This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.
And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid.
This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid.
It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

Trump said in an interview with Elon Musk that he wouldn't touch Medicaid. Hours later he endorsed a GOP plan that could slash the program.
Donald Trump said he would "love and cherish" Medicaid. He's endorsed a House GOP proposal that would likely gut the program.

If they ever invent time travel, I think we need to pass a law requiring everyone to spend one full year in an era before vaccines and environmental regulations. You survive that year, you get to come back to the present, and you'll never vote against public health measures ever again.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Employment discrimination cases will be off the charts. We’ve seen this before. Many employers will interpret recent declarations incorrectly. State & federal protections still abound and can’t be undone like that. No matter where you are, I can either help you or find a lawyer who can. Just fyi.
