@repgabeevans Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) help people with disabilities stay in their homes, surrounded by the people they love, instead of in institutions. Please #ProtectHCBS

@AlanSmitheeDGA @Angry_Staffer @larryqobooks Tofu 🌮 's Sounds about right

@Angry_Staffer @larryqobooks It’s part of a pattern. Retweet if you agree

Oh hey, “private donations” are no longer paying for the ballroom. Who could have seen that coming?

The Government™ made an ad about what's happening, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. We're on patreon: patreon.com/thejuicemedia

Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it. RT

TRIGGER WARNING: Apparently telling boys “stop” is confusing and not enough. 🤬🤬🤬 This story is insane! If I was this mother, I would go nuclear.

First man I’ve seen discussing this. Thank you 🙏🏼

Family and friends provide billions of hours of mostly unpaid care for adults with #disabilities and other conditions across the U.S. A new report finds the value of such care tops all #Medicaid spending. #caregivers disabilityscoop.com/2026/04/13/fam…

Florida's unwillingness to provide in-home care has caused scores of children with severe #disabilities to be #institutionalized in nursing homes generally reserved for elders, some since they were babies. disabilityscoop.com/2026/04/14/fed…

@Angry_Staffer A little respect for the bats please

This is a batshit crazy post. We’ve also gone from: - Vance is going - no he’s not - yes he is In a period of 3 hours. Incoherent psychobabble.

Those who fought for our country should never be overshadowed.

The UK is mocking us. And it is pretty dang funny. Despite the fact, we are living through this tragedy.

@KyleClark AND caring for seniors. Sadly, there is a lot of her type caring for seniors.

My favorite part of your bio is where it says “Mental Health Advocate.” I, for one, find my mental health is always improved by our interactions.

@Angry_Staffer He just wishes he thought of that first

We’ve gone from demanding freedom of navigation to fantasizing about toll booths in the ocean. Unreal.

Look how they treat troops that are actively deploying

BREAKING: There has never been a better time to retweet this video of six brave lawmakers reminding the men and women in our military to REFUSE UNLAWFUL ORDERS from Trump. Let’s make this go viral again.

@FmrRepMTG @florintruth Meanwhile as Americans and the world clearly sees Trump as unfit to serve as President. Republican politicians are too impotent and anemic to remove him... China and Russia have truly been the winners of Trump's War of Choice!

@JonCaldara Many families with children with disabilities moved to Colorado due to the benefits for those with disabilities... that is where a LOT of the increase has come from. I know a few families who were bringing in multiple 6 figure income from these benefits (multiple children)

The legislature is about to hurt my disabled son. #copolitics #coleg #cogov My son, Chance, has Down syndrome and a few years ago would have been labeled “retarded.” Then “developmentally delayed.” Now the hypersensitive prefer “intellectually disabled.” Whatever the term is this week, the reality hasn’t changed. This 21-year-old man cannot consistently count to five, can’t read and can’t write his own name. He needs constant supervision for choking risks. He still needs help toileting. And that’s just the start. Medicaid was designed for people like him, our most vulnerable. And I am grateful for it. In between passing laws barring misgendering and expanding tax credits to buy electric bicycles, the state legislature plans to cut in half the Medicaid support Chance, and people like him, receive. This is the funding he requires to live. So yeah, this one’s personal. Blowing up Medicaid Not many years ago, the following sentence would be unimaginable. Medicaid spending is now a larger percentage of our state budget than education spending. So, if Medicaid is the top priority, why are they cutting Chance’s life support by 50%? Because, since 2009 Colorado’s population grew about 20%. Medicaid enrollment grew 200%. That’s not a demographic shift. That’s a policy choice. Either that or every single person who has moved to Colorado is severely handicapped. What else could explain the explosion of Medicaid enrollment? Or maybe, just maybe, the state has been encouraging people who are not handicapped to enroll into Medicaid. Maybe they’ve been encouraging able-people to swell the ranks, which (and who could have predicted this) means less for the truly needy. During COVID the federal government put our great-grandchildren-to-be into debt and printed money out of nowhere to shower it on to the states. Colorado had an orgy of free money. Now, it was clear from the get-go this temporary emergency money from D.C. wasn’t permanent; it was, how to put it, temporary. Responsible states used it for short-term purposes like emergency services, unemployment payments, etc. Other less responsible states (I’m looking at you, Colorado) used the windfall to get healthy people addicted to wealth-transfer entitlement programs, guaranteeing a painful hangover when the Feds stopped the benevolence. A more cynical person (obviously not me) might think they knew exactly what would happen if they grew Medicaid enrollment to obscene levels. When the temporary gusher of free money stopped, it would cause massive budget shortfalls. Exploiting the handicapped What gets people to say yes to new taxes? Seeing our most vulnerable hurt because the rich don’t pay their share, TABOR is mean, or Trump sucks (I wonder if they’re planning any tax elections this year? Nah.). In other words, use people like my son as a political prop to raise taxes. These legislators exploit the severely handicapped as human shields to hide their inability to set budget priorities. Their “Cover All Coloradans” program to give illegal immigrants Medicaid benefits wasn’t supposed to cost much. Just $14.7 million taken from folks like Chance. It’s now pushing $105 million. That’s a 611% miss. Funny thing happens when you give away other people’s money. They come over borders to take it. Blame Joe Biden for opening the floodgates to tens of millions of illegal immigrants. Blame our legislators for tempting them to relocate here for the free goodies. But just don’t be surprised by the oldest political ploy on the books — “the most vulnerable will hurt if we don’t raise taxes!” In other words, our leaders’ decisions are hateful, not accidental. They knew this would happen. They planned on it. I’ll find ways to keep Chance living with me, fed and clothed after these easily avoidable cuts are made. But other families will not have the means to keep their loved one at home. With half the money needed to hire caretakers, therapies, food, transportation, rent and supplies, families will be forced to forfeit their own children to an institution or group home. Basically, these cuts will force parents to give their vulnerable adult children to the state. My son will lose half the help he needs to live. But don’t worry. The state will still find plenty of money for people who never needed it in the first place.

@pkinco @JonCaldara No but the cuts to medicaid have a deeper negative impact to those with disabilities

@JonCaldara WTF are you talking about ? You don't have to be disabled to receive Medicaid.

@twizzle6 @JonCaldara Even if that was true... if they are perfectly healthy that means they can get well checks to stay healthy Costing less in the long run

@JonCaldara I remember Obama had billboards out encouraging perfectly healthy people to apply for Medicaid.
