Heading to the bus stop this morning. No indication where the detour/alternate route is.
Neighbors rec’d notices about road closures due to construction, why not about extended sidewalk closures too?

Why not finish what was already closed so at least 1 NB bus stop could reopen? I guess that’s being too nice.
(Also there was ZERO info around here about this happening. This commuter is NOT HAPPY.)

Any shorter timeline must be approved by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. If there’s nothing to hide, why hide? DHS doesn’t make laws and it’s laughable they think they have that kind of power. These rules aren’t legally binding or enforceable. Congress needs to show up anyway.

Our system was built on one simple demand: no taxation without representation. One man doesn’t get to decide who gets funding and who doesn’t.

Blue states prop up the system and now they’re done being punished for it. The next question? Whether taxpayers in those states can also push back. We need clarity: can individuals withhold federal tax when the government fails to deliver on its end?

Red states are net recipients: Many red states receive more in federal aid than they contribute in taxes, essentially subsidized by blue states.

Blue states are net contributors: States like California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Illinois consistently send more in federal taxes than they get back in federal funding.

The strategy? If D.C. refuses to pay what it owes, states like Connecticut, Maryland, New York, and Wisconsin could withhold federal payments in return.

This bill isn’t about savings. It’s about stripping healthcare, ballooning the deficit, and blaming immigrants for it.

Undocumented immigrants aren’t eligible for Medicaid (except for emergencies). The bill punishes states that use their own funds to cover kids or pregnant women regardless of status. The real impact? 7.6 million people left uninsured.

Speaker Mike Johnson on CNN said, “We are not cutting Medicaid… 1.4 million illegal aliens are on Medicaid.” False.

Every independent analysis shows the opposite.
- CBO: Increases the deficit by $3.8 trillion
- CRFB: $3.1 trillion
- Penn Wharton: $2.8 trillion
- Tax Foundation (even factoring growth): $1.7 trillion

Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary said, “The bill carries out the largest deficit reduction in nearly 30 years.” False.

The House bill slashes $600 billion from Medicaid and kicks 10.3 million people off coverage. According to the Congressional Budget Office, most of the cuts have nothing to do with waste, fraud, or abuse.
