BREAKING NEWS: Medicaid activists, protesters, and seniors in wheelchairs are currently being zip-tied and arrested at the Capitol Building for protesting Trump and Republicans' Medicaid cuts. The activists were staging a sit-in at the Russell Senate office building to demonstrate against proposed spending cuts to social safety net programs.

This activism highlights the ongoing fight for disability rights that MAGA Republicans are trying to cut in Donald Trump's Big "Beautiful" (bullsh*t) Bill along with Social Security and Medicare. Yet another disgusting and reprehensible infringement on First Amendment rights and freedoms from the Authoritarian Trump Regime. - 06/25/2025.
