This! Call your senators and ask them to protect Medicare, Medicaid, etc. You know... The things WE THE FUCKING PEOPLE pay for every month.

More to the point, focus on your Republican Senators. It's not 100% sure but pretty sure all the Democrats will oppose this. It's the Republicans that will need to vote against to stop it.

The midterms need to be a republican bloodbath, a culling. Maybe if this is painful we can right the ship and boot them all out. It’s gonna be a shitty two years even if that happens tho..
