9/ Clinton’s 1996 reform changed the politics of welfare. Trump’s 2025 reform changes the foundation of welfare. It boosts the economy, saves billions, and says: “We believe in Americans’ ability to work.” And unlike ‘96 — not one Democrat voted for it. https://t.co/MagyhFHiKm — Rod D.

8/ Could it be stronger? Sure. Some loopholes exist, and a few states get temporary exemptions. But tying America’s biggest welfare program to work is a massive shift. https://t.co/zotrOGodh7 — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Aug 13, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RodDMartin via IFTTT

7/ Work rules for Food Stamps are also expanded: ➡ More childless adults covered ➡ Parents with kids over 14 included ➡ Waivers to avoid work requirements sharply restricted Roughly 8 million people affected — most will move off welfare as a result. https://t.co/HnXUu5Cx9m — Rod D.

6/ Food Stamp reform is just as tough. For the FIRST time, states share financial responsibility for the program. If more than 6% of spending is erroneous, states eat 5–15% of the cost. With nearly every state above the threshold, fraud policing will explode. https://t.co/SvO872ebf0 — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Aug 13, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RodDMartin …

5/ The bill also goes after the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. States that gamed the system with “provider taxes” to milk federal funds get hit with penalties & bans. As that ends, states will have every reason to repeal expansion & push able-bodied adults into the workforce. https://t.co/WttVn48B47 — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Aug 13, 2025 …

3/ Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” changes that. ➡ First-ever Medicaid work requirement ➡ Food stamp work rules expanded ➡ State fraud penalties for overpayments ➡ Medicaid expansion incentives rolled back Impact: at least double the number leaving welfare vs. 1996. https://t.co/e9acm6YUkN — Rod D.

2/ In 1996, Clinton’s reform cut TANF rolls by 60% — about 8 million people — by requiring able-bodied adults to work. But TANF was small compared to today’s welfare state. Medicaid now covers 83 MILLION people. Food stamps? 42 MILLION. The 1996 reform barely touched them. https://t.co/29CMdUfeQi — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Aug 13, …

🚨 Trump’s welfare reform DWARFS Clinton/Gingrich’s 1996 welfare reform. Biggest welfare reform in U.S. history — and you probably haven’t heard the details. Medicaid work requirements. Food stamp crackdowns. Fraud penalties. Here’s what it does ⬇️ https://t.co/lNmsbgeSVd — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Aug 13, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RodDMartin via IFTTT

this includes a lot of regular people, who aren’t even necessarily public figures! They just only want yes men around. Sometimes they resort to extreme measures to get people around them to agree. — Ashley Fitzgerald (@RizomaSchool) Aug 13, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RizomaSchool via IFTTT

Some people just want to be surrounded by sycophants. Those people are impossible to truly be friends with. Friendship requires at least a degree of humility and a sense of humor about yourself. — Ashley Fitzgerald (@RizomaSchool) Aug 13, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RizomaSchool via IFTTT

@theboocer @DrCatharineY She won’t address your concern. It doesn’t fit her narrative. — Christopher Morreale 🇺🇲 (@CMorreale1984) Aug 13, 2025 from http://twitter.com/CMorreale1984 via IFTTT

@DrCatharineY Do you see the problem with the study and applying it to the US issue of autism?? By the age of 18 the required number of shots for Danish children is 17 doses !!! By the age of 18 the required number of shots for US children is 68 doses !! This of course …

@DrCatharineY RFK Jr’s objection is about the lack of a control group used to compare against the study group. His concern is valid. So, basically, their study looked at 1.2 Million children and compared the finding against what? Without a control group, how can the study claim its data proves https://t.co/KGtY549lWQ — VIOLET (@zappviolet) Aug …
