If Republicans cut $880 billion from Medicaid:
- Millions of children will lose their health care.
- Funding for community health centers will dry up.
- Your mom and dad may not be able to get the nursing home care they need.
That's what happens when Musk runs the government.

The thing about the Republicans and the oligarchs…they are willing to play the long game.
The abortion wedge issue started in the 70s. They worked for decades to capture SCOTUS. They worked years to get Citizens United across the finish line.
Meanwhile, Democrats work in two year cycles.
