My in-laws are MAGAts. One is on Medicare and ssi. I'm waiting for something to happen that affects them, and I'll sit back and watch as their faces are being eaten.

Hasn't this been a conservative wet dream to end these programs since they started? Doge just lets them bypass Congress and all the republicans get to shrug their shoulders and say "there is just nothing we could do, king shithispants can't be stopped". If only Biden had the same mindset to push through things like student loan debt relief.
