335K views · 17K reactions | #RickScott faced a heated confrontation in a restaurant, highlighting his controversial decisions on healthcare. The woman accused him of cutting Medicaid, saying, “It’s how you cut Medicaid so I couldn’t get a comment here.” Her frustration underscores the tension surrounding #RickScott’s policies, particularly his role in reducing Medicaid funding. During his tenure as governor, he supported measures that limited Medicaid expansion, impacting low-income individuals’ access to healthcare. The woman’s comments, “You don’t care about working people” and “You strict women of access to public health care,” reflect broader criticisms of his administration’s stance on public health services.

This incident also touches on the broader economic narrative #RickScott often promotes. He is known for touting the creation of “a million jobs,” a point the woman sarcastically referenced by questioning, “Who here has a great job?” This suggests skepticism about the quality and accessibility of the jobs created during his governorship. The clash between #RickScott’s economic achievements and the perceived neglect of social services speaks to a larger political dynamic, where economic growth is often weighed against social equity. This encounter serves as a microcosm of the ongoing debate over healthcare access and economic policy in Florida.

As Florida governor in 2016, Rick Scott signed HB 1411, defunding Planned Parenthood and similar clinics, slashing women’s access to reproductive healthcare. He also blocked Medicaid expansion under Obamacare, creating a coverage gap that left ~800K low-income residents many of them women without insurance. repost @pulsereportnow

Every Wednesday, I stand on the corner on 7th Ave & Glenrosa with a dozen or so others holding signs of #protest against the #Republican regime.

We’ve been at it for 20 weeks. We’ll keep going. A near-constant presence is what we need. And is what we’re doing.

Today, U.S. #Senator #RubenGallego was being driven to a town hall in #Phoenix, saw us, and had his driver pull over so he could chat with some of the #RhRR regulars.

In a striking move, a Republican senator urges Donald Trump to "release the damn files" tied to the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, reflecting a rare bipartisan call for transparency. As public interest in Epstein's connections intensifies, this bold statement signifies a break from traditional party lines. The demand highlights the pressing need for clarity on these critical issues.

The Daily Beast · GOP Senator Breaks Ranks to Demand Epstein Files ReleaseBy Kenneal Patterson

So, #Trump is famously #lazy. Can't be bothered to read briefings, doesn't like working in general, would rather be enjoying leisure while paying a young woman to follow him around with a wireless printer, printing out any news stories she finds where people say nice things about Trump (no, I am not joking about this).

So people point to the amount of time he just takes off from "work" to go golfing. See, for example:
trumpgolftrack.com/

It's pointing out that of the 163 days he has currently spent in office, he was actually out-of-office golfing for 38 of them.

I'm not sure why these 38 / 163 days are a big deal. The Democratic party has been absent for 163 of them.
