Just a reminder that Louisiana is the 2nd most dependent state on Medicaid.

Every major hospital system is warning the House Speaker this will cause catastrophic harm to people in his own state.

Meanwhile, even the Cato Institute has pointed out Republicans are literally just burning absurd amounts of money on Deportations.

Deportations to Add Almost $1 Trillion in Costs to the “Big Beautiful Bill”

Really curious to hear how Americans are being helped by anything the Republican party is doing right now?

 

As the “big, beautiful bill” teeters towards passage in the Senate, every major health system in Louisiana sent a letter Saturday to the state’s entire congressional delegation, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R), warning that planned cuts to Medicaid would be “historic in their devastation.”

The letter said that the Senate’s version of the bill would cut more than $4 billion in Medicaid funding, with a loss of more than 16,000 jobs. Even the House’s version of cuts, the letter stated, would be a more palatable solution.

However, the “economic consequences pale in comparison to the harm that will be caused to residents across the state, regardless of insurance status, who will no longer be able to get the care that they need,” the letter reads.

“Steep cuts will force consolidation of services, staffing reductions and closures, reducing healthcare access to everyone in our communities. Our rural communities will especially feel the impact as many of these hospitals are already in difficult financial situations and are likely to experience a significant reduction of services.”

TFW your government literally just hooked a brain dead pregnant woman up to life support against the wishes of her family, to force her to give birth, but somehow tries to paint political promises of baby baskets for newborns as dystopian nightmare fuel.

Disagree, that's basically saying if you vote in your best interest you can't complain.

What the actual fuck

The headline is that Stephen Miller of the Trump administration, owns stock in Palantir. Miller is not Peter Thiel. Miller is the angry bald guy that is always dramatically screaming we should be more aggressive with deportation policy.

Because he, and 10 others in the administration, own stock in the company that also receives millions in federal contracts regarding immigration and deportation, one might suggest Miller has a vested interest in the policies he is always aggressively screaming about being necessary for America's safety.

Considering that even the conservative Cato institute has said the deportation policies outlined in the big beautiful bill, will ultimately cost tax payers trillions of dollars to fund, one might suggest that the policies Miller and others in the administration have put forth, are actually driven by greed rather than any ideology or belief that what they are doing is in America's best interest.

The blurb mentioning Thiel's company is to provide context to the reader about how much money his company has already made under this administration.

Given that Thiel and the entire administration do all seem to be in agreement that democracy should be dismantled in order for a ruling class of chosen elite to take it's place, one might begin to wonder, if that is really a good idea. It would seem then, that it is as newsworthy as anything else documenting more blatant corruption and scamming of America by the chosen elite who are leading this administration, and hoping to convince everyone what they're doing is in America's best interest.

The investment, held in one of Miller’s children’s brokerage accounts, raises conflict of interest red flags as the tech company continues to play a substantial role in the work of U.S. immigration officials.

Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin called the group’s report “very silly”

... This is the same official spokesperson that downplayed concerns about Trump trying to shut down the office of Civil Rights and Liberties, and then like a month later defended DHS and the Pentagon hooking federal employees up to a lie detector test to find leaks

The watchdog group that obtained Miller’s filing identified 11 other administration officials who either currently hold or have owned stock in Palantir, though none with holdings as large as Miller.

Guess he has a vested interest in acting like a hateful psychopath, and gleefully breaking apart families. It's good for business.

There's a lot of convoluted history behind what led to Project 2025, and that's likely on purpose.

This is a place to collect information about that history into one place, and hopefully get more awareness and discussion going about any odd or interesting information relating to the Heritage Foundation and it’s members or affiliate groups.

If you’ve got obscure information/articles written by or mentioning people like Paul Weyrich, Ed Feulner or other associates and organizations, such as the Heritage Foundation, Council for National Policy (CNP), State Policy Network, and many others, please drop them here.
