Newsom has a podcast where he invites Nazis like Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk on. You should see the bigger picture of what cozying up to Nazis to talk about how minorities are a problem and shouldn’t have rights means. Newsom is the last person to save democracy.

into voting for the previous smaller Medicaid cuts. Plus there’s a few republicans who were mad that there weren’t bigger Medicaid cuts and a smaller deficit. So more Medicaid cuts and bigger deficit? Maybe Johnson and Trump can bully everyone again into accepting this new version but we’ll see
Tara (@shadebinder.bsky.social) reply parent
The original house bill passed 216 to 215 the tiniest margin. That bill has been torn up and reconstituted with even greater Medicaid cuts and even an even bigger deficit. There’s a bunch of “moderate” republicans who had to be personally cajoled by Trump…
Tara (@shadebinder.bsky.social) reply parent
Johnson doesn’t want to accept this amendment because any amendment means the whole thing needs to go back to the senate and be redebated and voted on Realistically the real yo-yoing here is actually that Johnson will have trouble getting the house to vote on this as is
Tara (@shadebinder.bsky.social) reply parent
Basically the only reason it won’t be accepted. That and it’s a waste of time with the Byrd rule. Johnson wants to vote on it as is so it can actually pass and not go to the senate and get debated all over again. realistically that’s very unlikely given how they barely managed to pass it last time
Tara (@shadebinder.bsky.social) reply parent
It wouldn’t kill it. Byrd rule violations have a senator raise a point of order objecting to it. If the parliamentarian agrees then they have it separated as a separate 60 senator vote and if that fails they just remove it. Like they did earlier when they didn’t even try the vote
Tara (@shadebinder.bsky.social) reply parent
Also even some republican states so have gac for adults on Medicaid or aca plans. In the case of Montana gac is protected by the state constitution so as long as there’s no federal ban Montanans can access gac.
Tara (@shadebinder.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s not academic because when with the cuts there will be tens of millions of people on Medicaid and other ACA plans (which would also be affected!) and the SC decision wouldn’t effect blue states which keep gender affirming care on Medicaid.

Going nuclear is also “kosher”. And there’s no difference between that and ignoring the parliamentarian. What stops democrats from passing anything they want when they are in charge and having the officer of the senate make the decision then? It’s just a shared agreement not to do that
Tara (@shadebinder.bsky.social) reply parent
They’re now at the point where they start raising points of order to challenge stuff as violating the Byrd rule. If they decide to go essentially nuclear that will be a big step so we’ll see.
Tara (@shadebinder.bsky.social) reply parent
They don’t need 60 votes if they nuke the filibuster. Nuking the filibuster and ignoring the parliamentarian are functionally equivalent. The only functional difference is budget reconciliation is much more restrictive due to the Byrd rule. And ignoring the parliamentarian is throwing Byrd rule
