It is now clear that Trump and Republican congressional leaders were not truthful when they denied that Medicaid would be affected. Despite their assurances, the current budget proposal includes up to $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid.
Republicans continue to frame these changes as efforts to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse, but in reality, they would severely impact critical programs for children, the elderly, and veterans. Some of the most affected programs include the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), long-term care for seniors, veterans’ health care, disability services, and maternal and infant health programs.
The best chance to stop this bill is if moderate Republicans and those in vulnerable seats join Democrats to block its passage, protecting millions of Americans from losing essential health care services.

Looks like they will recycle Biden's executive order on prescription drugs and claim victory.

I get what you're saying, guys like Karl Rove and James Carville have been around forever, and they definitely want to stay relevant. But that doesn’t mean they’re wrong when they call out misinformation. Rove’s critique of Trump’s economic claims is based on actual data, gas prices weren’t under $1.90, inflation isn’t at 2%, and Trump’s tariffs weren’t popular. Whether you like Rove or not, facts are facts.
Also, I think it’s important that Rove said this on Fox News because many Fox viewers don’t consume alternative media. When truth is presented on Fox, it reaches an audience that might not otherwise hear it. Given that Fox News often promotes a particular narrative, it’s valuable when someone challenges misinformation within that space.
As for Carville, I agree, he’s not as sharp as he used to be, but his legacy as a strategist is undeniable. He played a crucial role in Bill Clinton’s victory, helping an unknown Democrat from a poor red state become President of the United States. 'It’s the economy, stupid' is one of the greatest political slogans ever. I also respect that he remains a moderate voice in the Democratic Party and isn’t afraid to call out the far left when their ideas are impractical. Plus, he was one of the first to call on Biden not to run again, showing he’s still willing to challenge his own party when necessary.

Trump is doing exactly what’s expected of him---nothing new there. His administration has banned nearly all refugees from entering the U.S., yet he has made an exception for Afrikaners, exaggerating their so-called persecution.
The reality is that white South Africans, while making up less than 8% of South Africa’s population, still own nearly 80% of private land and control between 50% and 72% of agricultural land. While the South African government has a land redistribution program, it has yet to be fully implemented. Crime in South Africa is undeniably high, but whites mostly live in affluent, well-secured areas, meaning they are not disproportionately affected by violent crime.
But honestly, who cares? The fact is, we need more immigrants, and Afrikaners are hardworking, educated, and skilled. They will become taxpayers, and we need revenue. My number one concern right now is our out-of-control $36 trillion national debt. Twenty-four percent of that was accumulated during Trump’s last administration, and if he and the GOP have their way, we could add another $9 to $11 trillion in his second term.
So, if Afrikaners want to come to America, I say let them in. The U.S. government needs revenue, and we need contributors who can help sustain our economy.
