Did someone reverse course or leak fake info or leak info planted with them to expose leakers?
 
I knew this was coming. STOP LETTING THEM TALK ABOUT "MEDICAID." THEY ARE ACTUALLY CUTTING OBAMACARE. They are trying to turn this into a welfare queen story, but it's a health care story.

Nearly 2,000 Social Security Workers Leaving Field Offices

AARP reiterates customer-service concerns as buyouts cut staff at local sites

Amid surging complaints about Social Security customer service, 40 of the program's local offices are set to lose a quarter or more of their employees as Social Security Administration (SSA) buyouts take effect this month.


The agency is aiming to shed about 7,000 jobs, reducing its workforce to 50,000. The agency says 2,500 workers have requested and been confirmed eligible for “voluntary separation incentive payments” of $15,000 to $25,000 and will leave their jobs by April 19. Of that group, at least 1,962 — nearly 80 percent — work in field offices directly serving the public.
 
I don't understand the Speaker's point. Why shouldn't young men be on Medicaid if they are eligible? If they are poor enough, isn't that the funding mechanism for their access to ACA?

Yes, that's been my point. The Medicaid expansion was a vital part of Obamacare and if they slash Medicaid, it will make everyone's health insurance worse and more expensive. We'll be seeing a return to the days where hospitals would take crippling losses treating poor people with no health insurance, among other things.

The Pubs are lying about Medicaid because they are trying to present it as a welfare program, so as to gain the support of the usual suspects. We should not let them get away with it.
 
Hopefully hyperbole…

Ex-Social Security Boss Sounds Alarm: DOGE Will Delay Checks in ‘Very Near Future’

Martin O’Malley warned—yet again—that the SSA’s 89-year streak of sending monthly benefit payments could soon come to an end.

“
Former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley doubled down on his warning that beneficiaries could stop receiving payments because of the destruction wrought by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

“I truly believe there’s going to be some interruption of benefits for some period of time, and I believe that will probably happen in the very near future,” O’Malley said at a Social Security town hall in Nassau County on Monday, according to the Long Island Press….”

Hopefully not. My hopes for the next two years is that Trump will fuck everything up so badly that we'll have a 1930s style blue wave and MAGA will die.

Remember how, in 2010, you couldn't find anyone who voted for W? Somehow he got elected twice even though nobody voted for him and everyone realized he was a buffoon.

That was sort of Trump in 2021. I want it to be all MAGA, for good.
