Republicans are stealing health care from 13.7 million Americans to give trillions in tax handouts to billionaires.

House Budget Committee Republicans only voted against this plan because they want to make it even crueler.

Republicans still plan to bring it to the House floor next week.

Anything less that complete destruction of the ACA expansion part of Medicaid will not do for the "Freedom Caucus" barbarians. 8-9 million eventually losing access to healthcare under the current proposed "big beautiful bill" scheme will not do. Multiple millions more than that must suffer before the bill becomes truly "beautiful" and acceptable to the barbarians. To paraphrase Doc Holliday from the movie Tombstone, the Republicans have a great big hole in the middle of their chests where a heart should be. They can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.

Encouraging terrorism probably did it.

Well, maybe carousing isn’t the right word.

His catering poll numbers make it easier for Rs to buck him in congress.
