Leading House Democrats, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and "Squad" member Rashida Tlaib, railed against the Department of Government Efficiency’s "cruel" cuts at a healthcare rally outside the Capitol, demanding the Trump administration not make "even a minor cut to Medicaid."
For weeks now, Democrats have been pushing a narrative that the Trump administration is planning massive cuts to government health programs, including ObamaCare, Medicare and Medicaid.
Several hundred protesters joined the rally organized by left-leaning groups, including the Women’s March, Planned Parenthood Federation of America and National Nurses United.
Speaking during the rally, Pelosi said: "They said they were going to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. In fact, that guy who’s in the White House said, ‘ObamaCare sucks,’ crude as he is. But nonetheless, we said it doesn’t suck, it cures."
"They say they want to cut waste, fraud and abuse. We’ve always done that. We have oversight. We know what we’re doing," she said. "Firing half the people at the Department of Education, that’s not waste, fraud and abuse, that’s brutal."
She also slammed the continuing resolution budget bill passed by House Republicans this week.

Speaking during a rally organized by left-leaning Women’s March, Planned Parenthood and National Nurses United, Nanzi Pelosi said: “They said they were going to repeal and replace obama’s Affordable Care Act. In fact, that guy who’s in the White House said, ‘ObamaCare sucks,’ crude as he is. But nonetheless, we said it doesn’t suck, it cures.”
“They want to cut waste, fraud and abuse. We’ve always done that. We have oversight. We know what we’re doing,” she said. “Firing half of the DoE, that’s not waste, fraud and abuse, that’s brutal.”
Yes u iz.
Keep on yapping . This is getting better every day.
We’ve always done that. We have oversight.
Why, no, you never did.
Too bad DOGE can’t cut the deadwood out of Congress.
Couda' fooled me.
If you have to declare that “we’re not stupid”! You are, in fact, stupid.
is you is or is you ain’t ?
you is.
Ratshida needs to work harder, she isn’t a multimillionaire yet, like Jasmine Crockett. Maybe it’s because she really IS stupid.
Won't take that bet. Figure you could do that in about 5 seconds! :)
I beg to disagree!
systematically “stupid” antiAmerican Communists, they are.
That whole squad is stupid. They might as well call themselves the Idiot Squad.
Remember, when the left speaks the opposite is true, so “we ain’t stupid” states the obvious.
Cutting waste and fraud is not cutting SS, Medicare and Medicaid, it is saving it.
One example my wife on her Medicare printout had 7 colonoscopy bags for total of 3500 and back brace for 1500.
None of which she needs or have received. Call fraud line and was told these were common fraud items.
$5000 fraud on one person multiplied by how many? Where is your oversight?
It’s their latest coordinated hoax. I don’t think too many people are falling for it anymore.
Ok. Also Chuck be brave.
Actually, the use of that phrase shows they can't be anything but.
