We drop the paywall on The Strategy Session this week with Rick Wilson, Joe Trippi, and Mario Nicolais so you can hear what's really at stake with Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill."
WTF -WHY CAN'T I EVER FIND THE LIVE SESSIONS?? I AM A PAID MEMBER AND ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN A MEMBER WHEN IT STARTED A COUPLE YEARS AGO!!! I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT BUT TWICE SINCE THE SWITCH TO LINCOLN SSQUARE!!!
So I have medicaid taxes payments taken out of each of my checks. Since they are cutting Medicaid do they stop taking the money from my check or give me my money back?
Huh? Of course they deserve it. It is exactly what they voted for. They voted to hurt the rest of us, so now that they are getting hurt themselves they somehow don't deserve it?
The bad part is the those rural hospitals that you speak of are closing or consolidating because they can't afford to take cuts at present! Most of the Congress are NOT in the medical profession so I guess they don't know or don't care. Also, all those addicted people that need help from healthcare won't have it. They were so proud that "THEY" got a big dump of Fentanyl at the border. Without clinics to take care of those people will go out of business as well and there will most likely be more addicts dying of over doses because where there's demand those that selling it will find a way to supply them. One more thing that makes me cringe is those Tax Cuts of which you speak are going to PERMANENT! Which will be almost impossible to get rid of.
Rick & Joe I am intersted in your take on the Catalist report that just came out. I read The Bulwark's take but I want yours. Part of the dislike, hatred of the Dems is due to the decades of the Republicans lying about Democrats - sorry folks, truth is truth. We care about people, full stop. Rick, love the "freek the fuck out of them" LOL Thanks
What are the chances Republicans want to kill Medicaid because, once the billionaires get their tax break, some PLAN on using it to buy up rural hospitals, paying pennies on the dollar, keep them open (after taking a chainsaw to them, of course), still using the tax-cut dollars, until they can start charging fees (privatized on our dollar)? Then, what if Dems take over again, reinstate Medicaid and the new privatized owners are able to collect higher Medicaid fees for their services? Repubs so LOVE to privatize everything! And if it all goes south, years may have passed and they can blame it on the Dems! Is that far-fetched?
"This isn’t some kind of lecture about income disparity on a college campus. This budget will wreak havoc on our communities, be they red or blue." Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...
“Those poor misguided maga. They just didn’t know what they were doing.” They did. If this bill were just going to hurt the liberals, they’d be laughing it up. I see the foulest crap from them daily. No, I’m not happy they will suffer. I am directly affected by his policies in the worst possible way. I will not be able to forget what Trump voters did to us.

Millions for the billionaires
Trickle down on the working class.
Hey MAGA, let us know how it feels to be trickled on!
Remember: Trump said: "I don't care about you--I only want your vote!!!

Nah, I'm not there yet...

Isn't the diabolically insidious aspect that the cuts will occur AFTER Dems take office in '26 so THEY get blamed??. Donny is nothing but diabolical.

Nursing home costs will be astronomical.
Thank you so much. I recommend you to every person I talk to. Please continue. I view the Lincoln Project as our last hope.
