A memo obtained by Politico uncovers GOP's "menu" of options to gut Medicare, Medicaid, food and housing assistance programs, student debt forgiveness, and more.
This is stated in project 2025. Which many of us tried telling the stupid idiots among us about. And their statement was he said he was not going to use it. Well hello idiots he is using it. Most of the executive orders he has signed are all from Poject 2025!
The people that voted for Trump believe he's only going to do these things to democrats. They still don't get it. He's coming after their social security, Medicare, medicaid, food subsidies.
I absolutely believe what you’re saying about who the Magats *think* will be hurt by all these budget cuts. Unfortunately I also believe that there will also be ready repugnant lies about how the libruls are causing the MAGATS financial problems because of bruffle flabrox and zoliclenchy.
Unfortunately, they listen to right wing news who report zero information about this, so they don't know it choose to ignore. I'm told I'm brainwashed or my brain is on spun cycle when I try to talk about it.
What do you call the initiative to root out anti-Christian discrimination? The 1st Amendment already prohibits government taking a position for or against any religion.
And suddenly 47 et alia are suddenly going to be stopped by something as ephemeral as a Constitutional Amendment? And just when has that been a problem for them in the past?
I asked a GOP woman if she knew about Project 2025. The answer was: Well, my husband read it & he didn’t read anything bad in there. WTF, he obviously has difficulty with reading comprehension or he’s just fine with what the reverse Robbin Hood wants to do! They have watched SO MUCH Fox Entertainment, they can’t tell the difference between entertaining & the actual news. These people vote, not only against their own needs, they also put their own family members in jeopardy. I asked, do you not want your daughter to have the same benefits you had? I was looked at like I had 3 heads. My own sister (10th grade drop out) refuses to believe anything I say because of FOX being on 24-7 & I have two degrees. So, what do I know!
That is why I keep saying, before ANYTHING else, in the way of "resistance", we need to concentrate on Fox, and the other propaganda networks. We should be using every means nessesary to disrupt their day to day operations, we should be hounding their talkimg heads at dinner, protesting in front of their homes and offices, nothing should be off the table. Staying within legal bounds, we should at least be making it uncomfortable for them to do what they do.
America has proved that its voting population is racist-fuelled above anything else. That is why they voted for a racist and a self- proclaimed fascist autocrat.
Exactly. Since when does anyone believe a person who is incapable of telling the truth? Who lies not because it will get him out of hot water, but because he has always lied. A person for whom lying is 1st nature, not second nature. We are living with a psychopathic narcissist at the head of our government. He cannot help himself. He is a broken, small and petty man. What is every republicans’ excuse? Will you all consign yourselves to the history books as more like Herr Himmler than G.I. Joe? It’s shameful.
And, some have stated they do not care about destroying their legacy or their name because they will be dead. That should let everyone know they not only have no shame or empathy but they couldn't care less about their own children and grandchildren's future. Their selfishness and immorality is unfathomable
I am trying to maintain hope that young people who can vote will understand how critically important to their own future is their knowledge of the issues and who is lying, who is telling the truth. It is a big ask, because it requires work and devoted time, it requires reading and listening to more than one Twitter voice or tv channel OR just to your parents. It is my belief that the next generation will be greatly harmed by Republican devotion to destroying our Constitutional freedoms and our rights under the law. I would like to town halls filled with young voters asking questions of those in office.
When has this con man EVER TELL THE TRUTH. he has said social security won’t be touched either but it is being gutted to crash. If his lips are moving he’s lying or projecting his crimes on someone else. They are all sociopaths and criminals. STOP BUYING from them. Only buy absolute necessities and shop where they aren’t bowing to this S.O.B. People will suffer. Children will suffer. And they are sitting around laughing at the suckers who believed every word they fed them.
This post is important, but "It is abundantly clear that Republicans will use the next four years to gut anything that helps everyday Americans in order to pay for handouts to the wealthy / corporations" overstates the GOP opportunity. They'll use the next TWO years, but whether America gives them all four years of the Trump/Vance administration is another question.
I just worry that Musk and his little band of tech bros are already planning to rig voting machines, the information they have breached gives them a heads up!
They have our voter information, our social security numbers, our addresses, and every other piece of information about us. They will use that as collateral to control us. Or put us on the death list.
There will be nothing left if we wait for the midterms. Vote NOW to replace the three Republicans Trump pulled from their seats in the House of Representatives. We need their votes desperately to slow the assault.
My question is why wait two years? Why not burn this sh** down NOW? People really think they’re going to swear in Democrats who win? That’s just delusional.
They they should step up their absurd tee shirt and candy sales. Coming through DC airport yesterday and yes there were D tRump shirts everywhere and his face on candy bars! Really the President of the USA on candy bar wrappers??? Good heavens aren’t they embarrassed???
I am so sick and tired of the term “entitlement.” We all paid into Social Security and Medicare our whole lives, to help prepare for living in old age…when we were supposed to not have to work anymore. Many of us can’t work now with health issues; those who still can have already been going back to work in their 70’s and even 80’s here, just to pay their bills. The federal government should be ashamed of itself. It outright denies people of all ages what they truly need. This all just is the icing on the cake for these Fascist jackasses.
It’s our money, just like any other retirement fund. Not just some handout. There should be some legal backup for this. Robbing a fund that millions of people rely on to survive is criminal. These programs are, and have been, horribly managed over many years; there’s no reason why Social Security should ever run out of money. Shortcomings should have planned for and issues been rectified years ago. For one, those rich bastards in D.C. pushing for all this only paid a few months per year at best into these programs, with the damn cap that they refuse to abolish, for most of their greedy lives.
It’s actual, necessary income for so many of us. Nothing more than pocket change to them. And with paying ever escalating prices in not only goods and services, but having to regularly replace large appliances and other major expense items that now have life expectancies of half what they used to, homeowners and other insurances going up 40% or more every year, increased property taxes and larger HOA fees, etc…even those of us who thought they had planned fairly well for retirement are getting hit bad financially.
Funds are diminishing at alarming rates. Many of us will lose everything if they get their way. Then what…with little or no financial income/assistance to live off of? Go live in your car, and/or that refrigerator box from the recently purchased fridge that cleaned out your savings? And how are our children and children’s children going to survive financially, now and in the future? Horse shit, all of it.
Agree, totally. Anyone who wants to steal our money to finance corporate and billionaire handouts is entitled. I earned everything in my social security account. How about you?
They already “borrowed” from the fund so it’s running out too soon. Let’s tax those billionaires and corporations instead of giving them a handout and pay back all the money they stole. I’m 66 and still working and one paycheck away from the refrigerator box.
It’s interesting you should mention the fridge box. The last three years I have made reference to how worried I was about being able to afford living going forward (I’m 69), and that I should have saved my (very overpriced, 2022 Whirlpool ) fridge box to live in. People would just look at me (I live in a very RED state in the south). Well…I still have my hot water heater box from a couple weeks ago…😑
Ok, DNC. This is your cue. Stop playing identity politics, stop with the “oh that’s racist” every 10 seconds, and start campaigning on all of these real material issues.
Trump campaigned from the beginning of Biden’s term. Yes, all democrats need to be out there campaigning - especially in red states. Kamala could not overcome it with 100 days of campaigning. Take a page from Trump’s book and start now.
What happened to these rich dudes???? Do they lack compassion? Brains? Empathy?? Why on Gods green earth would you want to murder innocent men, women and especially children?? Why would you support someone so evil just for money? May God help you. I know he will always be there for me and all believers. Too bad none of you are. You have literally sold your souls to Satan. Shame on you.
Yep -- we are watching it play out in real time. At least they were arrogant enough to lay out the game plan in Project 2025 so we know what is coming and can strategize in advance on how to resist.
I’m still trying to figure out all the people who are cheering for this that are in the same boat as the rest of us. Like what are you hoping to gain? A morsel? A breadcrumb? Do they really hate others so much that they’re willing to just suffer this much?
When will people learn that Trump lies about everything?! Of course he knew about Project 2025. One of the authors is his choice for OMB director, for god’s sake, who issued the illegal, unconstitutional budget freeze order.
“Did you know the Pentagon has failed every single audit they have undergone since they were legally required to start doing them in 2018?”
YES I did! & not only that, I don’t believe the pentagon has EVER passed an audit, at least in the 50+ years of my life. In the words of Miami Vice, follow the money laundering. I’m guessing many a long term politician has supported the pentagon not passing their audits.
And...this has been in the deceitful, hateful minds for years! What in the hell are the democrats doing??? Where are the people to stand up to this regime???
This is stated in project 2025. Which many of us tried telling the stupid idiots among us about. And their statement was he said he was not going to use it. Well hello idiots he is using it. Most of the executive orders he has signed are all from Poject 2025!
Unfortunately many Americans still do not believe Project 25 is being implemented because “TrUmP sAiD HE DiDn’T knOW anYtHiNG aBOuT iT.”
But they should have figured out by now that he is lying?
The people that voted for Trump believe he's only going to do these things to democrats. They still don't get it. He's coming after their social security, Medicare, medicaid, food subsidies.

I agree — but they haven’t — not all of them anyway.

I agree. The Heritage Foundation headquarters must be protested too. These are the racist fake Christians.

It all depends on how Americans respond to what’s playing out in front of us. You’re right to be hopeful about the midterms
If we still have elections. Look at what Orban did to free and fair elections in Hungary.
I just worry that Musk and his little band of tech bros are already planning to rig voting machines, the information they have breached gives them a heads up!
They have our voter information, our social security numbers, our addresses, and every other piece of information about us. They will use that as collateral to control us. Or put us on the death list.

if we have them
My question is why wait two years? Why not burn this sh** down NOW? People really think they’re going to swear in Democrats who win? That’s just delusional.
I was just saying this today! We activated for George Floyd/BLM and we need the same enthusiasm for this. NOW!
There's got to be a way to get Trump and Vance and Musk out of office.
We gonna se
We can only hope.
No, we can hope and **work**!!
They they should step up their absurd tee shirt and candy sales. Coming through DC airport yesterday and yes there were D tRump shirts everywhere and his face on candy bars! Really the President of the USA on candy bar wrappers??? Good heavens aren’t they embarrassed???
It’s truly embarrassing
Have you met them? There is no amount of embarrassment that would stop them from grifting from their gullible cult members.
Want to know something more ridiculous? Those things were in the DC airports before he won the election!
Shame went out the door in 2016.
Their level of greed is sickening. 😕
They’re amassing more wealth than anyone could spend in a lifetime while the rest of us struggle. It’s pure evil.
There a way more of us than there are of them. We should make them afraid to go outside.
You’re talking my language! Our side cowers, and there’s millions of us. There’s a handful of them, and they get to do what they want? Hell NO!

It’s our Re-public! No need to worry about the DNC. https://open.substack.com/pub/republia/p/the-difference-between-monarchies?r=4ucf6d&utm_medium=ios
Campaigning? We just had an election.
Trump campaigned from the beginning of Biden’s term. Yes, all democrats need to be out there campaigning - especially in red states. Kamala could not overcome it with 100 days of campaigning. Take a page from Trump’s book and start now.
So you aren't aware there are state special elections going on.
Ours - Wisconsin - is for a judgeship and my daughter and I are doing calls for the Democrat.
Either these wealthy idiots never studied the French Revolution and what led up to it or they’ve forgotten
Hopefully they’re suffering from “it can’t happen to US” syndrome…
What happened to these rich dudes???? Do they lack compassion? Brains? Empathy?? Why on Gods green earth would you want to murder innocent men, women and especially children?? Why would you support someone so evil just for money? May God help you. I know he will always be there for me and all believers. Too bad none of you are. You have literally sold your souls to Satan. Shame on you.
Fetal alcohol syndrome?
Derp. Oligarchy is what the trump “presidency” is all about.
Yep -- we are watching it play out in real time. At least they were arrogant enough to lay out the game plan in Project 2025 so we know what is coming and can strategize in advance on how to resist.

fElon, stop spamming me.
I love this new precedent of reversing all the work of your predecessor. That will definitely make things better..
I sense a little sarcasm
And...this has been in the deceitful, hateful minds for years! What in the hell are the democrats doing??? Where are the people to stand up to this regime???
Best way for the f*ers to reduce cradle-to-grave support is what they are doing - reduce the time between cradle and grave!
Reducing our numbers is not beyond their planning
Great to keep this s&*% visible. Project2025 is the playbook. We must keep score and keep it visible.
We got this! https://open.substack.com/pub/republia/p/the-difference-between-monarchies?r=4ucf6d&utm_medium=ios
It’s the DOGE dodge: cut programs that benefit 99% to pay for tax cuts for the 1%.
I’d like just one billionaire to speak up and say he/she doesn’t need more money
