Most of the people on Medicaid and SNAP who can work are *already* working.
Those who cannot — people who are sick, caregivers, and those with disabilities — will lose their health care because of Republican work requirements. www.rwjf.org/en/insights/...

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.
