Republican bill timing has some benefits first, bad news later. How do we mitigate if we are hoping for help from FAFO? [View all]

They may not see the worst effects until after the mid-terms.

For example medicaid cuts will not see effects till maybe late in 2026 while several tax benefits are effective for 2025.

So the only short term solution is spreading the truth, while it will go over the heads of many.
