https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/upshot/republicans-medicaid-cuts-paperwork.html “The Republicans decided on the talking point that they wanted to say, ‘We didn’t cut anyone’s benefits,’” said Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach, a professor at Northwestern who studies food assistance. “So instead they’re going to say, ‘Well, we’re going to really squeeze folks that we think should be working.’” The Trump administration has prided itself on deregulation, cutting rules for business processes throughout the government. But when it comes to antipoverty programs, this agenda moves in the opposite direction, making individuals work harder to prove they qualify for government programs. Federal and state agencies would also need to build vast new bureaucracies to measure and monitor the new paperwork. Republican lawmakers, White House officials and researchers who advise them argue that the extra paperwork and processes are a way of ensuring that only the truly worthy can access government help. “If you’re going to be on the public wagon, you have to do something to help pull it, if you’re able,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said last month in a CNN interview, in which he said Republicans “are not cutting Medicaid.” The bill does make some direct cuts to Medicaid funding, but most of its health care savings come from administrative changes. That’s a significantly different strategy from the Republicans’ attempt to repeal Obamacare in 2017, which would have directly reduced federal spending on health programs, and was thus easier for opponents to attack. But Democrats are trying. Chuck Schumer, the Senate’s Democratic leader, has said tens of millions of Americans would be “mummified in new red tape.” Decades of evidence show that administrative barriers prevent vulnerable families from receiving benefits, while simplifying programs can increase use. In the first Trump administration, more frequent Medicaid eligibility checks led to losses in health coverage for more than a million poor children. Studies of student aid applications have shown that programs that help families fill out the forms boost college participation. They can't figure out how to fill out an application? Do they belong in college? 🤷‍♂️

Communists are always concerned with other peoples money. democrats say the same ***** ... over and over...billionaires blah blah blah...go out and become a billionaire instead of whining what someone else has... This billionaire bs is pulled by democrats because they know the lazy youth will get infuriated with this lie and vote democrat. They love the low iq vote. Personally I'd like to see a breakdown of what your so called billionaires tax cost vs the massive amounts of welfare being handed out in this country.

It's like when the Republicans first nominated Trump and GOP leaders were just speechless. No doubt about it, this is a disaster for Democrats, and New York City. If Democrats want to defeat Trump and his copycats they had better get their own house in order

I was wondering where you had gotten to. 🤔

“The Democratic Party are Marxist Communists Socialists and also they are the party of the billionaires.” -MAGA logic Meanwhile, the party that received the overwhelming majority of donations from billionaires, is led by a billionaire, has a cabinet full of billionaires, and is trying to pass a bill that basically nobody likes that gives huge windfalls to billionaires while raising costs for average Americans is *not* the party of billionaires. Got it.

This board sucks, all we do around here is talk about wide receivers than the mods come here every morning to bump the threads.

Another Marv Levy mistake. Shortly after he was drafted I was at a Univ. of Virginia baseball game. Sitting next to me was a guy who had a kid on the opposing team and we got to talking. He told me he was a regional scout for an AFC east franchise. Didn't name it, but I figured it was probably the Ravens. Anyway, I asked him if he knew anything about Ko Simpson and he made this face gesture with eyes rolling which I assumed to be a negative view. He said ya, he knew about him and then said "Believe the Wonderlic."

If you speak to anyone with any knowledge around the Browns they will confirm it. I don't know how much of bringing in Watson was him. But he was the one who wanted Baker out.

Sorry I'm a bit late seeing this comment, I was wondering what you've seen and how you know this about him hating and it being his call?

No problem I tend to keep a fairly low profile other than game threads. Awesome place and people’s here.

Why do you think he’s hit his ceiling? What indicates that? I tend to think that people get better at their job over time given more experience. I’d say McD has done that up to this point, so why should he stop now? That’s the way it’s supposed to work, and from my experience how it typically goes.

When the pain of love surrounds you And the world may be unkind I'll put my lovin' arms around you Take you far from this place and time Because you and I've been in love too long To worry 'bout tomorrow Here's a place where we both belong I know you're the only woman that I'm dreamin' of You're the only woman that I really love

Though I feel we have seen his ceiling as a coach, I could never be so happy to be told to piss off as I would if he leads the Bills to a SB win.

I think Knox’s hands are just fine. They’ve improved a lot over the last few seasons

I may be sorry I asked this, but where does one go to find highlight footage of an incomplete pass thrown by a rookie quarterback in the second half of a preseason game? A friend of mine wants to know.

Guy could write a guide on how to tank a hall of fame career in one swift season

Doesn't work on you? Who gives a ***** about you?

that was the one in fact against the raiders the following week. guess that memory didnt stick out as well as i thought!

The clip of Levy running an (already back then) old man sprint to the EZ to celebrate is priceless…but tell me I am not the only one who thinks there was some home cooking going on with that clock after Kelly spiked the ball—there shoulda been at least 5-7 seconds left! Also, Kelly just looks like such a field general out there—no worries, just like Honey Badger staring down some cobras! 👏Love that guy!!

You made more sense with “human trafficking” and “everyone’s talking about sex because gay people exist”. It’s everyone else that is dumb though. Whatever you have to tell yourself. Someone as sharp as you should know how to spell non sequitur. It happens - preferably not in the course of trying to prove yourself superior. Oh well.

Step 1. Understand that a deficit is a result of a lack of funds and spending more thannyou have. Read another way, the deficit isn't funded. So, a blank page? This would be closer to accurate if the elitist billionaire class wasn't the democrats. You realize democrat and independent writers are publishing stories specifically stating this, right? You are so ***** stupid you should probably just eat rat poison.

Just can't admit fault can you? Just FYI, the white supremacy stuff doesnt work on me at all. I don't give a rats ass about that. That is such a small portion of the population.

Not Bills related, but in my 20’s Danny Gare gave me and a friend his autograph on a napkin at Mother’s in Allentown. The thing is, we didn’t ask him for it. I was wearing a Lonfontaine jersey after a Sabres game and we struck up a conversation with him. I wish I could say it was cool, but surreal and bizarre would be more accurate. He had clearly had a drink or two, and he was mostly bitching about Glen Sather and his last season with the Oilers. I never expected that I’d be the one trying to find the conversation off ramp in an encounter with local celebrity. 😂
