Raskin: "The central part of the campaign will be, do you want to elect Democratic majorities to stop millions of people from being thrown off their healthcare, or do you want to go through with it? They thought they were clever in saying they would wait until 2027 so nobody will feel the pain"

Voters are not going to pay attention to all of that. When are the Democrats going to learn that they need direct, short, and simple messaging? I.e. They’re Delaying the Pain—Don’t Let Them Take Your Care. Your Health. Your Vote. Their Scheme. Don’t Be Fooled—Healthcare Cuts Are Coming.

But the Democrats aren't running on this, but instead diffuse appeals to democracy and worse, against Trump. They need to state is happening with healthcare. They are playing right into the GOP's hands by deferring the results of the cuts so they are not associated with the current administration.

We need to offer more than not MAGA Medicare for all Federally legal Cannabis Ban right to work laws Money out of politics Make climate, public health (includes addiction, control & homelessness), and education national priorities

The Day of Reckoning looms—not just for the red-hatted cult, but for the blue-tied enablers as well. History won’t just ask what MAGA destroyed—it’ll ask what Democrats allowed. "We tweeted strongly”, won’t cut it. Ask a post-war German how well silence holds up in a tribunal. History is watching

Hey, you know that ridiculous amount of money the Republicans gave Trump to put thugs on our streets? Well, it's proof that we can come up with money for stuff when we want to. How about we claw that money back and put it toward Medicare for all?

Now all you have to do is get that message to all the Fox viewers who have been told by their cult leader that all media (except Fox) is lying to you. You know what? That’s the same problem that Kamala Harris had last cycle. To be honest, the one thing we need to do first is; POP THAT BUBBLE

Not just the old- we’ll go back to what is was before Trump but that we need to make things better than they’ve ever been! I want people who will vote overhaul the Supreme Court! And we will have to have enough Dems to override Trumps Veto!

It is utterly disappointing watching corporate Dems continue to message and act (because lack of action speaks volumes) like they have no clue what is going on in America in 2025. 20th century politics is dead. There will be no 2026 election. Lead or get out of the way.

Message won’t get out unless Dems go on fux and all the right wing propaganda places maga go and put the truth out there. Call out all the lies and tell the truth. Every day, not just a few weeks before elections are to be held.

The central part of the campaign, @raskin.house.gov will be, do you want to end democracy to a party installing a fascist dictatorship on behalf of oligarchs trying to protect their corruption and concentrated capital? Because people dying without health care is INTENTIONAL bsky.app/profile/atru...

I sure hope saner voters come to our polls to vote for a saner group of leaders . I am horrified at this march toward destruction of America’s principals of all men and women equal and all held responsible for lawlessness if they try it.

Healthcare is a good issue if also coupled with things that affect people who already have healthcare but are still struggling. They've got to come up with ways to help people who can't afford housing, groceries, and child care as well, and show how the Republicans are the problem with them.

He needs to clearly explain what democrats will do immediately once in power to change any of it. Tell us if you have power! Tell us how you can fix it!

They really need to bring home the point that this isn’t just Medicaid people, that it is people who buy on the ACA market and that all of this will cause hospitals and offices to close and medical care harder to get. It is the destruction of our entire healthcare infrastructure not just Medicaid.

@raskin.house.gov is so out of tune - clueless! Those of us with cancer, diabetes, chronic illness screamed for #Medicare4All the last FEW elections. Democrats gave Israel bombs to kill kids in Gaza and us higher deductibles Fuck the politicians, get out there and fight ICE, nothing more important!!

You also need to campaign on hospitals closing with the Medicaid cuts. It will also affect those with private insurance, not just those on Medicaid.

Raskin gets it. The GOP isn’t hiding their plan—they’re delaying the pain until after the votes are counted. It’s not policy. It’s bait-and-switch cruelty. Millions losing healthcare isn’t a glitch. It’s the goal. #TheHouseAlwaysWins #HealthcareIsAHumanRight #GOPPlaybook

You have to apply the tourniquet to staunch the bleeding before you apply the remedy. Were you paying attention at all to what Biden was trying to achieve during his presidency? If you don’t vote or vote for someone who has no chance of winning, you will perpetuate the what is happening.

This. Dems want their jobs and corporate money. They need our votes. No thanks. It’s a losing party that loves aipac and corporate money more than serving the people. We saw Corey Booker trying to hide in a photo shoot with Netanyahu. No thanks.

Let’s be clear. There are many blocking actions that control of the House will facilitate, but it will take more than that (massive veto proof control of House and Senate) to reverse the harm being done.

You're delusional if you think midterms will magically make the fascists obey the law and Constitution. They have taken over and will not let go through litigation or traditional politics. Q: What did the pacifist say to the fascist? A: Nothing, he was fucking dead...

Fuck the campaign. Why would you believe any elections would be honest at this point? They stole the Presidency twice and tried another time. I know how this sounds, but we’re way beyond normality. CONCENTRATION CAMPS ASSHOLE!

The Democrats have been vehemently against the reasonable state-run system. These cuts are horrible, reprehensible, but I hope they might result in a backlash yielding healthcare for all.

Congress can choose to cancel funding that has been previously approved but not yet spent. This is called a rescission. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 outlines a process where the President can propose rescissions to Congress.

Medicaid is only a fraction of the crap they are doing to destroy this country. They are breaking laws, breaking the Constitution, eliminating life-saving organizations, & increasing their wealth on dirty deals, etc. They are being as crooked and vile as possible. We need to pack the court, too.

They didn't lie about Project 2025. People just didn't believe they would actually follow it like a template. Now Vought/Miller are the President and Vice President and Trump is just a figurehead. The Coup is complete.

I believed it. I fought it. I'm still fighting. bsky.app/profile/nurs...

P2025 was publicly available in 2023. I read it. It's pinned on my page. Here is a P2025 tracker, they're 1/3 done in 6 months. Why didn't the D party prevent this? They benefit from it. It's a bipartisan problem. www.project2025.observer

Little Action talk beyond writing letters🥴 If tRump allows midterms, which woN't, No talk of then Dem controlled committees investigating RIGGED 2024 election😡 Have Little 'time' for constitutional expert who didN't propose invoking section 3 of 14th amendment www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e8x...

20 bucks says when the Democrats win, they let all of the Republican criminals walk away with ZERO accountability. The GOP deserves worse than prison and I've learned that Dems will let them walk. I have zero faith in anyone but AOC and Sanders.

Unless we get some young blood in there yeah they'll "play nice" like usual against the thugs who will break your kneecaps to get a vote Back when government was gonna shut down all they had to do was unite and force repubs to use Reconciliation then. No they let them save it for this terrible bill

This is why primaries are important. Folks like AOC, Sanders, and Mamdani are having a moment. If we can push out the folks that think winning elections is about being a slightly less extreme version of Republicans, there’s a chance that we can make the Democratic Party stand for something.

We need to elect bulldogs and not who we feel is the most likable. That's been a problem for a while. The gloves are off. We need to play politics using their game. They are targeting Democrats, we need to return the favor and not sit on our hands this time & prosecute to the fullest extent.

I have news for folks. The provisions of the law may not go into effect until 2026, but plenty of anticipatory reductions, restructurings and closures will take place before that. Healthcare is gonna be hit hard! In many small communities it’s the #1 industry.

I've seen right-wing economists (not MAGA, real thinkers) argue for universal health care, from the standpoint that our current system stifles growth. Employer health care costs companies more, stifles employee mobility, and leads to systemic inefficiencies.

It feels like it's pretty much only the health insurance industry and parts of the health care system that want the status quo, but their lobbying efforts and money do a hell of a job at buying votes.

With all due respect, Sir, did you not learn a lesson from the last election? These folks do not care about the “gift” of Medicaid to people who aren’t “working for it”, nor do they think it will affect them. Get your people on the ground, talk to them, find out what they really want, and campaign!

We need to fight like maga. We need to campaign NOW & EVERY DAY until the election. We need to go on fux, all the right wing propaganda sites, correct the lies they spew & then follow it with the TRUTH. We have to reach EVERYONE! Big mistake not reaching out to maga, independents, young, old, etc.

I think taking an anti-establishment stance, fighting to return power and wealth to WE THE PEOPLE, ending the staggering orgy of Trump corruption, protecting the constitution emphasizing FREEDOM, restoring national security. The protest songs for this were written 60 years ago.

Trump and his sycophants daily attack Democrats on many issues. We must fight back on every false claim & promise - not just one or two. Start with groceries- Trump promised much lower prices- hasn't happened, and prices are expected to go up. www.ers.usda.gov/data-product....

I just HOPE we will put up guard rails on our elections. There were multiple bomb threats on election day. SERIOUUSLY! They were clever in rigging the 2024 election. We are still feeling the TRAUMA. FOLKS WE ARE NOT DEALING WITH A NORMAL GROUP OF PEOPLE. They are evil and we need to call them ON it.

Sure. Now, what’s the plan even if we put Democrats in majority of both House and Senate? The legislation is law. They’ll have to pass a new budget via reconciliation undoing the damage — but Trump will simply veto it if they do. Even if doing so crashes the government.

That is THE WORST PHRASING!!! Omg #DEMS you need editors who want you to win. You need better writers. You need strategy that isn’t #boughtandpaidfor to make you lose like this. If you ask anyone: “Do you want to elect Democratic…” NOOOO!! Is the guttural response. Stop denying/ignoring that.

It would help to point out that throwing people off of Medicaid typically increases the cost of private insurance as the cost of the uninsured gets collected one way or the other. Shareholders in health-care companies certainly don't eat the cost.

Healthcare is only part of the issue. I want to see a 2/3 majority in house and senate to impeach Donnie droopy drawers, remove his cabinet, and roll back all the misery he and his gutless wonder GOP have inflicted on America.

I just don't have much hope that Dems can defeat Republicans in 2026. They are so weak and incompetent at campaigning. They don't know how to fight in the Felon era. And the medicaid cuts dont go into effect until after the elections.

Hey Jamie,we can’t trust the democrats to stand up for us. You are all in the DC bubble and out of touch.David Hogg tried to enlighten all of you but he was kicked out.I don’t trust you or any other Dem.You are not representing we the people,you are all representing your personal interests!

If we stop these men, we stop Trump. Paul Danes, Russell Vought, Kevin Roberts, these men are Project2025. These are the men that have made it possible for Trump. We need to shake their worlds up!!! Treat them like we treat ICE!! Let's get in some good trouble!

Pithiness not the Democrats' strength. Nor is strength the Democrats' strength. My lord, how is it that they can't rally around fighting fascism? "The central part of the campaign is, beat the hell out of the fascists" There I fixed it for you, Jamie Raskin.

Midterms are the most delusional thing in history. They are never going to happen. If they do happen, they’ll be rigged. Vote no matter what, but don’t wait for midterms to act. We need people fighting Fascism now!

Dear republicans and independents and yes even democrats. We have to be smart here. We cannot lose our healthcare. We must take care of our Children and those with disabilities. We must do better as a nation and take care of one another.
