those on Medicaid.

The headline is deeply misleading. You can’t suspend habeas corpus just “for migrants.” As we’ve seen, ICE will pick *anyone* up. If you have legal status but no right to habeas corpus, you’ll have no ability to challenge your detention or deportation. Suspension for some is suspension for all.
