That just ticks me off!

He never worried for a second about the people he’d throw off health care - he’s worried he’ll lose his job! Or something even more nefarious.

He’s an empty little puppet - a stooge who looks like he could be a character on Howdy Doody!

He’s a fraud. Just like the man whose shoes he licks.

Exactly, Johnson's statement is an admission that Republicans are failing to fool people on the Medicaid cuts.---Jason

Johnson, the little turd, is still sucking up to Daddy (drumpf) again, so it’s keeping his job that is more important, I think. But it’ll all fall out as unpassable when the senate version reaches the house. Trump will explode. McConnell will shake his head and then explode and lie some more. Graham will take to the airways to disparage the democrats some more. MTG will lose any semblance of decency. Not sure what goes next. Do the democrats finally feel emboldened? Do they get their mojo back? 🤞

MTG has any semblance of decency left to lose? I’m doubtful.

The Heritage Foundation is running the show. A white "christian" Nationalist HATE group. They own top officials in Texas for example. They are ALL puppets, including trump, judges, Congress Members appointed by Reagan and STILL there. This all started with him. Watch "BAD FAITH DOCUMENTARY" on YouTube or Prime. It explains everything. SHOW UP TO PROTESTS. The numbers mean everything. Keep calling and pushing BOUGHT Senate members to have a heart. SHARE SHARE SHARE.

That I believe. The Heritage Foundation has a lock on Republican policy. As long as they get what they want, Trump can grift $ and con all he wants. As long as Trump gets what he wants, The Heritage Foundation can push white “Christian” supremacy to the wall. They’re two parasites working together, sucking the life out of the U.S. and U.S. government, fomenting hatred.

If only they’d suck the life out of each other!

Could that happen?

How?

Now ! Wouldn’t that be the best solution!!!

Are there no women in these groups who feel the need to rebel? No sex. No food. No cleaning. Children and women running wild & dirty and unclothed…. Could be a good strategy…

You bet your bippy it will have consequences to the inhumane political party that votes to do what is patently inhumane.

You can't have financial stability without access to affordable healthcare/insurance! One disaster can cause you to lose your ablility to work (even for a while is a disaster), and lose your house/apartment. I used to vote Republican until they couldn't figure that out! Medicaid helps people be ABLE to work whose jobs don't provide access to insurance, or who have kids with complicated medical problems. I hope there is a rise in Independent options to vote for 'cause I'm getting sick of all of the choices.

When you see these people like Mitch McConnell, Joni Ernst, be so dismissive of people‘s needs for Medicaid, you know something is seriously wrong. I think it’s because these people have been able to remain in power because I don’t believe that we’ve had fair elections. I’ll believe that this man actually won the 2024 election once enough audits of paper ballots are done to prove that he did win. Until then, burn their phone lines protesting their crazy and corrupt bill.

Holy Moses Johnson deserves nothing but a “no shit Sherlock” for his pithy observation that the MAGA party will lose their jobs over their Big Bullshit Bill. Deservedly so when you were sent to help your constituents instead of knifing them in the back.

Agree with earlier comment. So telling that he is worried about party and maintaining majority in house, and not about the American people they represent. I wonder if once these people leave politics and regain perspective as to what is important in life, they are ashamed of themselves. I would hope but probably not.

He should worry that the bill he wrote and pushed through the House will cost their seats. It’s time members of Congress focused on their constituents, not the uber wealthy and the Orange Menace.

I don't wanna be the bringer of bad news, but I do wanna be the bringer of what is definitely in my opinion a possibility. And that is project 2025 is being pushed out day by day and again in my opinion, there isn't going to be any 2026 anything for us in addition to that there is also Esther project or project Esther, which is the sister to project 2025 and it's just as bad and just as fucked up. These people have been working on this stuff for decades already.

He should worry about it. Nobody should mess with Medicaid. I have a feeling they will lose the house anyway, but this would be the nail in the coffin.
