Posted • October 4, 2025: Remove the noise, and it’s a nightmare. The Democrats know this issue makes them vulnerable, so they’re leaning on the legacy press to convey their point. It’s not going to work. No doubt, the Democrat-media complex is making an aggressive push, with numerous hosts trying to checkmate Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans on the matter of illegal aliens getting health care. It’s an easy talking point to slap down, since Democrats have it in their list of hostage demands. Democrats opted to shut down the government to get $1.5 trillion for illegal alien health care and National Public Radio. It’s a backdoor attempt to undo the tenets of the Big, Beautiful Bill in July. There’s already been cracks, and the GOP should show no mercy in exploiting the seams here.

She was the Democrat Party's nominee for president just last year. Now Democrats want to pretend that they didn't just shut down the government over healthcare for illegals.

A smug Ashley Allison gets exposed on CNN's panel by Phil Williams. "The average state spends 5% of its Medicaid, roughly, on emergency services. California? 35-40%. Why would that be? Because California passed a state law that says we will fund Medicaid for illegals." —— —— Tapper: Here is the provision that shows you want to give illegals healthcare. I understand it's not an accurate depiction. —— Jeffries: It's a lie. —— Tapper: It's a lie… but it does bring back funding for healthcare for illegals. (…)
