It's okay if this fails. It's okay if Republicans block this. The true crime is not trying constantly to impeach him ... besides, it's not like Dems are doing anything else.

OP implies that Israel is a genocidal, apartheid state. It is therefore antisemitic.
Proof:
It is well known that Harvard is ACTUALLY Hamas-vard.
Most elected Democrats are against this. But hey, I'm sure Lesser Of Two Evils™ thinking is going to stop making things worse eventually.
Oops. That went over my head. LOL.
Oh Derp!!! X-P
My bad.
Medicade is a single-payer healthcare program that is almost entirely for the poor. (eg: People that insurance companies can't squeeze money out of.)
Without Medicade most hospitals will go bankrupt - and what few social services & charities there are for the poor will be absolutely swamped to the point where they will be ineffective.
Moreover: Medicade prevents medical bills from forcing the poor from choosing between a rent & food and medication they need to live. So if Medicade gets gutted, the US homeless population is going to blow up.
Medicade is a piece of load-bearing social infrastructure that most Americans - who are not on Medicade and barely understand the difference between Medicare and Medicade - are blissfully unaware of it's ramifications for the entire healthcare system.
Put another way: The only reason we don't have hordes of people in the streets demanding universal healthcare - is because the poor have Medicade, so it's in their best-interests to behave.
How would that work? They are both nuclear-armed states?
How's that been working out over the last 40+ years?
The problem is that the 'Not Perfect' party refuses to actually fight or advocate for universal, popular policies. Instead, the "Not Perfect' party sits on their hands, bullies their base, and waits for everything to collapse so that they are the default option.
-
Republicans enact cruel and stupid policy.
-
Democrats refuse to reform cruel & stupid policy because it benefits their backers. In fact, Dems may even brag about how THEY are even better at it.
-
Cruel & stupid policy predictably backfires - and gets blamed on Democrats who pretend they had no control over anything.
What I suspect is happening is that Trump is attempting to give Democrats an opportunity to get in on DOGE while it still polls well.

If he does try to do this, Democrats will fall over themselves to explain why they support the action, but quibble on how the paperwork was filed to implement it.
