Matt Taibbi: Trump is Trolling the AP. 

The once-great AP became journalism's word police, and humorously is now claiming to be a victim of censorship

 

“People are claiming the White House is bullying the AP, repeating the saw that Trump is telling them ‘what words to use.’

 

If you don’t see the irony, you’ve never used the AP stylebook.”

They can’t help it.  They know the trans issue is absolutely toxic and yet..

 

The polling on this is so insanely lopsided against the left but it’s their religion, so they can’t relent.  
 

The left at its core worships identity/ego over a God higher than them that urges death of self/ego.

Hey Donald...where does that pipeline come from? 

Response from Canadian corporation...no, not about to spend more billions and have the Whitehouse change their mind again.

But as time went by, state after state joined the program, a trend that was helped along by the massive influx of federal aid money during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, only 10 states don’t participate, with some 20 million Americans enrolled through the ObamaCare Medicaid expansion. And many of those folks live in poor states in Appalachia and the South, which is to say, red states. Louisiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Arkansas and Mississippi are all in the top 10 states for Medicaid beneficiaries per capita. 

Republicans have been very happy to reap the electoral benefits of being the party of the working class. Indeed the migration of lower-middle-class Americans from blue to red may be the most significant shift in political demographics so far this century. But when the GOP got the voters, they also got the headaches.  

 

House Republicans are looking to get $880 billion out of Medicaid cuts but are trying a new spin: They’re not cutting benefits, just expenditures. States can feel free to make up the difference in costs and keep coverage exactly as it is. Let the governors take the heat if voters don’t like it.

A dozen states have “trigger” laws that drop state participation if the federal cash flow is reduced. Many others would be forced to do the same. And, again, the burden would fall disproportionately on residents of red states. Linguistic tricks in Congress won’t be much comfort when those bills come due.

I was reliably told that Trumps policies and Elon Musk’s DOGE were cratering in public support…

yes, you were

The results should come as welcome news to Trump and his advisors after a string of polls last week suggested his popularity was declining.

“The last day and change has been the worst day for Donald Trump during his entire second term in office,” observed CNN’s Harry Enten last Thursday. “What am I talking about here? Take a look at Trump’s net approval rating. CNN, you see it on this side of the screen, minus five. Gallup, minus six. Ipsos, inus seven. Quinnipiac, minus four. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Underwater. Underwater. Underwater. Underwater. These four polls, all of them tell a consistent story. And that is Trump is on the negative side of the ledger. His net approval is negative. He is underwater like The Little Mermaid.”  source: Mediaite

These cuts to Medicaid will be catastrophic for rural medical care. But I’m sure you knew that. 
 

 

 

also this bill ADDS to the deficit. But I’m sure you knew that too.

Glad you're finally concerned about West Virginia and Mississippi.

 

Who knew!
