iT’S JUST SO DEVASTATING, WHAT MAGA HAS DONE TO US
The bill delays the harshest effects of its Medicaid and SNAP provisions until after the 2026 midterms, pushing enforcement into fiscal year 2027. According to page 69, Section 21101(c), “The amendments made by this section shall apply to calendar quarters beginning on or after January 1, 2027.” This delay applies to the rollout of mandatory Medicaid work requirements, including budget cuts and redeterminations that will lead to mass disenrollment. It’s a political calculation—keeping consequences off the radar until the voting is over. On top of that, SNAP restrictions are postponed even further for some states. Page 707, Section 44101, allows states with a high “payment error rate” to delay implementation until fiscal year 2030, pushing some of the most punishing changes well past multiple election cycles.
The reason for these delays is straightforward: control the optics. By holding off cuts until 2027, lawmakers avoid immediate voter backlash in 2026. That gives #DonaldTrump’s Project 2025 time to hardwire structural shifts without public resistance derailing them. Voters won’t feel the Medicaid loss or SNAP tightening until it’s too late to vote the architects out. This strategy front-loads appealing tax breaks while backloading economic pain for the working poor, single mothers, disabled people, and low-income seniors. It’s political insulation disguised as policy timing—and it sets up the next administration to carry out the cleanup without fear of electoral blowback.

MORE BECAUSE I AM JUST SO FED UP
I’m not sure about the rules for posting things from other sources, but this is from the same post. It’s a comment. Do I need to attribute or keep the people anonymous on here? Not sure, but it’s worth the risk of whatever.
“Many of these folks are from sects affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, which broke away from the Baptists in 1845 because the Southern Baptists wanted to continue to support slavery.
In other words, it isn’t surprising that these Republican “Christian” senators apparently have a warped view of what Jesus would want them to do.”
They truly seem to have no knowledge at all of what Jesus taught, they are just using his name to justify their greed and cruelty. They are a disgrace.

FROM A TUMBLR POST
“At the core of Republicans’ newly finalized domestic policy package is an important political calculation. It provides its most generous tax breaks early on and reserves some of its most painful benefit cuts until after the 2026 midterm elections.
The result is a soon-to-be enacted law that may generate bigger refunds for some taxpayers when they file their returns next spring, even as a series of significant changes to Medicaid and other aid programs loom as a future threat to the finances of poorer families. […] Some of the provisions could see millions of people lose Medicaid and food stamps in the coming years, inflicting financial hardships on families and angering voters. That reality led some Senate Republicans to oppose the domestic policy bill earlier this week, citing the potential adverse impacts on their states and residents. […] “They want to try to get past elections and try to hide the ball on the damage they’re imposing on health care and food assistance,” added Mr. Jacquez, who is now chief of policy at Groundwork Collaborative, a liberal advocacy group.
