State That Helped Trump Win LOSES $314MIL in Vital AID in His Budget Cuts
Very Dangerous: Trump Dumps Billions of Gallons of Water Farmers Were Counting On For Summer
Trumps Order to Abolish Dept. of Education
Trumps $2.3 TRILLION Medicaid Cut ? Will Poorer Americans Survive?
MSNRAW 4 FEB 2025
Trump is willing to wreck the world economy. Global must fight back NOW
Trump is to use an executive order to abolish the Department of Education even though he cannot legally shut down the agency without the approval of Congress.
Sources told NBC News that Trumps executive order aimed to eliminate the federal agency following years of campaign promises. Host Stuart Varney asked White House Karoline Leavitt to confirm the news during a Tuesday interview.
So you cant confirm that he is going to try to abolish the Department of Education, you cant confirm that for us? Varney asked.
I will say that President Trump campaigned on that promise and I think the American people can expect him to deliver on it Leavitt replied.
WATER
Trump recently ordered the release of massive amounts of water from two California dams, and now local farmers are scrambling to preserve precious freshwater resources needed for dry summer months.
Reported Friday that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers acting on Trumps orders released water from the Terminus Dam at Lake Kaweah and the Schafer Dam at Lake Success, which are both in Tulare County in the San Joaquin Valley. Whereas water was originally flowing from the Terminus Dam at 57 cubic feet per second (cfs), its now reportedly flowing at more than 1,500 cfs. The flow from Lake Success went from 105 cfas to 990 cfs as of Friday morning.
In a post Trump tweeted a photo of beautiful water flow that I just opened in California, writing: Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spokesperson Gene Pawlik confirmed that the release of water from the dams was done to ensure California has water available to respond to the wildfires with the direction of Trumps executive order

Heartache-TRUMP Quietly Unveils SECRET Major Medicaid Plan to Hit The POOR
My Heart Aches: TRUMP Quietly Unveils SECRET Major Medicaid Plan to Hit The POOR Under Cover of Night
Republicans unveiled legislation that would rip Medicaid coverage from millions of low income Americans including children & people with disabilities to fund tax breaks that would disproportionately benefit the wealthy
MSNRAW 13 MAY 2025
SNEAKY Donald Trump is joined by U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson
The bill text released by the House Energy and Commerce Committee is a section of the sprawling budget reconciliation package that Republicans are hoping to complete as soon as Memorial Day.
The legislation includes major changes to Medicaid that, if enacted, would kick millions from the program, including work requirements for some enrollees and new payment mandates for adults living above 100% of the federal poverty level which, for a single individual, is $15,650 in annual income for 2025.
A snap analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the healthcare section of the new Republican bill would cut spending by at least $715 billion over the next decade and leave at least 8.6 million more people without insurance.
Many of the Medicaid proposals from House Republicans are technical and wonky, and will be difficult for the public to absorb, said Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at KFF. What wont be difficult to absorb =CBOs estimate that the changes will increase the number of people without health insurance by at least 8.6 million.
Taking healthcare away from children and moms, seniors in nursing homes, and people with disabilities to give tax breaks to people who dont need them is shameful.
With the stated goal of combating fraud, the GOP bill would implement a slew of new reporting and screening requirements to check Medicaid recipients eligibility changes that analysts said would ensnare many in procedural red tape, resulting in large scale loss of coverage.
The measures work requirement mandates at least 80 hours of work, community service, or related activities per month. Most Medicaid recipients already work, and previous work requirements at the state level have resulted in disaster.
The legislation also alters cost sharing requirements for certain expansion individuals under the Medicaid program. In plain terms, the bill would force certain Medicaid recipients to pay more for coverage, whether through premiums or other fees.
If you make $20,000, a state might slap $1,000 of fees onto your Medicaid, Bobby Kogan, senior director of federal budget policy at the Center for American Progress, wrote in an analysis of the bill.
True sicko BS.
My heart aches for the people whose lives will be ruined if this becomes law, Kogan added. So it's our job to stop it.
Rep. Frank Pallone Jr, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said in a statement Sunday that this bill confirms what we've been saying all along Trump and Republicans have been lying when they claim they arent going to cut Medicaid and take away peoples healthcare.
Lets be clear, Republican leadership released this bill under cover of night because they dont want people to know their true intentions, said Pallone.
In no uncertain terms, millions of Americans will lose their healthcare coverage, hospitals will close, seniors will not be able to access the care they need, and premiums will rise for millions of people if this bill passes.
Taking healthcare away from children and moms, seniors in nursing homes, and people with disabilities to give tax breaks to people who don't need them is shameful, he added.
Democrats have defeated Republican efforts to cut healthcare before, and we can do it again .

Health clinics face cuts, closures as Trumps funding fight ripples outside of Washington
Across the country, health clinics and nonprofit organizations largely serving rural and lowincome patients have found themselves unable to access previously allocated federal funds, as government funding freeze has continued to disrupt daily operations for a range of programs. ?
Organizations say they are still unable to access money they urgently need to pay for salaries, utilities, supplies and other expenses threatening their ability to continue operating in their communities. ?

State That Helped Trump Win LOSES $314MIL in Vital AID in His Budget Cuts
State Trump Won by Just 1% Faces $314MIL LOSS in Vital AID
Wisconsin would lose about $314 million in food assistance from the federal government under the massive budget bill passed by the US House, according to an analysis of the cuts by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
MSNRAW 27 MAY 2025
The legislation, which Donald Trump refers to as the big, beautiful bill, would require states to start matching federal funds for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.
It would also impose new work requirements on families with young children and older people, and it would require regular paperwork to prove exemptions from such requirements for some groups, such as families with special needs children.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, Wisconsin Medicaid Director Bill Hanna said those changes amount to new red tape that could cause 90,000 Wisconsinites to lose some or all assistance.
He said that would put new pressure on nonprofits like food pantries and have ripple effects at the retailers where people spend what?s commonly known as food stamps.
The proposal would push many costs onto the state, where lawmakers and the governor are in the process of deciding the next two year budget.
Theres going to be more demand to put state money into a program that has been 100 percent federally funded for really its entire existence, which will strain the states ability to put its state dollars towards other things like education, our health care system and other important aspects of what we do with our state dollars, Hanna said.
Those state costs are calculated based on a given states error rates, which tend to occur when a persons income or residence changes unexpectedly. Hanna said that Wisconsin has a low error rate but is lumped into a bracket with states with much higher error rates, and charged accordingly.
These errors are not fraud, DHS wrote in a statement. For the first time ever, Congress is proposing an extreme, zero tolerance policy for payment errors harming states like Wisconsin that consistently keep error rates low.
States would also be responsible for covering new administrative costs and for providing job training to people newly obligated to fulfill work requirements.
All six of Wisconsins Republican congressmen voted for the bill. Both of Wisconsins Democratic House members voted against it.
Over the weekend, U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R Prairie du Chien, argued that anyone legally receiving SNAP benefits should not see a single reduction in their SNAP.
Hanna argued thats because the federal government is changing the definition of legally receiving SNAP.
They are adding additional red tape to folks to meet that by expanding those work requirements, he said. There certainly will be people who get caught up in the new red tape that they have to meet in order to achieve the benefits.
Currently, about 700,000 Wisconsin residents or an eighth of the state receive SNAP.
