JD Vance Just Told Millions to Die Quietly

He would rather fund mass deportations than help you survive

JD Vance just told the entire country that your healthcare is “immaterial” compared to funding ICE. That is not a misquote or a paraphrase. That is what he said while defending Trump’s disastrous budget bill. He went on Twitter, got in his usual debate mode, and accidentally revealed what this bill actually does to the working class. And the truth is devastating.

This bill slashes over a trillion dollars from Medicaid and other essential health programs like SNAP. The Congressional Budget Office estimates between twelve and nineteen million people could lose health coverage if this becomes law. And what does JD Vance say in response? He says that none of that matters. He says the only thing that matters is that this bill delivers more ICE funding and more immigration enforcement.

That is the trade he is offering. Give up your health care so the government can jail more immigrants. Lose your access to medicine so Trump can build a police state. That is the plan. That is the ideology. And Vance is admitting it publicly because the GOP is not even pretending to hide it anymore.

Lisa Murkowski also voted for this bill. Then she released a statement saying it was a bad bill. She said it needs more work. She said she hopes it is not the final version. But she already voted yes. She cast the deciding vote. She gave the bill life. Now she wants to pretend like it is out of her hands. These people think you are too dumb to notice what they are doing.

This bill is not just cruel. It is economically destructive. It cuts from the people who need help the most while giving enormous tax breaks to the wealthy. It targets green energy jobs for elimination. It increases the national debt. And it does all of that while growing ICE’s detention budget from three billion to forty-five billion dollars over the next few years. That is a 365 percent increase. They are creating a massive deportation machine and telling you to be grateful for it while your family loses coverage.

This is how authoritarian politics works. You redirect anger away from the people in power and onto a scapegoat. You tell struggling Americans that immigrants are the reason they are suffering, even though undocumented immigrants are not even eligible for Medicaid. You create fake panic about people taking something that was never available to them in the first place. Then you use that fake panic to justify gutting the very programs that those Americans actually rely on.

This is not a theory. JD Vance said it out loud. He said the Medicaid cuts are worth it because of the immigration policies. He said the CBO estimates are irrelevant. He is admitting the whole strategy. Use fear to destroy the safety net. Use racism to push austerity. Use nationalism to advance class warfare from the top down.

This is not a serious bill. It is not about fiscal responsibility. It is not about protecting American families. It is a cynical assault on the working class disguised as a border security package. It is a bait and switch. It is a con job. It is an open admission that this movement will hurt you and then lie to your face about why it happened.

They want to distract you with culture war panic while quietly redistributing wealth upward. They want to break your back and sell you the boot. And they think you will never notice.

Well now you have.
