Senate Rejects Measure to Kick Illegals Off Medicaid 56-44 – RINO Susan Collins Votes No!

 Senate Vote on Medicaid Benefits

- Senate vote-a-rama on the One Big Beautiful Bill did not include a provision to stop illegal aliens from receiving Medicaid benefits.

- One Republican, Susan Collins, voted in favor of allowing illegal aliens to continue receiving benefits.

- Four Democrats voted for the motion to remove illegals from Medicaid.

- The vote failed by a margin of 56-44.

Byrd Rule and Provision Rejection

- The provision to remove illegals from Medicaid was rejected by the Senate Parliamentarian using the "Byrd Rule. "

- This rejection meant the provision required 60 votes instead of a simple majority to pass.

- Had it not been for the rejection, the measure likely would have passed.

Thom Tillis’s Opposition

- RINO Thom Tillis spoke against the bill's cuts to Medicaid for illegal aliens, claiming it would betray a promise made by Trump.

- Tillis criticized the bill for potentially causing harm to Americans relying on Medicaid.

White House Response

- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt countered Tillis’s statements, asserting he was wrong.

- Leavitt emphasized that the bill protects American citizens needing Medicaid and removes 1. 4 million illegals from the program.

- She insisted that able-bodied Americans should work at least 20 hours a week to strengthen benefits for those in need.

Upcoming House Vote

- The House is set to vote on the final version of the bill on Wednesday.

- It remains uncertain how many Republicans will oppose the bill after changes made during the Senate debate.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
