Yes, you can
Friends asked last night (not in so many words) what they could do to stop the rapid unscheduled dissassembly of the United States by Musk-Trump. They feel helpless. They are not. They feel overwhelmed. That’s not surprising given the sheer volume and breadth of the attacks. But they need a place to focus. The shadow president is not the only party to the Project 2025 sabotage.
The need for action is immediate for a response to the GOP’s vote Tuesday night to gut Medicaid.
Jason Statler offers
We can still stop the GOP from destroying Medicaid
But it’s going to a national pushback that scares Republicans more than Trump.
What you need to know about this fight that truly just began last night.
Via Statler’s The Last Billionaires:
So what to do?
Call your Republican reps if you have them—House and Senate. Use this tool about the damage the GOP budget would do to shame them. Tell them (and everyone) that the Children’s Hospital Association opposes these cuts. Then, please share what you told them on social media in any way you can.
BONUS: Join or start a Musk or Us event. We’ve got to be visible and in the faces of every possible Republican.More from Rogan’s List here.
When can we stop them
If you’re like me, you may need to dig deeper. You may want to know, for instance, that Medicaid fraud primarily comes from providers, not families who rely on it.
You’ll also probably appreciate this thread from Bobby Kogan, the Senior Director of Federal Budget Policy at the Center for American Progress, which I’m posting below.
Kogan provides more detail, but the key is not to sit on your hands.
