12M TO LOSE HEALTHCARE!

Congressman Ritchie Torres, who represents New York's 15th congressional district in the South Bronx, appeared on The @jimacosta show to criticize the Republican reconciliation bill, calling it "a catastrophe for the Bronx." Torres noted that he represents "the poorest congressional district in America" where "67% of my district is enrolled in Medicaid" and "more than 70% of children, more than 80% of nursing home residents, more than 90% of baby deliveries are covered by Medicaid."

Torres argued that the bill's trillion-dollar cuts to Medicaid would destabilize healthcare providers nationwide, stating that "just about every hospital in my district is either teetering on the brink or in the red." He framed the legislation as benefiting the wealthy at the expense of working families, noting that "Republicans are cutting healthcare by a trillion dollars in order to provide tax cuts, not to working people, not to the middle class, but to the top 1%." Torres emphasized the concentration of wealth in America, saying the "top 0.00001%, which consists of 13 families like Elon Musk, have as much wealth as the bottom 50%, which consists of 65 million Americans," and concluded that the "so-called Big Beautiful Bill is going to compound inequality to an extent that we've never seen before."

ALSO -- SCAM ALERT: YouTubers, beware: Jim Acosta's "mom," "sister," or "assistant" sliding into your DMs is not the real deal—it's a scammer. Jim Acosta is not having his family members reach out to random YouTubers for collaborations, and his actual staff aren't DMing you about exclusive opportunities. If someone claiming to be connected to Acosta contacts you out of the blue asking for money, personal info, or promising partnerships, it's 100% a scam. Real journalists don't work through fake family member outreach campaigns. Block, report, and move on.
