The end result is everyone has less, except for a select few oligarchs.
The end result is everyone has less, except for a select few oligarchs.
It’s also to give those resources to the oligarchs
This!!!
With that social media post, the VP sure has some nerve alleging, "dishonesty." 🙃
Most voters don’t even know that much and prob think you’re talking about First Nations. That’s the level of stupid that surrounds me
For him to call anyone dishonest is unbelievable. Hipster Nazi is one of the biggest liars on the planet
Don’t forget: We fund the legislators healthcare We also fund universal healthcare for Israel But, we don’t get healthcare
America has roughly ~5% of the world's population and ~30% of the world's wealth. Lack of resources has never been the issue.
JD Vance is a known liar. Take anything he says as such. Same with Trump. Hey, America, you had a good run, but you decided to fuck yourself. Congrats.
His US citizen wife was born to non-US citizen parents.
Taps the sign: bsky.app/profile/ofse...
JD making sure the cuts to cut Medicaid go thru cuts our hospice care so I guess me and many others can just die at home. He's a ghoul.
You are spot-on. Vance fully mischaracterizes things like this constantly and relies upon the cultists not to notice that what he really does with his actions is deprive those same cultists of what they need to survive. The leopards are and will remain lethargic from the buffet of faces.
The pig man oinking/lying!
Let them fight.
When it comes to "dishonesty off the charts" Mr Vance is a recognized expert.
Has there ever been a better example of The Worst People You Know are Fighting.
Ask the Brits how Brexit is going... All that money that was supposed to go to NHS ended up... where exactly? It's a lie, topped with latent racism, a few sprinkles of birther insinuation and topped with a cherry. Sickening.
I didn’t know they promised that the money would be going to NHS? Isn’t it getting gutted?
The main premise from the “leave” movement was that the UK was sending £350,000,000 a week to the EU which should have been used to reinforce the NHS www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/th...
wow 🥴
ikr
tbf I've never known a MAGA who wasn't a sadistic bully so watching others suffer is a benefit for them.
They're all blood sucking ghouls. It's about time to start treating them like that.
Yep. I just can't have anything to do with them. My daughter's in-laws re MAGA & I can't be in the same room with them. It's awkward to avoid them but MAGA are so truly evil I can't stand it. There's a bad energy to them that's palpable.
Exactly. Here is what's happening to what used to be a democracy. bsky.app/profile/did:...
Yes. It’s odd people don’t know that. People voting for Trump thought bonanzas would rain from the sky. Now they can lose their local hospital. They will live even fewer years. Their children will get sick from childhood disease. They will live a pre-modern lifespan, some of these children.
JD Vance’s interest in Medicaid, begins and ends with claiming that immigrants are bad for it.
Vance, if you tell yourself that enough, you might start believing it. Like unicorns and leprechauns.
And you know a loud amount of people in this country unironically support this happening…
We are well past that return period this 4th of July.
It’s the constant lies and misinformation. In a world of JD Vance be a Mike Waltz.
This Scott Alexander bit remains an all-timers www.astralcodexten.com/p/money-save...
... and then they put the money "saved" into the pockets of the rich. Yes indeed, the dishonesty is off the charts.
Says the man who is married to the daughter of 'brown' immigrants. The hypocrisy is off the charts!
“When they get rid of all the illegals in this country, white billionaires will then magically become generous and start paying people a living wage because they inadvertently got rid of their excuse as to why they’re not paying people.” - Bill Burr
Illegal immigrants, by definition, don’t get any of these benefits! The government doesn’t even know they are in the US …
Where is any evidence that any illegal immigrants are on Medicaid? Any at all. Discounting the fever dreams in couch fucker's head.
Republican voters are the stupidest fucking people you will ever meet literally decades.. generations, even of evidence that no Republican politician has ever done anything for a constituent who wasn’t a plutocrat and still they think if they can take from others, their leaders might give to them
They flatter them, wheedle and lie. Sort of like the preachers do. But they often don’t meet or see or hear from anyone else. They hear some stories about terrible problems like crime and drugs and are told they are in danger. They are intensely fearful, a lot of them.
They are adults they have agency 2016 was the time to make excuses for them, we are way past that.. they can all go fuck themselves forever
I don’t make excuses. They have done something horrific. I’m only curious how they get people to do that to themselves and to have mostly false beliefs about the world. Use fear is one observation. (My views about blame for human being are very complex though. I suspect you would not like my views.)
??? apnews.com/article/cali...
True
That's unfair and inaccurate. Not all Republican voters are stupid. Some of them are evil.
They can be both! 😂
Conservatives are more likely to have "dark triad" personality traits (psychopathy, narcissism, machiavellianism), be antidemocratic, support political violence etc. They're also more likely to have worse cognitive skills than others, especially if they're racists or bigots
He lies bc maga voters want to believe this, so they can explain to themselves why they voted their own healthcare. These talking points are all over FB comments already.
Yeah, Vance. The dishonesty IS off the charts and it's all coming from the White House. Fuck your Nazi ass. 🖕
This is the only context in which a Republican will refer to healthcare as a right: when it's a hypothetical thing an illegal immigrant is stealing from you, but not when you actually need to go to the doctor.
Well I have to agree with one thing: “The dishonesty is off the charts.”
Vance is the one with the dishonesty off the charts.
This is pure Nazi shit.
* They want us fearful & demoralized; * They want us horrified at their cruelty; * They want us to forget due process; * They want us to accept their inhumanity; * They want us to believe we are subordinate to them; * They want us exhausted, so rest when you need to and come back stronger. #Resist

They don't effing get Medicaid....
May I be so bold as to suggest an edit? Change "voters" to "MAGA" which is roughly 25-30 percent of this nation (unbelievably)
See also: Brexit. Please Mark Carney, for the love of reason, please SEE these lessons, before you go over the same cliff.
Hilarious to see bootlicking Yglesias get the first long knives, though.
For the umpteenth time, undocumented people don't qualify for Medicaid.
The Budget Lab estimates that unauthorized immigrants paid $66 billion in federal income & payroll taxes in 2023, about 2/3 of which was payroll taxes....How much did Jeff Bezos pay?!
Somewhere between 13 and 15 billion. The sleight of hand there is that what he paid isn't the same proportionally to people like you. Republicans like to shame people for wanting to tax more of the wealthy class because factually they do pretty much collectively keep the economy afloat, and
While Bezos benefited from tax advantages by moving to Florida, and has paid minimal federal taxes in past years, the available evidence indicates he paid a significant amount in federal taxes in 2024 due to substantial stock sales. Stock sales one year doesn't give Jeff Bezos a free pass!!
do so at about anywhere from 25-30% of their income. On paper that looks fair. The problem is the amount of sacrifice that calls for and whether you believe there's a cap on the level of luxurious lifestyle one should be able to achieve. If you took away 30% of a working class individual's
yearly income of about 30k, thats pretty much 10 grand. That is a considerable loss given how ineffectual the US government is at putting that money towards directly serving that tax payer. By contrast, losing a third of a billion dollars still leaves that billionaire with 700 million.
Having that much wealth is beyond the capacity of the average rube to comprehend. They stubbornly defend that wealth by trying to equate themselves to the billionaires. Even with the loss of income, that much wealth hits a point where you can essentially wrote yourself a blank check in
terms of what banks will loan out to you. The billionaire class owns *everything* and they can use those controlling interest as collateral to get as much luxury spending as they want from banks. All this bearing in mind that none of that wealth would exist without the labor that built it.
Go bootlick elsewhere
I'm agreeing with you. Pull your head out of your ass and stop sniffing your own farts for five seconds to recognize who is and isn't an enemy.
Seriously you copy and paste a bunch of BS and expect me to read it all?
I wrote it myself. Sorry, next time I'll use smaller words to make sure your limited attention span gets the instant gratification it needs. You can continue scrolling in your endless quest to find meaning in picking fights without consequence.
I know you think you have this really edgy profile description, but you really just come off like a startled chihuahua with a bad case of distemper. But I suppose I shouldn't have set my expectations so high. That was on me.
I don't care if you think I'm a Bitch I hugely prefer it
The guy who admitted on national tv that he doesn't mind making up stories to get what he wants is calling out 'dishonesty?' That's so rich. This from the guy with the 'they're eating dogs & cats' bullshit.
Yes, Shady Vance dishonesty is way off the charts
Who pays for his health insurance. WE DO!! Make them all pay for their own! We have to! And we do more for the people in this country than they do!!
Actually, would be terrific if Dems would introduce amendment when bill returns to house to eliminate healthcare from legislators’ compensation package and to either eliminate or drastically reduce any retirement benefits that they are entitled to.
And, doesn't Vance have a law degree? I guess a pigskin ISN'T everything!!!
That sums it up nicely.
Thank you to JD Vance for teaching us all what nihilism in power looks like in practice
Neither the opinions of JD Vance or that fucking idiot Yglesias need to be shared tbh Neither of them are friends to people needing healthcare
Cool so no health care illegal immigrants. Does that mean citizens get universal Healthcare? No. So, nobody gets Healthcare even though we are doing this to protect the sanctity of Healthcare for US citizens?
i, for one, have had far too much of this "healthcare" [crowd grunting, kicking the ground anxiously] LET'S MAKE MIGRANTS HAVE THE HEALTHCARE!!!!! [crowd goes wild. crowd and leader all immediately die before lights finish dimming (3 seconds)]
I haven't seen a damn thing about when we're going to get our $5k DOGE checks, have you?
But also, get fucked Matt Y!
I wish more people paid attention. The massive funding for defense & ICE while making poor families starve & lose healthcare shows us where their priorities truly are.
What's incredible is that the vice president can't even write bait that stays internally consistent for two sentences. If Medicare going broke is bad, surely so is not funding it?
A bedrock principal of the Republican Party since Reagan has been that most of your tax dollars are given to unemployed minorities in cities.
And rewarding your rabid base. (See ICE bonuses, settlements with Jan 6 criminals)
IMMIGRANTS DON’T RECEIVE MEDICAID
Resources will never be reallocated to the stupid magats. They will go to bezos, Zuckerberg, trumps, Putin, Ackerman, Koch, Walton…… I’m amazed at the magnitude of the stupidity this far in. Are all these maggots that inbred?
Dear JD Go to England. Fall down and break your arm. You don't live there. Nobody wants you there. People hate you there. They'll fix your arm for free. You fucker.
Summed up really well
Nativism is code for White Supremacy and giving away our treasury to the very rich. They ignore that fact that they are doing this on stolen land.
going further; Patriotism is an individual’s pride in their country. Nationalism is the destruction of the individual by the state. As the state takes away rights, it assumes them for itself. When the state is just one man, then he becomes the seat for our rights. That’s where we’re at.
This!
There is a deep and profound evil working here. MAGA is attacking America.
Vance targeting Matt Y is pretty funny, especially since Vance, under his prior legal name, JD Bowman, authored a blog where he put Matt on his sidebar—claiming he was one of few sane liberals.
We've already lost vaccines, colleges, cancer research, citizenship, disaster relief, weather forecasting, why not medical insurance and all the rest too? Have to feed those billionaires🤮
It can’t be bankrupt! We make the budget, these are all choices that including fucking over everyone who is poor! Republican or not 😭 will spend endless money on cages and potentially a golden dome or some shit but god forbid in this “Christian nation” anyone gets hElP. 😭💀
Can’t wait to piss on his grave.
Then fix the acceptance process if millions of illegal immigrants are on Medicaid. Most illegal immigrants work so how are work requirements going to stop the “fraud”?
Essential to add: And make sure those resources go to the powerful billionaires who fund your party, which you can do with privatization and tax cuts.
Exactly!
Vance could always make immigrant employers provide health insurance
let them fight
"Illegal" immigrants DON'T COLLECT MEDICAID. They do get emergency care and some health benefits in blue states. All Trump is doing is taking medical benefits away from US citizens to extort submission by states. ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/06/10/f...
In 2026 they'll have to advertise their immigration policy as a failure, if they still want to flame people up with the terrors of immigrant criminals flooding America.
Undocumented immigrants can only get Medicaid in emergency situations. The idea that immigrants are bandrupting Medicaid is a fantasy. It's bad that our VP is so ignorant that he believes this lie.
Since when do illegal immigrants get Medicaid? JD lies and then calls other liars in the same breath very, very often.
JD Vance loves 2 things: Lying and loveseats.
I've got a song for Yglesias, who is discovering anew the perils of centrism.
This fucking liar! This proudly corrupt, polished turd!
Is anyone surprised that a guy who became famous writing a mean book about his family is this much of an asshole? Nope.
Vance lies like leavitt
They are focusing on trillions worth of tax cuts for corporations and the millionaire / billionaire class though.
It’s cute you’re assuming republicans have human feelings.
1000 times yes to this. TBF, many voters will vote for law and order (limitless money for retribution) while not spending a single cent on social services. Thank Christian Fundamentalism for a populace that believes you bring out people's best when you're cruel to them.
Millions of americans will be fine with being punished if they think others who they hate are being punished more (immigrants, trans people, etc). We are not a kind people. Very mean spirited. Fearful, hateful, and ignorant. Careless. A sad but unavoidable conclusion.
Interesting also that all of a sudden healthcare is a "right"
JDV and Matty Y in an argument over who is the more dishonest is a perfect emblem of our times.
Also: there's a dishonesty chart for these people? Just a line going straight up?
Special shout out to the dude who sent me a DM defending Matty Y's honor and then blocked me
And give the savings to trump family and the other mega rich.
Last Place Aversion
This is how we become a third world country
Heck, even Canada doesn’t give irregular immigrants healthcare coverage (except temporarily during a global pandemic). You must present proof of provincial residency and qualifying immigration status (Canadian citizenship or permanent residency, or certain visa status) for a provincial health card
this isn't aboot you, jack
How you gotta be so awful you make Matt look good and kind?
Jd will not make me root for matty
I volunteered at a pregnancy centre for a while in the US. Many undocumented women couldn’t get medical attention they needed after childbirth because they couldn’t access healthcare without huge bills. Tell me what undocumented immigrants are stealing Medicaid??? Even as a PR I had to pay to
be on medicine. I didn’t get it free like my American husband or kids. There was a monthly fee and this was in a very blue state.
this is the very definition of "National Socialism" * Benefits for the in-group * Recission of benefits/expulsion/extermination for the out-group
Punishing everyone
Also start revoking citizenship
Vance is lying. 🤥 he knows it. undocumented immigrants can not get healthcare here. They can not and do not vote here.
Seriously. I have to claw for everything I can get on Medicaid, and it gets worse and worse every year. They won't budge on anything when it comes to policy. If I so much as put a toe out of line in terms of financial resources, I practically have an SSI agent battering down my door
with demands for repayment and threats of terminating my benefits. There is nothing that gets between the U.S government and the money it feels belong it it, not even its own citizens.

What voters think nativism means : getting to watch others suffer What it actually means in practice: suffering
Since they’re going to force us all into this nightmare, I hope it absolutely devours MAGAs by the trainload. Them and their collaborators. The more of them that get chomped up by the monster they unleashed on all of us, the better
Illegal immigrants don't get healthcare... They do pay taxes though!
Heartwarming, the two worst people are fighting 💜
And this sort of post is exactly why free speech absolutism is bull and slander and libel laws exist. Outrageous that he should be allowed to make this sort of slur without consequences.
Who is JD married to again? I'm sure his in-laws came here the "right" way, but he knows damn well any immigrant on Medicaid came here the right way, too. Otherwise, they wouldn't be eligible.
Start revoking citizenships so you have more resources to revoke more
Sort of material to Vance’s post is “this guy pretends to care about people losing their healthcare but I don’t even pretend!”
"by right" JD???
www.policygenius.com/health-insur... JD Vance is a FCKING LIAR!
on the plus side today apnews.com/article/jimm...
Illegal immigrants can't utilize Medicare they don't have a social security number
"and giving them healthcare" what fucking healthcare, JD?
Coherence in Republicans otherwise incoherent policy is simply, the beatings will continue until moral improves. If this is winning I really don’t want to see what losing is.
JD knows that undocumented immigrants aren't eligible for Medicaid. He really is a nasty little creep. tinyurl.com/4ba9xw6c (PDF at medicaid.gov)
They place focus there instead of on the work requirements for new medicade recipients. 80 hrs of volunteer or work ages 19-64 a month ,for people already working multiple jobs , or elders who need it to supplement Medicare plans they can't afford. It's vile
As a new Medicaid recipient myself I could not agree more.
and shoveling tax payers‘ money into the privatized prison biz
Yes but if JD black bags Yglesias to some black site, he’ll sweep 50 states.
If that’s his concern remove immigrants from the Medicaid rolls? Oh wait they aren’t on it unless the state pays for it
There is one thing I think we can all agree about: the dishonesty if off the charts.
🐷💩 bsky.app/profile/ched...
And...there are no actual criteria for "OTHERS" SO IT COULD BE ANYONE THEY CHOOSE
If you had used Alt Text, I wouldn't have needed to see this.
JD Vance is a demonic Nazi that must be defeated by any and all means necessary.
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Fuck all these people for constantly saying that illegal immigrants are getting benefits! They might pay into them but they don’t get them back!
It should be a national holiday of celebration when JD and Drumpf enter the gates of hell.
The year of the boomerang. What we've done to others we will do to ourselves in time.
FU-K JD 👹👹👹
And U can focus ressources on punishment as soon as Citizens complain
This is right, indeed !
So he’s saying that citizens deserve healthcare?
two idiots fighting yesss yessss
Matty Y getting quote tweeted on immigration while also wanting to throw immigrants under the bus…man idk
Why does nativism always seem to come from people living in a trailer park, who pay more in rent for the spot their trailer sits, than the trailer is worth?
📌
Well there's a quote by someone so obviously that trumps everything else
Whilst lining their own pockets.
We should be hearing that "stop giving resources to others so we can spend them on Americans" just died in this budget bill. Taking away healthcare and food security from millions of Americans.
We ARE the others. Nobody overseas is using medicaid or the ACA for healthcare. That's just...us. And republicans are just taking it away to give away to billionaires.
Point is, we were supposed to be saving money by not sending money overseas. That's what they said. "America First," blah, blah, blah.
True ,so why is funds Taiwan 's defense system in the bill ?
Not sure what you are trying to say, but an enlarged and empowered China is not a good thing for Americans.
I've been around long enough to have heard all the reasons & it's never for our benefit. We still have little to no affordable health care,housing or opportunities but hey let's not let China be empowered when in reality they ALREADY are.
True. Hypocrisy is one of the central maga weapons. Lies and hypocrisy. Make america healthy again! By taking away health insurance. Creating the biggest deficit in history at the same time. While decrying spending.
Don’t forget giving as much wealth to the oligarchy as possible as well!
+1
I suspect that I'm going to die as an eventual result of the passage of the spending bill.
and focusing resources on the further enrichment of billionaires
