“...GOP proposals to exclude undocumented residents from Medicaid...”

The democrats word this proposal WITHOUT using “undocumented” (illegal) residents and they make it sound like the GOP is wanting to reduce Medicaid to AMERICAN citizens....

It ain’t true.....

Forget the reconciliation route.

Put what is needed in a bill.

Have a vote.

Let the Democrats explain why your taxes went up thousands so somebody wouldn’t have to pay $35.

Just saving some federal judge from having to make the ruling later.

Can’t the parliamentarian be overridden? Just like the filibuster?

Why do illegals get Medicaid?

Because they can go to the ER and just not pay the bill which means the hospital has to foot the bill. Let them keep all the Medicaid they want but send them back home. They can’t go to a US ER if they aren’t here.

Hell no. That is naive and exactly what the rats want. I would called a crushing loss for Trump.

Not only can she.

She can be fired and replaced.

Now why are senate republicans keeping someone who was hired by Harry Reid (so they have someone to blame for their failures)

“The Senate Parliamentarian is not elected. She is not accountable to the American people,” Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) posted on X. “Yet she holds veto power over legislation supported by millions of voters.”

This...

“Senate GOP leadership has repeatedly shot down that idea, and Thune reiterated Thursday morning that they wouldn’t overrule the MacDonough.”

Won’t overrule “THE” MacDonough?
