6. Had lunch with my MAGA niece last week

She just happens to be mid level management for a company deeply involved in CHIPS and Medicaid outreach in Texas.

I asked how her company reacted to the gutting of Medicaid.

Oh that’s not happening. It’s not in the CR.

I asked her where she thought $880 million in cuts was coming from?

Dead silence followed by deer in the headlights look.

I changed the topic but I struck a nerve. I wanted to say “fuck around and find out” but I didn’t. 😬

One at a time. Drip, drip, drip.

I’ve long said none of my MAGA family believe any of Trump’s agenda will affect them. They really want to see brown people hauled away in leg irons. They really want to see brown and black people forced to work. They really want to see people punished for “wrong thinking.” WTH does that mean?

My niece and her husband just bought a new home. What was that about leopards?
