    “ The House Freedom Caucus has announced they will not vote tonight on the Senate's amended version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” effectively halting its momentum in the House and throwing a major wrench in Speaker Mike Johnson’s push for final passage.”

  3. Well, that certainly didn't last long. As I pointed out earlier, the GOP's failure to get their homicidal class war budget bill out of committee was always going to be a temporary situation. Now, after negotiating through the wee hours with Freedom Caucus "fiscal hawks" the Republicans have progressed the reconciliation bill closer to a floor vote by agreeing to even deeper, and particularly faster cuts to Medicaid; cuts that will ultimately kill Americans, including their own voters.

    After 'Backroom Deal' to Make Medicaid Cuts Even Worse, GOP Passes Budget Bill Out of Committee

    "Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) wrote in a social media post after joining Norman in voting "present" that "after a great deal of work and engagement over the weekend," the legislation "now will move Medicaid work requirements forward and reduces the availability of future subsidies under the green new scam"—a reference to clean energy tax credits established by the Inflation Reduction Act.

    Roy and other Republican hardliners are also reportedly pursuing changes that could force states to end their Medicaid expansions, which would strip coverage from millions and potentially kill tens of thousands of people per year.

    In its current form, the Republican reconciliation bill would inflict the largest cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in U.S. history, slashing or eliminating benefits for millions by implementing strict work requirements and forcing many Medicaid recipients to pay more for coverage, among other changes—all while giving major tax breaks to the wealthy.

    The legislation's Medicaid work requirements, which policy experts have condemned as cruel and ineffective, were slated to begin in 2029, but GOP hardliners want them to start immediately."

    My health willing, we're going to talk a little bit later about the fascist Republican party's obsession with work requirements, and why that policy has been disastrous pretty much everywhere, and every time, the GOP has been able to legislate it into social assistance programs of any kind. What's important to understand here is that "meat is back on the menu boys" and you, or at least poor and marginalized Americans, are the meat. That means that over a trillion dollars worth of cruel cuts to Medicaid and SNAP programs that keep people alive, cuts that will thus result in dead Americans, are back on the menu too - and every rich maggot nazi in America could not be more delighted about that.

  5. “Ms. Luna resigned from the House #FreedomCaucus, citing its members’ unwillingness to back her in what she called a ‘modest, family-centered proposal.’”

  6. @aaron.rupar Does #FreedomCaucus Chair and #Maryland Rep. #AndyHarris also believe that hurricane #Helene somehow makes the #BlackNazi the Governor of #NorthCarolina ? 😂

    The citizens of the #EasternShore in Maryland are *represented* by a clown 🤡. What does that say about them? 🤔

  7. @Mikasa4231 #Asheville #NorthCarolina was part of the Congressional District that voted to have #MarkMeadows *represent them* in #Congress.

    #MarkMeadows was the leader of the treasonous #FreedomCaucus before he resigned to be Chief of Staff for the worst #POTUS in #history #DonaldTrump.

    He ended his career *doing nothing* to stop the #January6th #FailedCoupAttempt.

    Vote as if your life depends on it, because it does! #USpol #ClimateChange

  8. "Perry, a former chairman of the #FreedomCaucus and a chief #Trump loyalist... also played a role in Trump’s efforts to overturn the #2020election, according to witnesses who testified before the House #Jan6 panel. The #FBI seized Perry’s phone in 2022 as part of the #Justice Department’s investigation into the effort to reverse the election results.

    #Intelligence members consider Perry’s comportment more problematic than his ties to Jan. 6."

    "Not much Republican agenda enactment was going to be achieved between their own slim voting margins, a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic White House. The Freedom Caucus either doesn’t get this or pretends not to."

    Slate:
    On Ukraine, immigration, and impeachments, the far-right Freedom Caucus has sabotaged Republicans in Congress.

    "Marjorie Taylor Greene and her gang have cost Republicans any real wins."
