it’s over now, the music of the night @aftershocked - Tumblr Blog

We’ve lost a decade because people fundamentally loathe women and find every excuse in the world to oppose them seeking a position of power, while ultimately preferring that a criminal, rapist, moronic man becomes president, but you still get people screaming at you on this very website if you say misogyny had anything to do with this. It doesn’t matter how many people Trump kills—at least he’s not some uppity bitch girlboss, amirite 🤪

shoutout to slow growers, late bloomers, people whose plans got derailed by circumstances beyond their control or their own choices, people who never had a plan to begin with, people who have had to start over when theyre too old to feel like theyre supposed to be where they are, people who cant pretend theyre built for the environment theyre in, and everyone who's not living the life they thought they would. im proud of you for making it this far and i hope you keep going until youre happy ♡

Trump is putting fucking Bill Pulte in charge of national intelligence. Bill Pulte. Honestly at this point as a country we could just collectively kill ourselves and we'd get the same result as what Trump is doing.

wyf-of-bathe

The president told The Wall Street Journal he wants staffing cuts at the office that coordinates intergovernmental intelligence sharing.

The Journal reported Trump suggested Pulte prioritize firing staff who served during the Biden and Obama administrations.

This stupid fucking moron....

The president stressed that Pulte’s appointment will be temporary and that he is considering other candidates to fill the role permanently. He told the Journal that serving on an acting basis “gives you more power” to enact the sweeping changes he hopes to impose. Trump said he expects the person he nominates to permanently succeed Gabbard to continue the staffing cuts he’s asked Pulte to start.

I can't believe there's been three people and they all fucking missed.

The House passed legislation Thursday that would aid Ukraine and sanction key segments of the Russian economy, overriding objections from Republican leaders who warned the bill would undermine negotiations designed to achieve a comparable but stronger result. The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., seeks to cement U.S. assistance for Ukraine by providing more than $1 billion in security and reconstruction aid. It would make another $8 billion available for Ukraine’s defense through loans. The 226-195 vote is a sign of impatience with President Donald Trump’s approach to the war and represents the House’s second major foreign policy break with Trump this week.

Adults on Medicaid will be required to work 80 hours per month. The Trump administration says people who are sick will have to prove they ar

Selena Simmons-Duffin at NPR:

Advocates for people with serious illnesses, like cancer and HIV, say the strict Medicaid work rules that the Trump administration released this week are likely to put ongoing treatments in jeopardy.

States must put the work requirements into effect by January 1. That was already a tight timeline, says Adrianna McIntyre, assistant professor of health policy at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. "It takes states literally months — usually years — to make the types of changes to their systems that they needed to make for this new rule," she says. "They were severely constrained by the timeline having a year and a half from the time of the law being passed to implement all of this." At stake is health coverage for 68 million low-income Americans on Medicaid, the health insurance system jointly funded by states and the federal government. States must "make the changes, test the changes to make sure they're not going to break the system, and then go live," McIntyre says.

The nearly 400-page interim final rule released Monday makes that process even harder. For months, federal officials have been meeting with states informally and giving them guidance, and states understood that people with conditions where continuous health insurance coverage was really important would be exempt. "What the rule says, as published, is that that's actually not enough," McIntyre explains. "The condition or the disease needs to be actively interfering with your ability to work. So people with early stage cancer who are in radiation treatment but still have the capacity to work, or people who have HIV but can still technically work, are not exempted from the work requirement." McIntyre and others foresee situations where a person newly diagnosed with cancer, who is working, loses Medicaid because they don't fill out the paperwork correctly. That could lead to patients losing coverage when they need it most.

Pitched as "a path to prosperity"

Republicans have long heralded work requirements as a way to encourage personal responsibility. Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, presented the policy to reporters at the White House Tuesday. "If you're sitting at home, which is true for the millions of people who are able-bodied on Medicaid, on average, you're spending 6.1 hours watching television, or just hanging around," Oz said. "So, as a path to prosperity, Congress very wisely said, 'Let's get you back into the workforce.'"

[...]

Most on Medicaid already work

The new requirements apply in the more than 40 states that expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. For years, that has meant any low-income adult who does not have access to affordable insurance at work could enroll in Medicaid. Starting in January, adults in those states, from age 19 to 64 will have to periodically prove that they are either working, going to school or volunteering at least 80 hours a month. Alternatively, they will have to prove that they are exempt from the work requirement. Most adults who get Medicaid are already working, according to an analysis of government data by the health policy research organization KFF. About 1 in 5 people are not meeting the 80 hours-per-month threshold, KFF found, and this population had barriers that kept them from the workforce. Some could not find jobs; others were laid off; others had retired.

The Trump Regime’s CMS is enacting harsh Medicaid work requirements, effective 2027. Such a change will adversely effect 68M Medicaid recipients.
