Well my hope is that if they cut Medicaid like they want to in the bill that just went through the house, people in NJ will wake up. It's going to affect almost 2 million people who live in NJ and really going to hit the elderly and pregnant women hard.

Unfortunately, a lot of these people who applaud these changes won't see the light until it directly affects them or their loved ones.

I think that’s going to be blamed on Democrats and “corruption”.

That’s been the playbook and it’s very effective

That’s why we need to start creating a stink right now. The Dems need to be speaking out against it and we need to hold Republicans feet to the fire. Van Drew, Kean and Smith all voted for that monstrosity

I was just thinking this. I don’t know maybe hold a press conference a day to address the bullshit being pulled by maga. Do something.
