If you knew you could pay 100% of your bills for the next 10 years and then still have enough to pay 80% of your bills *forever* at current revenue rates -- would you call yourself bankrupt?

Hell no.

Project2025? May as well be Project1975. Republicans never gave up on destroying the American Dream

This morning I'm popping this on for the first time. Owned it for months and haven't felt like the right time ever.

Feels like the right energy coming into October.

This is from my conversation with @hartmannreport.com yesterday on the Blue Ridge Breakdown.

The clip begins with a joke about the kind of problems that the so-called "Problem Solvers Caucus" are trying to solve.

Bangs and whimpers and death and destruction ongoing

But that's not the way our world ends

Our world ends with each lonely sigh.

Despairing sighs.

Despondent sighs.

Weary sighs.

Our sighs, alone.

And then silence.

But together and in solidarity our world cannot end and Love is unceasing

Look I get that folks here hate Twitter but in red states we still have to be there to dunk on and ratio our horrible congresspeople, and it does make a little bit of a difference

What Im referring to there and didn't have time to necessarily go into in this video, is the chart below.

And relatedly that WV gets matched $3 of federal funds for every $1 we put up for Medicaid.

There's no "fiscally responsible" case from people repping WV to support this budget/ Medicaid cuts
May 16, 2025 at 10:06 PM
What the big ugly budget bill means for WV and Appalachia? Medicaid cuts for us and tax breaks to billionaire coastal elites.

Call your reps and tell them hell no! Hands off our rural healthcare! Hands off Medicaid!
